Stay Signed In on the Forum

[wumpabill]

How do I stay signed in to the forum?  I sign in to the forum and when I close it out  and come back later I always have to sign in again. Can any one please help on this issue?

I've never been signed out, so perhaps it's a browser setting you have to clear cookies.

 

Or perhaps it relates to how long you are inactive...

 

Do others get signed out also?

Patrick,

I am always on a lot and I never sign out , I sign in and go thru the forum and close out and come back fairly quick and I am signed out, so I have to sign back in all the time. I do not think it is my browser, this just started of this issue since I changed the password

Hi Wumpabill,

 

If you delete the history of your browser, you are obliged to register again, maybe has happened to you?

[wumpabill]

I have not deleted anything in my browser,

IMO this is totally about your browser's cookies / session configuration, wumpabill. 

 

I don't have any issue, stay always logged in...

 

Probably that browser , by you or a family member, have been set to delete all cookies after closing the browser. It's just a setting in preferences in every browser out there. IMO, review that as a first.... If it is deleting the session cookie, that's totally it...

 

Edit : If i remember well, there's also a setting for "persistent login data" (or something like that) on or off, which has that effect if turned off, I believe.

Have not change any browser settings, I am the only using this computer, no body here ever gets on my computer,, this is the onl site that closes me out and have to sign back in every time I come to it

Using Chrome on one PC and Firefox on another, both Windows 10, I don't get logged out from the forum. If Windows 10 gets auto updates (too often IMHO) I have to restart the browsers and reloading from History automatically gets me reconnected to the forum without re-logging in. I don't really understand why it works, it just does.

I'm using Chrome on a Mac and I don't get auto logged out.  Does this happen with every browser you use?

[wumpabill]

Yes all browsers, and I am using a PC, not a Mac, windows 10 pro 64 bit

Hum.. with all your browsers...But in a single pc , right?  (btw, am using pc too, windows 7 64 bits, works great here)  . Crazy thought, yet... could it be some sort of... utility , like a a system cleaner (CCleaner was one that could do it, I believe) , (I dont' recommend installing those things... ) or antivirus, or firewall application that has that as an extra over-protection feature, which is actually cleaning all your browsers cookies (for all of them) ? I wouldn't be too surprised, though, seen many weird things (or not only "seen", but having to fix remotely...(thanks Teamviewer! ))

 

or.. some proxy application doing something very strange...

[SrPx]

maybe is IP related ? And if ip changes session ends ? I don't have fixed ip, tho...

 

No, really the session_id is getting lost, not sure why, but am mostly suspecting it's about some extra utility in your system....
