Although I have checked the box for logging me in automatically at each visit, I find that I keep having to log in when I enter the site. It's maybe just me but I wondered if anyone else was having the same problem.
It is possible that your internet browser is set to delete cookies on exiting. The browser uses cookies to store information like login details for automatic login. In Internet Explorer this would happen if the box in 'Tools > Internet Options > Delete browsing history on exit' is ticked.
Thanks for the replies chaps. I use Safari as my browser and can't find 'Tools'. It must be called something else in Safari. However, I don't have the problem in a couple of other forums that I frequent. The plot thickens!
Have you tried a different browser? If you experience the same issue in a different one then its likely nothing to do with your cookie settings. A quick google revealed that the cookie settings are in preferences and then under the security in Safari tab BTW.
Had to login again today. What is interesting is that before I log in my username appears as one of the members who is online and yet I still have to log in. One for Sherlock Holmes I think!
Sorry Crispin. I haven't changed my password nor do I have another computer or phone which is logged on. I really don't mind logging on each time if a solution can't be found as it must be something wrong at my end if no-one else is experiencing the same difficulty.
I don't mind being 'kicked out' later today as long as you don't put on your big boots!
If it happens again then we'll have a dig. It could be that too many attempts at your account force a log-out of all connected users (weird but possible...)
