Automatically signed out?

[Sir Henry]

My last fix didn’t really fix it for me and I’ve had to sometimes log in every few minutes. I got good at it but kept trying to figure out why.

All the settings were correct but I hadn’t cleared prior passwords thinking they no longer worked. The auto sign-in didn’t know which to use. Once I deleted all previous passwords it seems to work fine.

Time will tell.

Well this fix didn’t work this morning but the log-in information was automatically filled in. All I had to do was hit one button and not fill in my user name or password. This I can live with.

Gene, I don't have any issues here. The only place I find it hard to stay logged in at is my computer at work. They have so many protections, half the time I only stay logged on for one or two changes in looking. I can hardly ever get into the admin functions on the work computer. It almost always forgets me when I try to get into the "back room". All my other computers at home are fine.

Its still happening especially on Friday evenings & Saturdays. Is there a picture limit of 2, a system backup time, a system update time, new user bumped off for an older user when max users on on?

As far as I know, there is no limit for pictures in a single post, there is no preference for older users vs newer users, and there is no limit to the number of users who may be on at any one time.

Daytime Dave can answer the backup and update questions with certainty, but I believe updates are done manually and Dave notifies the group when he's going to do one. The forum's hosting service does regular backups for all of their accounts, but it shouldn't affect users (but Dave can say for sure).

I hope you can find a solution, wingnut. I suspect the auto sign out issue is caused by settings that manage cookies in your operating system and/or browser.

I suggest poking around in your browser settings first to see if there's some checkbox somewhere that could be doing it. I use Chrome on my desktop and laptop computers, both running updated versions of Windows 7 Pro, and do not get logged off. I'm also automatically logged in whenever I visit this forum.

There is this in the forum's FAQ. "Why do I get logged off automatically?"

Yes, I did "remember me."

More facts... I logged on @ (time) 1310 local. Viewed a few threads then cursered the back arrow or went to "Board Index" @ 1318. I looked at the login/logout box and it asked for a login. Curious, I refreshed the screen and I was returned to logged in again. I suspect my browser. THX.

I get logged out all the time but can now login with just a few clicks as I use the auto fill.

We have pretty much unlimited everything at the host end. I wanted the members to be able to be able to post photographs from their home computers directly to the forum. That was the best package that was offered. It encompassed all kinds of things I don't understand, but it was all good.

It's most likely an issue with your browser, your security settings (I have a security certificate but can't put it in the sites "brain"), or the lunar pull on the tides.

I'm glad you persist in logging back in. We have a lot of fine folks here. My next step is to find someone who is well versed in the system the forum uses and I'll pay them teach me how to perform "brain" surgery. I should be getting some free time soon.

Hopefully getting the security certificate working is one of the priorities.
