Came home last night about 9.45 went to go on and the message said upgrade in progress try again in 30 min

Came back a bit later and got on - had to log in again, now everytime i shut down firefox and then reopen i need to log in again.

has there been an upgrade that requires this or has someone changed something on my computer.

My kids are famous for "knowing" what i want when i'm not here.

Cheers

Same deal, I just opened it up in IE7 and had to log in, ..... yes I know firefox...... but I use IE at work and it is easy using the one platform

[tea lady]

I had to log in yesterday, but not today. :shrug: 'Puters!! Who knows.:doh:

[RufflyRustic]

Me three, or is that four:?

I'll find out and let you know.

and it seems to be even slower than it was before. And something weird happens when you try to edit posts. Kinda gets stuck. Click on "save" again and it works. :shrug:

[munruben]

Yep is happening to me too. Been here about 3 times this morning and have to sign in each time even though I tick the "remember me": thing. I am using firefox.

[munruben]

Just tried it again and its still the same. Got to sign in.

Hi there

I didn't need to re-login, both IE and FF worked fine.

Part of the update involved forcing users who used a password that was the same as their account username, to update their password to a more secure one. An example of this would be;

username: BillyBob
password: BillyBob

Not sure is this was the cause, but there are still over 300 users who still haven't updated theirs :2tsup:

I still have to login everytime I come on, clicked the box to remember me, and my username and password are different from each other.

[DavidG]

Had to login after the update but not since. (Google chrome)

[jackliveshere]

Works alright for me, once I close firefox then open again it has retained my login details

Cheers,

Will

[Mulgabill]

Yes, same problem as above but appears OK at this time!

[billym]

Same for me...Most of the time have to LI and ask to remember,No pattern just every so often I go right in.billym:~

[RufflyRustic]

How often do you clear your cookies? If you have your cookies cleared everytime you exit your web browser, then you will have to log back in here when you start your web browser again.

Just a thought.

[DJ’s Timber]

And another thing too, is which URL are you signing onto, don't forget that you may need to sign into each URL if you follow links from threads. There is 3 different URL's remember.

[flynnsart]

Well, I logged on to woodworkforums.com and it rememberd me next time, logged on to woodworkforums.com.au and same thing, but the ubeaut one continues to not remember me:C, guess I will just change my bookmark.

Donna

[billym]

Gday calm: I close down using the log out control on the bar. I always get a "all cookies are cleared" box. As I said once in awile I go straight in but 90% of the time have to log in.I guess it is the old story, its there so I want to use it,but It olny taken a sec or two to do the "long way"thanks for the helpbillym:):)

[billym]

DAHHHHH, clam use read you post again and I will try loggin out without using the log out on the bar...Hope it works and thanks billlym:)

[Stevenp]

I can't get it to remember me no matter which URL i use , both explorer or firefox. :( Is this a problem with individual computers or the website? It seems strange that so many of us are having the same problem all at the same time.

[46150]

this has been an ongoing problem for me over the past 6 weeks.I had the puta upgraded then and thought that was the problem.Obviousley not,,,,,,,,,just coincidence.........Al

Hi guys

I was able to create a user account and remain logged in between sessions and computer reboots.

Some possible causes for not staying logged in are: browsers, browser settings, cookies being blocked, Internet and security settings, ISP and/or cache issues, firewalls, ad-blockers, spyware, proxies and any other application that affects Internet content.

The first place I would check is browser settings to make sure it isn't blocking cookies or removing cookies when its closed.

Then check settings in firewall and virus software like norton or whatever people use these days.

What browser are you using? IE, Firefox :shrug:

Once we know what browser you're using, I can direct you :;

[46150]

.......................Firefox Steven

[DJ’s Timber]

Ok, click on Tools up near the top then Options, then Privacy and check that the Keep until is set to they expire

Thanks DJ

for the past 6 months since i have been using firefox i have clicked on bookmarks, woodwork forums and it has gone straight in and stayed logged in.

When i am finished i click on the red X in teh top right corner to close it down.

Since the other night everytime i go in i must log in. If i open another tab in the same program it is logged in, if i open firefox again while the first one is still open it is logged in but if i close firefox and reopen it again i am logged out.

Sounds as if the settingsd in my computer hve changed -

cheers

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Yup. Recently when Firefox auto-updates the settings in the Privacy tab tend to screw up. :~ From rumblings on various sites I believe this is a widespread problem.

Follow DJ's instructions to 46150, then in the same menu check that "Always clear my private data when I close firefox" isn't ticked.

If it is, either untick it or click the "settings" button next to it an ensure "cookies" is unticked.

this is what it has always been

[munruben]

I have still got the problem. All the settings are as stated above. I always had a shortcut to the site and it always worked for me up until yesterday I think it was. I haven't changed any settings or made any changes to my computer so I don't think it is a computer problem. If it is, then it is strange it is happening to so many forumites computers. It's a pain in the neck to have to keep signing in.

John, can you PM me your password and I'll log in under your username and shut down the browser and re open it to see what happens on my end.

I tried it for Calm and it was all fine on my end.

[Calm]

I FIXED IT

not sure how but i found the password wasnt in the remembered password box so i deleted all the cookies and then logged back in and ticked the remember me box - this time a window came up asking if i wanted to save this to the passwords and i said yes and waalaa it bloody works

So dont know how but i fixed it. Will try to find the windows and buttons for the others to try.

The cookies window i hit remove all

The passwords only had Ebay so i didnt delete it but now i have both.

Hope that helps others

Cheers

deleted passwprd again, logged out then in and you will notice at the top of the screen it has an extra line that i ticked to confirm save.

PM received and have checked from my end and can reopen browser still logged in, so you may need to do a bit more checking JohnThanks for the help DJ. Your last suggestion seems to have fixed the problem .. I deleted everything in the browser options boxes as you said and then shut down and opened up and ticked the "remember me" box again and closed down again and I got back on without having to sign on. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
Thanks again:2tsup:
