Lately, I've been having some log-in problems. Even though my user name and password are stored in Firefox, I always need to log in. I also constantly find that after about an hour of being logged in, I automatically log out again. On top of that, sometimes logging in once is ineffective, and I need to do it again.

 

Is this a general problem or is something wrong with my Firefox settings?

it happened to me for about a day or two last week. generally speaking, if your ISP changes your IP #, you will need to re-login. it could just have been that the IPs were resetting often for whatever reason. not a problem the past few days for me at least.

I had that problem and was about to complain a few days ago, but then it went away so I said meh.

It sounds like your IP address might be changing, that could cause the issues you mentioned.

Nowadays(when compared to say...two month ago), I have that problem as well. Though I do use a lot of different computers.

Yeah that's happened to me. I'll be typing a post or a comment, go to enter it then bam, I can't because I've been auto-logged out and I'm like "**** you!" But I'll live with it. If it happened regularly I'd PM the Green Dragon about it, but as it is...

it keeps happening to me too

This seems to be an issue with a number of people's accounts, and has only started fairly recently. We're trying to gather as much information as we can to hand over to admin. If you're experiencing this problem, could you check and see if there's anything you can add to your report above, such as which browser you're using, when the problem started, how often it happens, and anything else that might be relevant?

well for me it started.. about 2 months ago(can't remember exactly), i use mozilla firefox, it seems to happen every time i come on however when i leave the page and come back in like 5 mins im still logged in its just when i leave it for idk, an hour or so, and sometimes when i log in it says i have and goes to the transfer page then when i go back to the page i was on im not logged in

Thanks to Steve for raising this. If people continue to have trouble - it would be most helpful to know browser, version, OS and anti-virus programme. As well, a cut & paste of any error would also be of benefit.

It now seems I have to log in daily, both from my work and home PC's.

 

Specs:

 

IE7

WinXP Pro

Norton AV

Hmm, I need to log in from both my girlfriend's and my dad's computers each time, although both the Mozilla setting and the forum setting is set to "remember me".

 

Dad's comp:

Mozilla Firefox(newest)

WinXP Home

F-Secure(disabled, except application control)

 

GF's comp:

Same version of Firefox, I think

Vista

No security other than Vista native.

I primarily use firefox, and at home it's on WinXP, at work on some form of Linux.

one day last week i had to re-login probably 4 times, and i assumed it was because my ip changed (we're dynamic, though normally it does not change but once a month). it may not have been a result of that because i have a buddy that has an ssh tunnel into our network and he did not have to change his ip that day. haven't had a problem since. several other times over the past year or so i have had an ip change, and my buddy also had to reset his ssh, which is why i posted the above comment.

 

oh, as for the "error," there really isn't any that i see other than the guest screen when i come here. it still has the ****** in the password box as well as taks in the login box, so i simply hit the button and i'm back in. maybe the software is having cookie issues (i.e., they're expiring quickly)?

Hi all, I made a few cookie changes so let's see if this helps.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Despite password being "remembered" by OE and Mozilla (which I now use ) I have to log again later once I disconnect from the internet. I don't "fall off" after an hour though.

Is it only with this site walkerguy? Can you please clear your browsers history and cache too as a troubleshooting possibility?

Seems to be working.

I'll let you know whether or not my log in keeps, again, it is only after I disconnect the connection and return later that I must login in once more.

Do you have dynamically assigned IP addresses? I noticed that I need to log on everytime I switch IP address, not when doing it from the same address.

I haven't had the problem lately. Seems like it's fixed. Thx.

twice just now, though with two different tabs.

make that three.

taks - can you confirm that you are still having this problem?
