Signing into community constantly........ What a PITA

harley_babes_hoard — Sun, 30 Aug 2015 06:27:32 GMT

Is anyone else having to continually sign into the boards. Every time I leave the boards open and leave my computer for a few hours I have to sign back in.

It is driving me nuts. Is there a setting I'm missing, something to keep me logged in ? I find it a total PITA.

You are automatically signed out of the boards if you have not been active for an hour.

My gripe is with signing in via the gold banner link....it NEVER activates the first time and I have to go to the sign in link on the left top of the page.

It seems to be about every 2 hours for me too. I just walked down to the markets and I was out for well over an hour and I'm still signed in.

Moderators can you suggest to your big wigs that you change the sign in timer to make it a longer period or at least give us a button to stay signed in Please. .............

The ipad in particular is a pita. If I click on a link I am booted out.

Well on the music thread with the youTube links anyway. Very annoying!

Maybe clearing your cookies and milk would help?

Yes, always. I have to go to the top left and push sign in-every time.

As much as I like cookies the signing in has nothing to do with them

Sure it does. As long as I'm active I never have to log in again.

Without the cookie file, we wouldn't recognise you when you came back, so you'd need to re-enter your data each time.

how does that have anything to do with clearing cookies. If I was clearing cookies after each visit I could understand it but I'm not.

Wow you're pretty combative even though I gave the answer and a link with ALL the instructions.

Ok...don't clear them.

And I'll leave off with this.......(don't click this link either)
