Welcome to the NEW discussion forums

Yep pretty cool :-)

not sure, just taken me forever to sign in!!

I like the new surroundings.

Yeah Vixen,, signing in goes around in circles, especially when doing it whilst trying to reply

Hi guys - we are aware of the issues and are looking to resolve these asap. Please bear with us! Thanks, Ben

When I came back to the forum later I had to sign in again, is this correct? as I have my browser settings to accept the cookies for this site.

I wonder which particular cookie is the one that dictates whether I need to sign in again.

Some say in around 20 mins later, and others say at end of session etc.

Hi - yes this is correct: the login session expires after 20 minutes of inactivity, or when you close your browser. After the session has expired you will need to log in again. This is seen as best practice for security reasons. So if you go away from the forums for a while, you will need to log in again.

Cheers

Ben

I can be on the forum for only a minute, but once I do a 'search' for anything, I have to log in again. It forgets who I am.

I too have my browser (FF-9) set to accept cookies. This is the only forum I visit where it does not remember me.

I take it you have your browser set to accept cookies?

RickF,

Ooops, sorry, I just noticed you already said your browser is set to accept them.

Have you tried to delete all your temp cookies and cache?

Yes,

I clean out temp files, cache, etc often. I have CCleaner that I use regularly.

I'm trying this site for the first time using our iPad to see if it will remember me. We'll see. I'll post back one way or the other.

Ok,

The iPad use seems to work ok in that the site remembers me (insert smiley face here). But I don' often use the iPad for forum posting as typing with it is not its forte. You can't touch type but more like "hunt and peck".

Thought...

Maybe there's something with the forum that doesn't like FireFox 9? I was forced to up grade to this for other reasons... And I sure don't like IE too much anymore. Tha browser used on iPads (all I think) is Safari.
