Login Quesstion for the troops
Guy's just a quick question. I am on several forums (GUN) and there is only a couple that I have to login on every time I visit. This site especially. Can someone please explain why it is not remembering me and not auto logging me in. Love the sight but it is a little frustrating.
Re: Login Quesstion for the troops
When you log in it has a box below that you need to check to keep you logged in. If you don't check that box you'll be logged out every time you leave the site.

I can't imagine wanting to stay logged in when I am not here. I make my PC remember the password and it also knows to open this forum on the log in page so it's the same amount of work either way.

Curious as to why is it a problem staying logged in?GasGuzzler wrote: ↑22 Mar 2024 06:01 I can't imagine wanting to stay logged in when I am not here. I make my PC remember the password and it also knows to open this forum on the log in page so it's the same amount of work either way.
Re: Login Quesstion for the troops
I'm not sure if you're actually logged in while you're offline. I think it's just that the website 'remembers' your computer.
Perhaps the moderators could chime in and explain exactly what happens.

Re: Login Quesstion for the troops
The FAQs... answer most of these questions. The link is found in the sub-header menu. This link deals with login issues and cookies.

The short of it is that if you want to remain logged in and you have checked the appropriate box when you initially log in, you probably have a problem with the cookie the forum left on your computer. Find the "Delete cookies" prompt on the footer menu bar to correct this. This will log you out. When you log back in, check that "stay logged in" box, and you should be good to go until something compromises the cookie.

Re: Login Quesstion for the troops
I've been logged in for like 10 years now... unless I go through and delete all my cookies, then I have to log in on all the sites I visit and re-click the box.

Re: Login Quesstion for the troops
Okay guy's,
I went to the cookies and added this address to it. So it would allow the cookie be placed and so far so good if that makes any since. I am a member of I don't know how many Gun Forums and this is the only one that I had to keep logging in. All others auto log in. Now it seems this one is too, so time will tell.
Thanks for all the help.
