Is there some sort of timer with the log-on?

This is the only forum I am experiencing it, but it seems that the "Remember Me" is only effective for 24 hours. I consistently have to re-signon. Doesn't appears to be my computer, where other forums have been away from for months and it recognizes me when I return.

I now know to look when I first arrove to see if I need to signon. What prompted this post, apparently the 24 hours clicked while I was active on the forum, signing me off where a reply "did not have permission."

Is there something in profile or settings that I need to adjust?

Try clearing your cookies and logging back in, especially if you're using any version of IE. This may resolve the issue for you.

No reply necessary. Just mentioning that I've logged on 3 times in the past half hour. Every time I change from one forum to another. I won't have this problem again for another few weeks, and then it will pop up again. I clear the cache every time I shut down the computer. Maybe this is the problem.

Appears to be an IE related issue - even after clearing cookies. Typically don't like to clear cookies because erases those of other sites not having a problem and wanting to keep. Apparently can't line item delete like in other browsers - it's all or none with IE.

Switched over to Firefox and consistently logging on. Would switch permanently away from IE, but a few job related sites demand IE with error messages and refusing to load if logging on with any other browser.

I came back to my computer after a 16 hour absence and am still logged on. Unheard of, but entertaining.

i came here to post this. i have the same problem, i use firefox at home and now i'm at a friends using safari on her imac. pretty annoying to have to log in 2-3 times during visits to the forums.

Same here. I'm running Firefox Beta 4.0. This is the only forum where this happens and I've even specifically allowed BF cookies. I've cleared cache, the old cookies and history. It's annoying because if I don't catch it at the main menu, when I log in from a forum, none of the threads are marked as new.

I've referred this on to tech. I can't reproduce the error on any of my browsers, so I can't tell you how to deal with it.

I'm on google chrome. I stayed logged in for days, and just now logged in 5 times in one minute--once for each attachment I wanted to open. Hi Ho.

Did you have any updates to any browsers or important programs?

Microsoft sent out the monthly Malicious check thing and one other update to me the other day.

Did you crash/have to do a hard shutdown or reboot? Data can be lost that affects your browser activity.

I found out IE8 has some kind of recovery mode if you crash but it has to be set on.

A bad mouse or other I/O device can ad will cause major crap and you'd never think it was busted. I also think they aren't made well these days as I've been over tha possibility myself too many times.

Any update to this? I'll stay logged on until I close the browser. I've allowed cookies from this domain, so they should stay.

Update: This appears to be an Internet Brands and Firefox issue. I'm having the same issue on other IB brand sites but my IE seems to hold the token where FF drops it. I'm also sending a bug report off to Firefox.
