Signing In
 
Could one of the moderators please tell me why I get kicked out of the forum. The system remembers me and allows me to enter the forum. A couple of hours later the system makes me sign in again, 2 or 3 times, before it accepts my user name and pass word. I have checked the remember me box each time. This has been happening for 2-3 weeks. Thanks, Tom

You Too?

Tom,

The problem may be in your computer's security settings rather than the forum. The problem could also be caused by your Internet provider.

Thanks Mark. How do I fix it? Tom

It happens to me all the time too... I mean every time - but only on my iPhone, never on my laptop.

I have never had "remember me" mean a bucket of spit on any website that offers that service.

So you're saying that you have to sign in with your user name and password each time you enter a website you've been on countless times before?? :shock:

Sounds like security setting may be too high and has disabled "cookies" which is how sites remember you.

Good point. If you delete your cookies it may solve the problem.

How to delete cookies is generally the same but will vary depending on what browser and version of it you are using.

Using Google Chrome to delete Cookies:
1. Click on the drop down button (upper right on screen)
2. In the drop down menu click on Settings
3. At the very bottom of the (new) Settings drop down menu click on advance settings.
4. In the Advanced drop down click go to Privacy. Review your privacy settings. Don't change if you do not know what these are for.
5. Within Privacy click on the Clear History tab. Any IT guru please correct me if this isn't the "dump cookies" function on Chrome!!!
6. Close down all your browsers and reopen.
7. You will now have to log into ALL of your sites (webpages) at least the first time.

Other browser such as Internet Explorer will be a little different. I ususally look for Tools, then Advanced, and on IE, I believe their is a Delete Cookies buttom or tab rather than Delete History.

If you can't figure this out get a teenager to help you. It is way to hard to try to help people resolve their IT issues via this forum or telephone. One can really screw up their computer by clicking on the wrong things!!!! Be careful!

Good Luck!
Mark

I have the same issue as Dean with my iPhone. It started several months ago. If I google pgca it will allow me in. But with Google I can't post pics anymore. Safari will allow one pic at a time
