Log in, and again, and again.....

What's the deal with having to "RE"- LOG IN every few minutes. Am i the only one that has to do this ?? Have i got a setting applied that could be causing this ???

I am not having that problem, it may be your computer or ISP settings.

I have a similar problem using Firefox. I don't know if it's browser related. I find that I don't necessarily have to sign in. If I click on the search button or a few of the others, it shows me as signed in. Very strange. No other websites do this.

Same thing here.

I have found that if I check the box "Remember Me" next to the login you won't need to keep logging in as long as you keep the browser open. I use Firefox and have it really locked down.

I do allow cookies (for session) from steelsoldiers.com and I allow javascript from steelsoldiers.com.

MMM, cookies.

Why on earth is this in the CUCV section?

 

[LanceRobson]

Checking the "Remember me" box dosen't help. The squirrelly thing is that if I open a thread or return to the "page with the day's posts, it sometime forgets who I am. If I then try to post to a thread, I can't. If I click on the 'Search" or 'Forums" tabs then my ID shows on the next page and I can navigate back to the days threads and be signed in. It's inconsistent and a little goofy.

Even if I just booted up the computer and opening the website does not log me in, I can click on "Search" and I'll be signed in.

Chalk it up to the zombie apocalypse hackers.

Thats what i thought to my self also... shouldn't this be in the Website Help - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite section ?

I use firefox and have no problems.

I'm not saying it's a Firefox issue. I don't know enough to know where the issue is.

Today I opened the SS website, it showed me as not logged in. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the "log in" tab without filling anything in. The next page popped up with me signed in with a message that I'd used an incorrect password or user name and needed to sign in.

Go figure.

For those of you who wonder why this is in the CUCV forum; If it bothers you, why did you open it?(now you need to subtract 2 points from your test score to become Junior Assistant Probationary Moderators)

Most browsers have a function called "keep-alive".

With Mozilla based browsers, follow this path from the edit button:

Edit->preferences->Advanced->HTTP Networking

An options screen should show up with a button for "Keep alive" check it.

What keep alive does is keep tickling the webserver every few seconds so that it knows you are still there, and won't hang up on you.

I tried moving this to the correct section, but when I swung the monitor around I knocked everything off my desk.
