Default Logging onto this site

Anyone other than me have an issue trying to log into this site each time they return? I always click save my password and remember me, but it seems like for the past 3-4 weeks, I have to log in with my user name and password each time I access it. Never had this happen until recently.

Yes, I've been asked to re-login a few times in the past week as well.

Keep in mind there are two separate things going on.. The Forum will "remember" your username if you check the box.. but not your password. It's likely your browser (explorer, chrome, etc.) that is remembering your password.

They both have to be right for it to be automatic.

Yep. Was fine for the past year, but in the past couple of weeks, have to keep re-signing in.

Yep. Doesn't happen every time, but enough in the past couple weeks to make it annoying. Happens on both my computer and iPad.

This has been covered a few times.

First, there was about 3 forced log outs in the past 3 weeks. So if you had to log in 3 or so times in the past 3 weeks, that's normal as it was part of software upgrades behind the scenes.

But if you're continuously having to provide your username and password upon visiting, then it's one or more of the following that is local (your browser or computer):

1) You're not using Remember Me option when logging in.
Solution: Make sure there's a check in the Remember Me box when you supply your username and password. If you don't do it, you will have to supply username/password every 30+ minutes of inactivity. This is by design for public computers.

2) Your browser is set to delete files upon exit.
Either select CorvetteForum as a Favorite and make sure Preserve Favorites Data is selected, or disable the delete files upon exit option. How you do this depends on the browser.

3) You're using 3rd party software that is removing browser files.
Solution: We can't provide support for this due to the amount of different products available and different settings.

4) You're using the log out link.
Solution: Don't use the log out link!

5) You have corrupt browser cookies for CorvetteForum.
Solution: Assuming you have a bad CorvetteForum cookie in your browser, how you delete it depends on the browser being used. There's an easy way of deleting ALL cookies for ALL sites and a more involved method of singly deleting cookies. Again, it depends on the browser being used.
