Why do I have to log in a couple of times a day?

Why do I have to log in a couple of times a day? Ever since you changed the look here I can't seem to automatically log in when I come back. I have cleared all myt cookies and clicked the little "remember me" box, but I still have to log in almost every time I come back here.
It's only a very slight inconvenience, and not a big deal, but I thought I'd ask if you think it's a problem on my end, and what if anything I could do.

have you tried logging in via the front page?

berks · 12-17-2004, 01:23 PM

what i do is log into the forum section and once i am logged in I bookmark the page and then when i click on the bookmark i am already logged in. of course i use Firefox.

vernarial · 12-17-2004, 10:48 PM

Nope greffov. I haven't. That would make sense, and I can't be doing that now can I.

**greffov** · 12-18-2004, 03:59 AM

I don't see a reason why it would be like this, but it's worth a try I think

vernarial · 12-18-2004, 12:12 PM

I tried. I couldn't even really log out on the front page, but when I was logged in on the front page and then went to the forums, I would be logged out. Hmmm. Oh well. It's really not that big a deal.

**greffov** · 12-18-2004, 05:24 PM

uhm... are you able to remove all of your PCTT cookies? thats pctechtalk.com and .pctechtalk.com cookies. Basically "*pctechtalk*" cookies. Make sure you're logged out on the front page and the forums, then try to login on the front page.

Ok, you said you cleared all of your cookies. What browser do you exploit eh... use?

I also log in through the front page, and had cleared all my cookies, and it happens to me a few times a day also.

I login from the Forums..there used to be a problem with the Front page Cookie before...
so try it from the Forum & save that Cookie.....I don't have any problems with this on AOL, IE, or Firefox.

vernarial · 12-18-2004, 10:30 PM

Cool I also use Firefox, and I'll try your suggestions.

**greffov** · 12-19-2004, 06:33 AM

ewwww... I didn't know there were so much problems with this!

the hunter · 12-19-2004, 06:58 AM

Its not a big deal to me, it just that it only happens here, and i thought you would want to know.

**greffov** · 12-19-2004, 08:08 AM

it's one of those weird things that do happen to others, but don't happen to me, just like the vertical scrollbar.
