Mr Potato Head

Why is the site no longer automatically logging me in?
I keep having to relog in everytime I enter site, even though I tick the log me in automatically button.

Not a big deal just annoying.

Have you ever used a different computer but with the same login? I come to the forum from work and from home, so it won't automatically log me in (probably 'cookies' and all that).

I've got the same problem - usually it recognises me at work, but not always,and it never recognises me from home.

Yes your browsers' 'cookie' / security settings - or your firewall or other privacy software can also block login information if set to do so. Useful for a 'net cafe for a PC many people use, but can be annoying if it's your own PC doing it!

Check your Security settings - or try clearing your cookie information, close the browser and try again.

I login from home and from work and very rarely have a problem at all. Both computers log me in 99.9% of the time. What happens on the other 1% I don't know but it's as rare as hens teeth that I have a problem and I have massive firewalls on both computers.

It seems to have sorted itself out as it logged me on this morning. I don't use other computers, barely away from this one, so it must have just been a temporary glitch.

Cheers for the help.
