Because I read the site, maybe several times a day, I never log off (bad security maybe!). I find that at times I need to log on several times a day and then I will go several months without having to log on at all! This has been going on for years. I don't think any of the explanations cover this observation!

Andrew.

My experience exactly.

Funny thing I have recently re-formatted my hard drive and installed a clean copy of windows 10, since doing so the two problems I had with this formum namely spell checker (sometimes) and the cursor not dropping down after the 'enter' key was pressed have both gone away smiley

The conditions to log a user out must be defined in the program that is this website so it should be possible for the support team to explain the rules.

Mike

They have. It's been explained before, but again,

1 it uses cookies

2 it's time limited

3 you can only be logged in on one device

4 the server has a finite number of connections, if it runs out an incative user gets logged out to let someone else on.

Neil,

As said before by me I'm logged on permanently, at night I turn my computer off and the next day I turn the laptop on again and I'm still logged in so certainly not time limited. The only time I have to log back in is when I clear my history which also clears my log ins.

That’s pretty logical and as traffic seems to vary during the day and even day to day it can explain the random factor, as long as my fingerprints don’t change logging back in is no problem.

That's because we fixed these issues.

I didn't make an announcement as there's always someone who will pipe up 'not here' who then turns out to be using Netscape Navigator under Windows Millennium Edition...

I credited Apple with the cursor fix as it seemed to coincide with one of their IOS updates, happy it works now anyway.
