Log ins rely on a Cookie, if your browser deletes Cookies when you close it then the log in will be lost, which browser do you use?

If I recall correctly … there was previous discussion about this; and we were informed that ‘contention’ might result in one being logged-out.

[ i.e. if there are too many users logged-in, then the inactive ones get logged-out ]

It's almost certain to do with Cookies being deleted with browsing history or whatever. Firefox for e.g. has a setting to remove all cookies on closing except ones you you choose to keep permanently such as log ins

If you say so, Vic … but my iPad is not set that way, and it happens to me.

Every time that I clean the computer, and delete browsing history, EVERYTHING forgets me!

Mind you, often, i have difficulty remembering what I've done.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our readers

If you 'try' a different browser even on the same device that might be what's causing it.

It’s strange as this behaviour only seems to effect this website.

What's so strange - it's part of the website setup.

I would strongly recommend that people read (really) the thread that Michael pointed to.
