I used to be able to view the site whenever and remain permanently logged in.
 
Then yesterday, I tried to 'message a member' whilst logged in, only for the system to tell me I needed to be logged in to do it when I went to send the message. Very annoying, as I then lost the message and hadn't taken the precaution to copy the message to the clipboard first, had to login again and rewrite the message. Had this happen in the early days of this website but not for a long while.
 
Also now, whenever I visit the site, I find I am automatically logged out and have to login on again each visit - this never happened to me before that I can remember. Most inconvenient.
 
So what's changed to cause this? And can it be changed back again please, if it's a website problem?
 
Thanks,
ChrisH
 PS.  And it did it to me again as I tried to edit - said I had to login to use that feature.  But if I wasn't logged on how could I have edited the message?

Hi ChrisH,
When you log in tick the "Remember me" box. That should solve your problem.

Hi ChrisH I had almost identical problems a few weeks ago last about ten days then reverted back to normal, this site as allways been problematical as we all know.

This has been happening to me for over a week now.
 
I get on the site, I log in, I tick the "remember me" box.
 
I go to a different site then come back and I'm logged out again.
I have not changed my cookie settings, the site doesn't seem to be sending them any more.
 
very annoying.
this happens with Firefox as well as I.E.

Hi,
 
I too tick the 'Remember Me' box. Everytime I login. It worked in the past, but it is not working now!
 
And for the record I use Safari - my box is a Mac - so that's another browser that's affected.
 
Like you say Roy - Very Annoying.

This 'logging-out' business between site visits and when compiling postings is still going on. Still Very Annoying!
 
Had hoped it would be sorted by now, but I hoped in vain!

Hello Chris.
 
This doesn't happen with me since weeks.
And it rarely happens.
I'm sure it has to do with some sort of momentaneous behaviour of my browser (Firefox 4.0.1) eventually influenced by some other pages.
 
Best regards
Dias Costa

Likewise it happened to me a couple of months ago, but I've had no repeat performance since. I'm using Firefox 3.6, since the upgrade to 4 fell over while downloading, which doesn't exactly give you confidence in the upgrade!
 
Regards,

You are lucky your upgrade failed or you would now be enjoying the !wonders!??? of ver 4.
 
I just uninstalled ver 4 and went back the older version, I might try again when they have it working properly.

I am running Firefox 4.2 and do not have the problem expressed by others above. In fact I have just dumped this site, gone to another and then re searched and returned here, still logged in! What I do have trouble (delays) is with servedbyabutler.com and the various google ad trackers adding to the time delay.
