Automatic logoff

[RacerBill]

Anyone else have an issue with the forum logging you off automatically, even when you are reading posts?

Yep, it's happened a few times.

Mine is active for days. I run Firefox, and leave the computer on for days, logged in , using multiple tabs. Weather radar on one tab, IT.com on another, etc. No problems ever.

I do the same thing. I have 4 tabs open 24/7 and have had no issues.

Just happened again. I did not close my browser (much less anything else), and I had to logon to the IT Forum again in order to post this reply. I don't think it has anything to do with the computer, OS, or browser, but within the Forum.

NEVER had a problem. IE or Firefox.

Added a poll. If you have had a problem, please reply with your:

- PC type
- O/S details
- Browser details
- Internet access details

You are not alone, I too have had the same problem.
It happened when I made my first reply to this post.
I figure that it was the moderator(s) /webmaster keeping me from long winded, rambling posts about stuff that I think is important but means nothing to the rest of the group.

Greg,
Since I am not the most computer savvy person you may want to PM me with specific questions.
I use Internet Explorer.

IE has issues, it depends on your cookie settings. Sometimes its best to just delete all of your cookies and start over. I have had that issue before.

[RacerBill]

OK, deleted cookies, temp files, & history. We'll see what happens.

BTW -

IBM T60
Windows XP Office
browser - IE 7
internet connection - local 100Mb ethernet, Enterprise connected

OK, when I tried to take the poll, I was prompted to sign back on, and when I did, I got a message that I could not logon because I was not logged on! Youse guys are pullin my leg!!!!! :-)

Sometimes I really hate technology (that's why I race a 25 year old car!!!!), and I have a degree in Computer Technology and been in the industry 40 years!
