Automatic logoff

**RacerBill** · 03-12-2008, 08:13 AM

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

**240zdave** · 03-12-2008, 08:18 AM

Yep, it's happened a few times.

**lateapex911** · 03-12-2008, 08:56 AM

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.

**RacerBill** · 03-12-2008, 10:25 AM

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:

Bill
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** · 03-12-2008, 04:31 PM

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

BTW -

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!

**pballance** · 03-12-2008, 04:56 PM

+1 on the occasional problem. I think it is related to the VB stuff and the check box in the user info area. Only see it ocassionally and appears unrelated to cookies and cache files. I have seen it on other boards as well.

Just a quirk i guess

Opps, forgot the other info

Sony Vaio
XP pro
IE7
cable modem at home t-1 at work via corporate network

FWIW I have also seen the issue using satellite internet 768/256, Edge access @ 224 kbps, and 3G 1.5/512 all on the same cpu

Count me as a victim. I started a thread here a while back.

VB is cranky. I always change the default cookie name too. Too many VB sites use the same cookie and if your username and password are different on each site that happens to me all the time. Which is why I try my best to get jamesb for all the vb sites I hit. funny enough it works.

**Greg Amy** · 03-12-2008, 09:15 PM

Anyone with Firefox with the prob? - GA

Hey Bill it's probably Carma for knowing COBOL and running FORTRAN punch card stacks

No auto-log offs here or at work.

You'll get my IBM System 360 Reference Data card when you pry it off my cold, dead keyboard!!!!!!!

Anybody remember the IBM Model 1 keypunch machine?

Back on thread, I cleaned temps, cookies and history this morning before getting onto the forum. We'll see how this works.

All I have to say about that is

(Convey's Game of Life)

Take that!

Back on track. I am not sure which one did it, but I cleared out temps, cookies, and history and I am not having any issues having to log back on. One other thing that I did was check 'remember me'.

Hope this does it, and helps others.
