Log In Dropping Out.
G'day Gents,
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and ever since my log in to this site and another one 'Powered by vBulletin®' keep dropping out. I have to re-log on every time I visit this site to post replies and the other to gain access.
Any suggestions to overcome this problem?
Regards,
BH.

don't think it's a W7 issue, I've had that happen a few times recently with both XP and W7. In both cases I've been using the latest incarnation of Firefox, but I actually THINK the problem could be with the forum itself

SD,
The problem I've had is totally random, all is good for days and then suddenly I get logged off when replying to a post. I cleared out cookies and it still happened. It's probably just been a sudden glitch somewhere, but my main reason for posting was to point out to Bullethead that Win7 is NOT the issue.

G'day HB & SD,
As with you HB the problem is erratic, sometimes the logon will be stable for days and at other times will dropout when a new tab is opened.
I use plenty of other sites with an auto logon facility and they are all stable the only problems are arising with bulletin boards 'Powered by vBulletin®"
Thanks for the input guys,
BH.

Hi
i have just got a new laptop (Toshiba with Windows 7) and most of the time I cannot log in. I use my name password and then complete the verification. It thanks me by name but when I am forwarded to the forums I find I am not logged in.
A couple of times I have got in by not waiting to be forwarded but by clicking the link and forcing it. Even this does not work more than 20% of the time.
I have tried deleting all cookies and temporary internet files but this does not seem to have any effect. I have not yet found how to view a list of individual cookies in w7 so I have not been able to confirm that all the cookies are actually being deleted.
any ideas would be welcome
cheers MrM

I normally stay logged in all the time on my computers. Last week, I received the usual welcome message directed to those unlogged in and was invited to register. I entered my log in name and password and was then asked to decipher the usual jumble of characters. I did so and was advised that I had incorrectly recognised the displayed characters. I thus requested (as instructed) another set. On doing so the initial page of the board appeared indicating that I was logged in and I have remained so ever since. There is indeed something dodgey going on!
P.P.

I had the same problem a few months ago when I set up a 'new' XP computer as the primary one for internet work (it's since crashed and had to be rebuilt but that's another story 
).
Eventually I traced it to a setting in my security suite (CA) which was (apparently) default programmed to remove cookies immediately upon use (it's well disguised under the Privacy settings). I removed the tick from the box and the problem disappeared.
It may be that a similar program which is 'tidying up as it goes' is responsible in these cases also.
