All day today I have had to enter my user name and password and log in every time I check in here and I have the little box checked to stay logged in.

Anybody else having that problem?

Not me. I did run into that problem in the past, though.

Is it possible that you're using some version of "private mode" in your browser?
 
Every time I access the site from my desktop computer is has me logged out. It has been happening for the past few months. Probably a cookie issue I'm sure. Don't really care enough to look much into it though.

You can try to clear your cookies out and see what happens then. You might lose other information from other sites however.

Not that I'm aware of. I haven't changed any settings lately.

It logs me in on an error message but I can navigate from there to the regular board and everything otherwise seems to be working normally. Maybe I ticked off a mod and got put on miserable user status or something? :)

Yeah I hate to clear cookies for that reason because then I have to enter my user name and password EVERYWHERE I go. Right now I'm not having any issues except here at DP.

Not me. Never do. I use the safari browser on my IPad. Has anyone changed settings on your computer so your cache is always being cleared? Have the problem on any other sign-in website? Tried rebooting? Sledgehammer?

I have had a weird anomaly for some time now. Tried to make a thread hoping staff would help to clear it up....I got nothing.

Every time I open DP in a browser, it doesn't matter which machine at home I'm using, it appears as though I have been logged out. But if I click on anything (usually "new posts"), I am actually still logged in. :shrug:

The other possibility is that you're using the old URL. Since the guys installed the SSL certificate you should be using "https://debate...." instead of "http://debate..."

Hmmm. I haven't tried that. It is only mildly annoying putting in the user name and PW because I have my browser set to auto fill, but maybe it just looks like I'm logged out? I'll try that next time. Thanks.

Nope, it's showing as https in my URL buffer. But then again. . .I'll double check next time I log in to see if that is the problem. I have not had the problem before today.

If you have a teen in the house, I'd look into a privacy setting. Ask him/ her. Helpful to know if it's happening only on DP though.

I've tried everything but the sledge hammer, Maggie, and no I am not having the problem on any other site. :)

No. No kids left at home. Nobody uses my computer but me.
 
Make sure you're checking "Remember Me" when logging in. I got logged out last week for some reason and since I checked "Remember Me" at the top if the page, I've remained logged in.

Yes, I have checked that little box every time I've logged in all day. Doesn't seem to have any effect.
 
Okay I just left and came back. User name and password buffers empty as it has been all day. I am logging in to https. . .

But I tried CountryBoys suggestion and instead of re-entering my user name and PW, I just clicked on 'new posts' and voila, I was indeed logged in.

Strange.

Greetings, AlbqOwl. :2wave:

Thanks for the tip! :thumbs: That's been happening to me lately too. :shock: I assumed it was just my computer acting ornery again!
 
I've had slow response issues all the way to site taking to long to answer (or message to that effect) all day, finally cutting the connection. By all day I mean frequently thruout the day.

Didn't log me out though as I found when re-trying (yeah, remember me box remained ticked).

At first I thought it's my provider but all other sites were fast.

Maybe it's a glitch that hasn't sufficiently surfaced to be identified as such and maybe it logs some of us out. And the problem (mine) has not been recurring for hours now.
 
Just tried again and it still shows I am logged out but I am not logged out. I can navigate the site normally. Strange but oh well. Until enough have the problem I'll live with mine.

Thanks everybody. Appreciate the help.

Let me guess.. you are clicking on a favourite to get to the site?

They stealth changed this site!!!... from HTTP to HTTPS

So delete the favourite/bookmark, go to the site, login and create a new favourite/bookmark and then it should work.

No. I access through an Icon on my desktop. And the problem did not exist until yesterday.
 
PeteEU said:
So this icon goes directly to this webpage?

If so, then it is still the same problem, just in another form. If you right click the icon, and go to web document and where it says url .. it most likely says http://www.debatepolitics.com.. it should say httpS://www.debatepolitics.com
Click to expand...

nope the URL says https. It shows that I am not logged in on the home page but I actually am. And as soon as I navigate somewhere like clicking on 'new posts' or on the big Debate Politics logo, I navigate normally and then it shows I am logged in. Very strange.
