log in not 'sticking'

[scathendo]

i keep having to log in for every reply...

i just switched from pc to mac so maybe i have to set something up on my end... i don't know....

hmm never used mac, but when u log in are you checking the keep me logged in check box, or it might be remember me box, i dont pay no attention to them anymore lol...

[scathendo]

yup i've tried that... today it seems to be working better. last night i had to re-login every time i responded... it would say 'welcome' in the corner with my user name and then i'd type my response and hit submit and it would ask me to login :shrug1:

Ya, I'm having this problem also. I don't think its our computers, seems to be the new servers/software, whatever has been done. Before the change, I would stay logged in for days. The time also keeps jumping around, 7 pm to midnight to 8 pm.

interesting... the time jumping could be key.

while looking for some kind of setting to keep my login stable i stumbled into the control panel and found a place to set the time to central (my timezone) ... i have not had the problem in a while but i'm not sure if it coincided with me setting the timezone... maybe the server was jumping back and forth across timezones and kicking me out?!? you might try setting your time zone and see if that stops the login problem

could an admin/mod check this out please?

Are you logging in from multiple computers?

[scathendo]

i happen to be today because i'm stuck at work waiting for a cad model to render..

this is the first time i've logged in on another machine since WCN switched

usually i only log in at home..... i never surf on someone else's dime:)

btw wildcatdan for whatever reason i'm not having the problem anymore...that's why i thought maybe it was the time zone setting.

likely it just needed to store that initial cookie on your new machine. should be ok from here on out.
