Staying logged in.

toolcrazy · Dec 25, 2009

Is anyone having problems staying logged into the IAP? Here lately after a while I get logged out. I am not having that problem with any other sites, only this one.

ldb2000 · Dec 25, 2009

Yes I am , it just started tonight .

Glass Scratcher · Dec 25, 2009

It did this Wed, stopped earlier Thurs, then started again. So yep I am having a problem too.

Douglas Feehan · Dec 25, 2009

I seem to be having the same problem

jeff · Dec 25, 2009

The "staying logged on" function happens on your computer not the servers, so it could be several things on your end. Cookies do expire, and that can happen from time to time, and your cache can need a flush occasionally too.

My standard suggestion is to log off, then log back on making sure to check the "remember me" box. If that doesn't help, then clear your cache and try it again.

BRobbins629 · Dec 25, 2009

Its weird that this happened to so many people at the same time. I just cleared my cookies and now it works fine.

TellicoTurning · Dec 25, 2009

I haven't had it happen for a while... I was having a problem, contacted Jeff and followed his suggestions, but I have Firefox set to delete cookies every time I exit so should never have been a problem... most often happens with me when I do a long post and it takes a while to set it up... sometimes will have to log in to post ... sometimes will lose the post when I log in again... it spares you guys a lot of my long winded posts I guess 'cause I rarely go back and retype a lost post. :biggrin::biggrin:

Steve, I posted about this yesterday, it's been doing it to me for the past 3 days.

jleiwig · Dec 25, 2009

I get a message when I try to post that says the token has expired. It does it anytime I do anything other than quick reply.

gketell · Dec 25, 2009

Yah, that is a feature of the forum. I'm on two sites that use the same forum software and they both have the same problem. It says to do a "refresh" but that doesn't work. Just click on a different forum link then click onto the forum you want (don't use the "back button") and then everything works.

I've been having the same "can't login" issue for the past two days too. I wonder what changed? Oh well, I'll try clearing my cache and see if the problem goes away.

I found that if you check the stay logged in box then the problem stops. AT least it did for me

cdbakkum · Dec 25, 2009

same problem, Carl

GaryMadore · Dec 25, 2009

I am using Vista64 and Norton Internet Security 2009. Since I got this new machine I don't stay logged in for long on any forums.

I dunno if it's Vista64 or the new Norton, but I didn't have this problem with Vista32/Norton2007.

Argh!

I don't think it is Vista 64, because that is what I have.

I did flush my cookies and logged back in, and it has been fine ever since.

I'll try that, thanks.

I suspect that perhaps Norton is being a bit zealous when it comes to deleting cookies... Maybe I'll have to try to figure out how to tell it to leave the IAP cookies alone....

PTownSubbie · Dec 25, 2009

I thought it was something to do with my computer but I see that I am not the only one that has the staying logged in problem. Weird that we all experienced this at the same time..... Other forums keep me logged in just fine.

It started Tuesday. At least that was the first day I noticed it. I also click the "stay logged in" button and I don't......

Anyone figure out how to fix it?

Lenny · Dec 25, 2009

Also happening here (Vista, AVG)
checking the keep me logged in box doesn't help.

JimMc7 · Dec 26, 2009

I had to login in earlier this week for only the 2nd time that I recall since I joined in May. No recurrence since but did happen this once when I didn't explicitly logout. No big deal -- just adding more data.

DurocShark · Dec 26, 2009

It was doing it to me then stopped this morning. OSX 10.6, Firefox.

gketell · Dec 26, 2009

OK, I deleted all my IAP cookies (around 20 of them... OMG) and the logout problem is gone!

Yay!

jeff · Dec 26, 2009

Intentionally logging off the forum _should_ delete all site cookies. If it did not, then manually doing so should fix the problem.

Sorry many of you are having problems. I wonder if Norton pushed out a patch or something that affected large numbers of you. I don't use Norton so I can't test it.

DurocShark · Dec 26, 2009

I don't use Norton either. I'm a Sophos fan both on my macs and my PCs.

I visit a few other vB forums (Anandtech most famously) and they didn't do this.

It's all good now, so ... :shrug:

gketell · Dec 26, 2009

I don't have Norton on my machine. And I'm on a mac so it isn't a windows issue.

gmanblue · Dec 26, 2009

It started last night on me have vista

MesquiteMan · Dec 26, 2009

Never had a problem on my end. Running XP, IE8, and NOD32 antivirus.

hewunch · Dec 26, 2009

I can't stay logged in on my PC, phone or ipod touch. Each uses a different browser.

PTownSubbie · Dec 26, 2009

Deleted all my cookies, waited a few days and still I can't stay logged in.....

Just a PITA to have to login every time.

Any other suggestions?

Windows Vista, Symantec Endpoint Edition, IE 8

There has to be a common thread somewhere......

Staying logged in.
