MacForums keeps logging me out.

[Rod]

Just recently (in the last two days) I have lost two replies I wrote because the site timed me out. I have just changed browsers from Chrome to Opera but I cant see how that would matter (correct me if I'm wrong). It was never a problem in the past but who knows. It means I now have to copy my posts/replies to the clipboard just in case I have to log in again.

Sorry, I think I may have found the answer. Had to log out first then tick the "Remember Me" box when logging in.
It's been so long since I did that I forgot there was such a button. I was looking for a "Keep me logged in" button instead. Could someone confirm if this was the issue.
And please excuse me if I posted in the wrong forum.

That sounds like it. I usually tick that on all my forums so I wont get kicked off (although one in particular pretty much ignores the setting)[coughBikeForumscough].

 

[Rod]

Thanks for that confirmation. I guess I just hadn't logged out for so long I forgot where the button was. One good reason for changing browsers occasionally I guess.
Thanks for the feedback crandom.

crandom huh?
Re, your sig... it's not the permalink for rep, it's the icon just right of it.

Clear History does it for me Rod and then I have to remember the little tick box!

Oops sorry, I'm not good with names I'm more of a numbers person. Didn't understand the reference to permalink. Anyway login seems to stay on now. Hotlinks from email take me to the forum already signed in.

Didn't understand the reference to permalink.

Referencing your signature.
To give someone reputation you don't use the permalink, you use the icon button (blue arrow).
For some reason I can only attach one pic? Odd.

Um, now I'm really confused. My page doesn't have that at all. Mine looks like this:

 

[Rod]

Hm, odd, I logged out then back in and now I have this;
I swear it was never like that before. Maybe I should go back to Chrome or learn a little more about Ghostery?

 

[cradom]

You must be using a different skin. I'm using "MF-Test-4-18-13"

 

[Rod]

I think I have it now!

 

[Rod]

Hmm, obviously not.
Back to the drawing board, funny how the little things throw you. I was just trying to put a pic of the Add To Rep button in my signature but must be getting tired. Will fix tomorrow.
Thanks everyone.
