Getting Tired of Logging In

It wants me to log in on page one.When I go to page two I’m loged in ?

Just started happening to me 2 days ago. Between the kids on dads computer and the chronic argue people this is starting to resemble the old Hot Spot Outdoors, remember them? I still get good info here though between the 6th grade slam book posts.

Could just be every time you clean or dump your cookies, you will lose your log in. Also, virus programs such as Mcafee and similar, when they do a cleanup, you will lose that also. Doesn’t matter that you check the box to stay logged in. There is a way around it as there is a setting in your browser that you can enter sites that you frequent so that their cookies will not be dumped on a cleanup. After you do that, you will need to log in again to your favorite sites, and click stay logged in again, then after that you will always be logged in. You may need to do that in your virus program also.
I have stayed logged in to my favorite sites ever since I put these exceptions in the browser settings.

Oh, and I thought I was alone in this dilemma.

Just happened again. I was here earlier this morning then on this login I had to start over. Something is wrong.

Yes, something isn’t quite right. I think part of the problem was my understanding of what excluded cookies actually do for cache. I expected page cache to be bypassed when various cookies are present in the request but that is not the case.

I have 3 ideas on how to fix this. One of them will work for sure but is a bit hacky, I think. I’ll be digging into things later tonight.

Works fine for me.

Mine still works fine also.

Worked fine today.

same here

This is happening to too many people all of a sudden not to be something with the site.

Just happened again.

It happens to me about every 3rd day.

This is getting pretty old. I need to log back in every day. Then it won’t recognize my password so I reset it. I’ve had to that several times in the last couple weeks. No other site I frequent is having this issue so i don’t think it’s me or my computer.

If you want the website administrator to help find out what is going wrong you will need to give them some clues. Using a computer or phone ? What browser are you using ( Chrome, Firefox. Safari or Edge ) What’s your operating system on your phone or computer? If you are set to do automatic updates it might have been caused by the last update and you need to roll it back for now or you need to do an update to make the browser work correctly.

I log onto here 3 or 4 times a day with no problems using Windows 10 on a computer and using Chrome as my browser.

When I use the remember me option all authentication cookies, including the _lscache_vary cookie used to bypass page caching, are set with an expiration of 1 year. Here’s a screenshot of my cookies in Firefox after using the remember me option.

its been happening to me lately also

I am working on storing the ido_remember_me cookie value in the browser’s local storage and using it when a cached, non logged in page is served up. This isn’t as simple as cookies but the benefit of local storage is that it doesn’t expire. I should have this implemented before the weekend is over.

For the time being, you may want to logout, clear cookies and login with the remember option checked. These cookies should last a year unless otherwise manipulated by your browser, extensions or other software installed on the client side.

Cookies never last a year around our house

I never stay logged in. I log in every time I access the site. Logged in with the first try today.

I have to re log in every time but it saves my name and password. Takes 2 seconds. Hats off the Mr Dave. I could never figure out a website lol

I’ve been kicked off several times and my post count dropped in half. Not a big deal, but definitely a hiccup.

Out of curiosity, what does the number next to my avatar stand for?
FYI – It was at 13 for the past couple of years and then jumped to 15 about a month ago

on a serious note…..thats where or how i get PM’s through IDO!!!!!!!

seems to be getting worse……………….

I logged in fine twice today.

Again today for me too

I seemed to have not been affected more than a couple times prior to this week, but now it’s happening often. Have hit “remember me” every time I log in(prior to entering username/pass) and it keeps me logged in maybe 40-50% of the time.
