login question
« on: October 15, 2016, 10:35:19 AM »
I recently had to reload my browser, Mozilla Firefox.

Now, I have to re-login to Ballreviews once or twice a day or more. I didn't used to have to do that. There's some other "switch" I have to throw in Firefox or Internet Explorer to insure I stay logged in.

Yes, I select "Keep me logged in forever" when I do log in; that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks.

Does your browser not keep cookies? Without cookies you will have to enter your username and password every time you visit the site (to post stuff).

--------------------------------------------------------
I don't use Firefox but on all my browsers the first time I go to "Ball Reviews" and type in my user name and password, they ask if I want to save this information.  I click yes and from then on I only have to click the "log in" button and I'm in.  As long as I stay in that particular browser, I'm logged in and don't have to do anything.  If I leave, then I have to log in again in what ever browser I go to but it only takes one click because when I pull up "Ball reviews" it automatically populates the needed information ( user name and password).  Also I have a quick link to the site (and others) in my bookmarks bar in all my browsers.

By the way, I started using Epic Privacy Browser instead of Google Chrome or IE.  It seems to be faster and does not track you.  Also, it does not leave hardly any temporary internet files.  I've had a lot of problems with Firefox on my desktop so I sometimes use Waterfox which is almost the same thing but works better for me.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, but saving the login and password just fills in those fields when you need to login again. It doesn't save you from getting logged out.

It turned out that when I cleared my History, which I do regularly, I wasn't watching all the fields, hit "CLEAR NOW" too quickly, and one of the check marked boxes was "remove all active logins". I have since unchecked that box; so that function just clears my history and the cache memory. I found that when I was checking out the cookies, mr. wizerd.

Thanks for the replies.
