Remain logged into forum

Anonymous — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 21:05:47 GMT

I was wondering if perhaps I've overlooked some setting, but I'm getting fed up with having to log back into the forum after a very short space of time.

I was wondering if anyhone knows a workaround or some setting that perhaps I might have missed that would allow me to remain logged in.

Thanks in advance

The issue has been raised before and it is a pain keep logging in.

Some of us ese Firefox with the add on ReloadEvery which you can set to refresh the page every 10 mins or so. You can then stay logged in if you wish.

Refresh Monkey does a similar job on Chrome and you can customise the settings on both.

Irritating isn't it, the problem is you're also logged into the main site which I believe always times out?

I think I preferred separate log ins.

ReloadEvery is handy, but I still get logged out a couple of times a day.

Thanks everyone for the help its much appreciated.

My browser of choice now is Chrome, so I'll give Refresh Monkey a go. Thanks again.

Just out of interest, if anybody wants to do further tweaks in Firefox type about:config in to the address bar. Also about:mozilla does some other stuff.

With care of course.

Of course, this disclaimer sounds more daunting than it actually is. Although be careful.

I must admit I also find this a pain but I use Norton identity safe which stores all the passwords for my sites so at least I don't have to remember them all and keep typing them in

Does it work with the O2 sites?

If it help anyone:
The following will allow Firefox to remember the forum password.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/remember-passwords/

Note: it also allows FF to remember bank passwords -- be careful with this.

I think I'll stick with LastPass for now, it's just that the O2 site and forum are the only places it doesn't work for me.

It may have some setting I haven't found yet but it works well and I have about 40 passwords all under one log in.

Ha just poked around in the settings and found: Respect Auto-complete=off.

Works perfectly now!
