    Hi I love major geeks and well the interface is somewhat kaki and there is a lot of info to take in on most screens, One annoying thing is that I just logged in went to make a post (about 10 seconds later) and was told I needed to login again...good gosh...c'mon.

    Is there a setting in user preferences or other area that enables one to stay in longer than a possible admin predefined / assigned login period...?

    Cheers:wave

    Hi

    Are you checking the box that says 'Remember Me'?

    Hey there Laura R,

    I probably should, it would probably resolve this. Although I never ever use these stay logged in on any forum on sites anywhere and always log / sign out of emails etc...dont trust / risk leaving accounts open and never use the remember me options.

    Thought it might have been a users profile setting.
    Perhaps an option where one could leave themselves logged for a default time, a set period of time maybe an hour or under perhaps and this would load with the user profile when they first log-in...perhaps wishful thinking.

    Appreciate a site as busy as this needs to get rid / log off dead connections but 10 seconds later...log in again...gosh.

    Hey but thanks for the input Lauar R appreciate the reply;):wave

    No prob ;)

    The 'Remember Me' would definitely (or should) cure your problem. If you use it, you can always Log Out before exiting Major Geeks.

    Btw, there isn't a default log out. It's a function of your computer (or possibly your ISP), not the site. You should be able to stay logged on until you leave the Major Geeks site.

    A cause of your problem could possibly be your cookie settings. You may also want to run Ccleaner and see if it helps to get rid of temp files and old session cookies.


    (just to test this, I logged out of MGs, ran ccleaner, logged back on without checking the 'remember me' box (I'm always logged on LOL) and have been searching around the forums for a while now before posting this)
