Signing on/Logging in

Oh, Paul did do a software security patch this week. I had to log back in once, but it has keep me logged in since then. Make sure you check the "remember me" box, and you should be all set.

What version of Firefox are you using?

3.0.16 is my version.
I click on "remember me" every time and it's just not remembering me... LOL I think I am pretty hard to forget, yet this computer has managed to do it!

Okay, go into Firefox, and under the Firefox menu, go to preferences. Then hit the tab for "Privacy" and you will see where you can set how long your machine keeps cookies for. "Accept cookies" should be checked, and then change the drop-down to "until they expire" - I am guessing it is set to "I close Firefox" at the moment.

That is the option that is selected already. I don't know why it's doing this, then.
Thanks for the help!

Karen, you don't have to close Firefox for it to happen. If you just don't click on Pet Talk for a few minutes or so, it resets and you have to relog in. Although clicking the remember me button has helped me some. I never used to have to do that though. I could be here for days or weeks, even rebooting the computer, and never relog in. Perhaps that was addressed in the security patch you mentioned Paul installing.

I had the same thing happen with Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox (not sure of version.) I'm glad I remembered my password!

At least it's the same problem as Moesha has. weird stuff.

It must have to do with the security patch we installed for vBulletin. Have you tried updating your Firefox lately?

[Scooter's Mom]

Trying that now. Hope it works!
