Is anyone else having to log back in all the time? I have never had this issue before and it started doing it yesterday. Did I screw up my settings?

The site will time out if you sit idle for a certain period of time

I do have it checked.....my fav. part about bfc has always been that as soon as I cliked the web address it opened with me signed in. this has to be something i did wrong, i just figure out what. i messed around with my profile last night for awhile. must have screwed it up then.

Well if you're 100% certain it is checked then it's likely a cookie issue on the browser as that's how it remembers.

Sometimes just closing the browser, clearing your cookies and repotting in will do it.

But it seems to be working generally for most everyone.

You might have changed your history setting on windows, you can set it where it will erase the cookies as soon as you leave any site.

Just remember, it's all about cookies and time. In fact when you use the new refresh, it keeps you logged in better if your cookies are messed up. Why? Because you are reloading Allot.

Most people find that the remember me button wasn't checked when they thought it was. Beyond that it's usually a cookie that won't reset.

But that's all there is to the login.... Cookies & Time.

Ok, there ya go.

there are two links in the nav now.

New Posts - works just like it always did. Its copied from the backup I made before I made the change.

Right next to it is "Auto Refresh" - which uses the refresh system.

If you think its causing you some issue, then you wont need to click it. Just use the What's New.

Choice is good.

FWIW, this is running now on 4 forums since last night. Havent had any reports of logging out except from here. I still have my money on a cookie issue but since I cant be sure , the choice is there
