I keep getting logged out?

Folks,
I keep on getting logged out of dgrin.com if I don't stay active enough. For example, I log in, browse, read the local paper for 15 minutes or so, come back to dgrin.com, and find I am logged out. How do I fix this? I would like to stay logged in until I logout. Makes sense? :dunno

This also happens (the logging out) in advrider.com, but NOT in facebook or Yahoo; I am logged in to those sites all day. A search yielded nada. :scratch

Macbook Leopard 10.5.2 browsing in Firefox 2.0.0.12. All Cookies are enabled, no exceptions.

Many thanks as always, :bow

    I have been automatically logged out several times in the past, sometimes for a week or so....and yes that box was ticked. I needed to log in every time.

    I haven't had that problem on Dgrin or Smugmug, but it has happened to me on other sites from time to time. It can usually be fixed by logging out of the site, clearing all of the site's cookies, then logging in again.

    Cheers,

    Me too. I just wrote a pretty long entry and got the "you've been logged/timed off" prompt. I tried to log back in, but somehow my entry didn't make it through the log in process...and when I tried to go back using the browser to find my entry, it was gone. Frustrating!

    Well, I followed Richard's advice in logging out, deleting all the cookies, and logging back in.

    I've also checked off the "remember me" option at log in. I'm hoping that'll fix the problem...will wait and see.

    Try loading the dgrin home page. Then hold down your shift key while you hit the refresh button.

    This essentially does the same thing Richard said. But without the hassle thumb.gif It never hurts to be a bit redundant in these things.

    Ahh, nice. Thanks! And by the way, I only have IE6 here at work, no Firefox. Bummer...

    When it happened to me i went over everything several times & made sure cookies etc were turned on.

    It can do it at random.
