Just a guess but could it be to do with your security settings being too high so they don't download cookies from here?
And what URL is your browser pointing at?
(And what browser)
im using http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/
and im using internet explorer

What happens if you do that then type the url for the forums in (don't use your saved favourite/bookmark). If it is Ok that way delete your bookmark and save a new one once logged in.
You don't use Norton do you?
It sounds like it's some security setting or software, somewhere on your system, preventing the cookie from being stored.

Try deleting the browser cache, can cure all manner of problems
Me too. But it doesn't always happen, and has only done so in the last couple of weeks. I think it is elapsed time related - so if I close a TP browser window down, if I don't open it again within 10-15 minutes, I'm logged out. Happens with IE6 and Firefox.

nope , just using windows security setting.
i have it set up to allow all cookies.
i use other forums and they are all saving my passwords ok
whats os are you using and how did you delete the cookies?
OK
Log out of TP, delete cookies for TP then login at http://www.talkphotography.co.uk rather than the /forums sub directory.
May work :shrug:

Open Internet Explorer and click on the "Tools" menu.
In the "Tools" menu, click on "Internet Options".
The Internet Options pop-up window appears.
Under the General Tab select the "Delete Cookies" button.
Delete cookies by clicking "OK".
OK

that didnt work :(
How long *does* it remember your details for? Until you close the browser? 30 mins (with browser closes and reopens etc) etc
Is there a way of viewing the cookies in IE? I never use it so don't really know.
In FF you can view the cookies and my TP cookie expires the 19th Nov 2008
My point is maybe your cookies are expiring within minutes, not really sure how this helps mind you.:thinking:

I would estimate re-starting Firefox (which isn't set to open with the last-used URL) within 15 minutes would still mean I was logged in, and it certainly stands multiple closes and reopens during that sort of period.

i can sign-in,
then go to "quick links"
then "my posts"
and it will prompt me to sign in again.
i just tried it and it took my less than 10 seconds to do so.
and yes i did check the "remember me" box
Hmm. Just started Firefox, after, what 3 hours, and no log-in needed :bonk:
