Repeated requests to logon

[Bucky4]

Every time I respond to a post, I am directed to the login screen and must go through the logon process. (even after logging in at the start.) I've tried numerous computers with the same annoying results, so I'm guessing it must be something with my account. Any help out there??????

I doubt it's your TBN account.

What determines if you're logged in is a browser cookie. Do you have software installed on all these computers that prevents the creation of cookies, such as a IE security setting?

 

[Bucky4]

Nope. This is the only site giving me problems.

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I haven't been logged in for quite some time (>6 months) and just recently started again.

I don't know what to tell you. The cookie is what determines whether you are logged in or not. The fact you are being asked to login again tells me something in your browser is deleting the cookie. The time since your last login wouldn't affect this. What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser?

 

[Bucky4]

Internet Explorer v 6.0 in all cases. Never tried another browser.

I've tested it on...
two XP machines at home and
four XP Pro machines at work.

This is the only site that I've encountered thus far giving me fits. Thought maybe it was the TBN site.

The only thing I can think to try is to delete cookies and restart the browser.

Thanks Mike for your help. It doesn't make sense to me why it's acting the way it is.

When I have trouble with logins, I do this:

Log in as normal.
Log out with the Log Out button.
Clear your cookies and cache.
Restart the browser.
Come back to TBN, log back in and see what happens.

Okie dokie, I'll give that a try.

As suggested, I logged off, cleared the cookies/cache/etc/etc, closed the browser. Reopened TBN, went to the forums page, logged on and began typing this message in this thread. I'm now going to click "Submit Reply" and..........................
