Okay, so now I keep getting signed out. One day I had to sign in three times in the same session. I have cleared my cookies from this site and have deleted all of my temporary files on internet explorer.

What else?

Oldbroad,

This may be a dumb question, but when you sign in, do you remember to check the box that says "Keep me signed in"?
(Or something like that.)

Gil.
who's forgotten to do that more than once

I have to sign in a lot also, I do check that box,and cleared my cookies! Twice yesterday I had to sign in.

I went to agree to the fact that I also keep getting signed out when I realised I had been signed out even when I had only just signed in this morning!!

Do you clear your cookies before or after you check the box that says "Keep me signed in"?
It is a cookie that keeps you signed in to Gameboomers.

Gil.

Yes, traveler I do check the box. Not a dumb question, just a reminder type question. I seem to be okay today. Did not have to sign back in. We'll see how it goes.

I also have this problem - at times it makes the board almost unusable.

It started about a week or so ago after having had almost 10 years with no problems. It's so bad with me that most times when I log in OK ("Welcome Urban Worrier"), then click on a link to one of the forums, I find I'm logged out immediately. Also, once logged-in, I can type a reply like this one, click on "submit" and get the message "not allowed to post, please log-in" (or similar).

Have tried clearing cookies, both by "my place", Ccleaner and Internet Explorer / Tools, all to no avail. Nothing has changed on the PC (no MS fixes, no new software installed - it's sooo frustrating

Rog

I'll get the It to check this.

Thanks, MaG!

The IT didn't find anything wrong on the program end.

He states that problems arise as seen on this thread with the usage of anti tracker and anonymizer softwares. They tend to be stingy with cookies - which this program relies on.

I can just reiterate:
- clear cookies
- clear temporary internet files
- add GameBoomers to your "trusted site".

Hmm - as far as I know I'm not using any anti tracker and anonymizer software - I don't even use Internet Explorer's Inprivate Browsing Feature. I'll crank down my cookie settings for a while to let anything in and see what happens.

Also, gameboomers.com is in Ccleaner's "keep these cookies" list - I'll temporarily remove it and force a cookie purge to see if it makes any difference.

Thanks for checking it out MaG.

Have you tried using another browser, Rog? I had the same issue with Internet Explorer. When I switched to Chrome, the problems with sign-in stopped. Perhaps try it as a last resort if nothing else works.

Good thinking, Rushes - will give it a go...

That fixed it, Rushes - thanks. Still have the problem with IE, but Chrome keeps me logged in fine.

Glad that helped, Rog.

Here we go again. Now I keep getting signed out again too. I ran a full anti-virus scan today which cleans all my cookies so I figure that's why I had to sign in when I came on but, after reading one board I was signed out again.

2 more times already that I had to sign back in.

Maybe it is IE.

And Again! It is getting annoying now. Hopefully after shutting my computer down tonight and coming back in tomorrow it will be back to normal.

Try doing what Rog did and use a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

And 2 more times just now.

I will see what happens tomorrow and if this keeps up I will try Firefox.

I use firefox and still find myself logged out. I did add gameboomers to my browser's "leave this cookie alone" list and to the ccleaner exceptions list. Let's see if that makes a difference.

I've been having the same problem for 2 weeks now. I don't know if it started after I updated to IE 11 or before. This is very frustrating. I think there are a bunch of tulips at the top of this forum page and I can barely read if I'm signed in or not. Everthing is overlapping.
I've done all the maintenance regarding ccleaner and adaware and malwarebytes. I stay signed in at all the other sites I go to. This seems to be a problem with a lot of people here lately. MaG could you get your IT guy to have another look ? Thank you.
Cathy

I agree with Cathy1. The design of the page is very bad as you can't read pale blue letters on top the tulips.
There is some randomness in the length of time before one must log in to this site. With the current design, you can't read whether you are logged in or not and can't find the "Log In" link if needed.

Okay. The tulips goes.

Awww! I agree the tulips got in the way, but they sure were pretty.

I agree, Melia...

Unfortunately I missed out on the tulips as this is the first night on the site all week.
However, I have not been having problems staying signed in (knock on wood) and am still in IE.
