Login time

I do find on this site that unless you are actively on the site I get automatically logged out after a very short period of inactivity, i.e. if I hide the site and do something else on the computer I find that if I go back to it after ten or fifteen minuites I have to login again. It does get a bit tedious to have to keep doing that. Is there any particular reason for this?

 

Thought it was just my pc playing up, I had noticed I was getting disconnected from the site rather quickly too

"It does get a bit tedious to have to keep doing that. Is there any particular reason for this?"

I expect you are allocated a Session, and that is probably 10 or 15 minutes, or so.

If you remain inactive for that long your session will terminate.

This is handy in Public Libraries, and the like, in case you wander away from a public PC without logging off / closing the browser.

I remain permanently logged on, and I presume that is because I ticked some "Keep me logged in" box somewhere - probably on the login screen?

 

I can't see anything like that, just had a look

 

Hiya,

Teah it trips you out, tick the remember me box and when you return click new posts or whatever function you want and it will automatically log you iback in.

 

Mornin' Marley,

I will have to have a chat with you some time about this new famgled computer widget stuff. Thick as a brick with this stuff me!

 

Hi Chuck,

I might have all those things but I`m ******ed if I know!


There are things I like to do weekly but clearing out my cookies as yet is beyond me.


I have been known to sit in front of the screen for lengths of time waiting for pages to load etc and I have a pop up blocker on! DOH!

 

"clear all your cookies"

Beware that will also clear out all your remembered logins, and "preferences" at many sites.

I do it the other way about, which is a bit more tedious, but getting the browser to ask me if it can store a cookie, and I also use techie-tools to prevent storage of information about my browsing habits.

So I can "always allow" cookies from G.C., and "always deny" cookies from Trade Doubler and any dubious outfits.

 

this should help
in windows run disk clean up.
to find :if you click on start(bottom left) then hover over all programs and then find system tools
a picky is easier to understand so i did this just for you
#

once you find the disk clean up you should be looking at a screen like this

now all you need to do is click on the relivent boxes put a green X (sorry i could not find a tick) in the box you require. and finaly click ok

wolla jobs a goodun:thumb:

 

Hi Marley,

You do of course realise that just turned my head into mushy peas!!


But i will now try-if you never hear from me again, well...........lucky little sausage!!

 

I use CCleaner to clear my cookies.

Easy to download this free programme and it seems
quite effective and it really speeds up your computer.
I just click on it perhaps once a day - depends on how
much time you spend on your computer - and it only
takes a minute or so to clear the cookies.

Anybody else use it?
