Thx George. How long should the login on the forum usually last, before having to repeat the proceedure?

The VB session timeout at the forum is currently set to 72 hrs.

I think I have this problem after clearing the browser cache.

I'm having to go to the main site and logout and then come back to the forums to log back in DAILY......

Indeed this happened recently, it's not the browser cache.

The reason for this problem has been adequately explained and my way of getting round it is to always come in via Last Pass which brings me straight in with no problem.

Further to my post above, I still have this problem almost daily (although there are periods when it does not occur). Just lately it has been particularly bad. Although it has been explained why this occurs, I can't be the only person who has this problem regularly and I wonder if new members may be put off by having to work round this time and time again. Surely it is time to look at a more permanent solution to a problem which may be costing us members? This is literally the ONLY site out of the dozens I regularly frequent which has this problem.

I have this problem from time to time but I found a way to fix it

I set the browser to save/protect the cookie on this site, when I got problem of logging in, I manually find the cookies for the site (or just clear it all) and delete it. then problem is fixed when new cookie is made (at least for me)

I don't know why but it seems like just relogging in doesn't overwrite the old cookie so it confuses browser or something when you login again with a new cookie
