I have been a member of this forum for umpteen years, and still am annoyed that I have to "log in" every few months. Is there a problem here?
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
Do you ever clear out you browsers history? I recently did and found I had to log back in at several sites including this one.
It's to keep us all cranky.
It was a lot worse about a year ago, like every Monday.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
I have hadto do it every so often, usually when the laptop has shut down when i forgot to plug it in. As Tony say's, i don't think its the site.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I do if I've checked the site from a different computer or if my computer's done an update.
do you clean out your computer cookies as that is where your login info is stored?
There are other threads about this in the Feedback/Help & Testing forum, such as this one:

That one discussed having to log in every time we access the forum, as GM noted, it was about a year ago. Then there are these related threads in the General Discussion forum:

But as far as the baseline behavior goes, it has nothing to do with subscriptions, but rather, general security. I think our authentications expire after an interval of two days. I know I can return to the forum two days in a row, have my credentials default and not have to submit them again. On the third day, I'm presented with the login.

ddp59: No, I never delete my cookies for reasons like this.
Baron: I usually stay logged in for months at a time, then all of a sudden I have to long in again. Not a problem, really, just an annoyance occasionally.
Thanks to all for your comments!
I've been having the same issue. I have to log in pretty much everytime I visit the forum even though I check the leave me logged in box.

What's your browser and platform/device and operating system? It might not be pertinent, but I know that when IE 11 rolled out, I had problems I did not have before, with the various websites I visit, FineScale among them. I'd access a site and get logged in, either with stored credentials or interactively logging them. After a couple of pages, I'd get prompted to log in again. It was definitely a problem with IE 11 and how it handled authentication between the browser and a website. I did not have the same problem with either Firefox or Chrome. I'm running off a laptop, too, with Win10; I don't have a mobile device.
But that problem has long disappeared in my rearview mirror, since I abandoned Microsoft's browsers at that point.
I'm using an iMac desktop with Apple's Safari browser. It seems to sidestep a lot of problems I used to have with a PC.
