Yoyo and Reboot:

When you get logged out, are there any visits to the main MacTech or MacNews sites in between? Or are the only sites of ours that you are on are the forums?

Thanks!

Neil

I go to MacTech and MacNews too. I've tried all combinations. I've probably logged on and off a couple of hundred times or more the last few days trying different ways, browsers, and locations, nothing keeps me logged into the forums except clicking the Remember me box.

And like I said, sometimes, not often at all, during the mad log off and on sessions it does things like not letting me log into the forums at all without logging out of MacTech first. Or it may log me into MacTech but not the forums.

Other than being able to use the same log in info for MacNews, nothing at MacNews crosses over to MacTech or the forums, or vice versa, which I think you said is to be expected. It's its own separate log in but using the same info as MacTech.

Well, now I'm completely confused. I had to change my password in order to get the login to work through the MacTech page, and I did that on my laptop. I'm now on my desktop, and when I clicked to go to the forum, I was logged in, even though I hadn't changed the password on this computer. I'm going to log out now and see what happens.

Oh, and to your question, Neil, no, I didn't visit either MacTech or MacNews main pages in between.

More and more bizarre. I logged out of the forum, then logged back in using my old 6-character login, and voilá! here I am.

However, I'm not logged into the MacTech main page--just checked. I wonder what'll happen if I log off the forums then log into the MacTech main page. I'll be back (I hope!).

Well, I can't log into the MacTech main page at all, using the old password 6-character or the new 8-character password. But I did log into the forum using the 6-character password. I didn't clear caches. Maybe tomorrow.

And I wonder what my laptop will do

Re: Your previous three posts.

I have said it before in other posts about this, and as I stated above in my "other twists," there is no consistency to what happens with the log ins.

Reboot here, in a different sock.

Logging in as this user works fine, but I registered a user rebooted on 2-9-2010. I can log in to MacTech or MacNews with rebooted, but when trying to log in at the forums it won't let me, it says Username/Password not found. rebooted doesn't show up in the user list at the forums of course.

I can log in fine at MacTech with this user, jmuha, that I set up on 2-20-2010, but it did take 3.5 days to get the welcome email after registering jmuha.

I did the log out shuffle first, logged out of everywhere, then (temporarily) threw out the Safari folder and preferences to start clean, still couldn't log in at the forums with rebooted.

ARRGGHHH.

Logged out jmuha from everywhere, quit Safari. Replaced Safari folder and preferences. Launched Safari, logged in as Reboot, it showed all posts unread. Logged out of the forums, logged back in, all okay now.

Still a no go this morning as MacBozo. Forum log in is fine with it, though.

OK, so I just came to the forums today for the first time--I was logged out. I had quit Safari, so I don't know if it was the length of time between visits or quitting the app or what that led to the log out.
