Question

Now have to sign in every time to forum

I use several fora, but these days I'm mostly in the Lightroom forum. I've been saving the URL when signed on so that by clicking on favorites I automatically end up in the forum already signed on.

I got prompted a few days ago to associate my Adobe userid with my forum id.

Since doing that I always end up in guest mode and have to sign on every time. I tried resaving the URL (once signed on), but that doesn't seem to work either.

I log into the forum daily from the same computer and it's irritating to have to continually supply my id when it was not previously required.

Is this the way it is? Can be be fixed? Or, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks very much,

Selby

I was using SM 1.1.14 on my laptop that I received the sign up page and afterwards could stay on all the time, even after browser and computer Shutdowns. if I knew which cookies had to do with the forum I'd delete them and start over on this machine.

I constantly have to re-sign in on this machine. but on my Lap top that's in the shop I had to go through the setup. It remained logged in.

I've never so much as seen the setup page on this one.

I Use SeaMonkey and FF on this machine.

Claudio - how do you go about re associating the account?

Since there is no confirmation anywhere, I believe we are all a bit anxious; but your case sounds really strange, Claudio.

It should be nice to know somehow.

I have easy access to three computers. Only one of them was used for entering these forums on Black Friday, and I have constantly been received as a guest since then in that one. I have permanently remained logged in the other two.

Well, I finally associated my two accounts in the "infected" computer. And now I still remain logged in the other two, and I am received as a guest in the Black Friday one. At least, now I log in using my usual adobeforums data but I am no longer "invited" to associate my accounts.

Can I be certain that my two accounts were associated correctly and that nothing terrible is going to happen the day we have to start using our Adobe ID to log in?

John pointed out at the time that he had asked exactly that. He's obviously learned lots of lessons, but it is a complex system. Best laid plans and all that.

Re: Black Friday

I hope that was a lesson that Friday is not the best day to make a change (for when the whole thing changes). Better to put the new pages up earlier in the week, so that the addicts amongst us can get our fix over the weekend. No sense making a change and then having all the people who can fix something broken going away for two days.

I also have a page of tabs that I access frequently every day set as my homepage in Firefox, then have it set to restore the previous session when I close it for whatever reason, and have it set to remember my logins (helps to live alone and have sole access to computers both here and at work). Don't know how much all that helps keep me logged in, but it sure hasn't hurt.
