Why here, not there?

"Except" when I closed my browser? John, that would mean at least once a day for me, as I switch off my computer for the night (in which I somehow feel I'm not alone). Not counting restarts due to almost daily Windows updates or the like...

Not a change I would welcome.

>except when I closed my browser.

Aaah!

Claudio, the login issue is due to a change in the forum's cookies. Migrating your account or not, login issues will be the same.

Your reference link is to an issue on Friday night where cookies were set to expire after a certain amount of time. That was not working correctly across the various forum servers in the cluster. That was fixed shortly after it happened.

Fred, you should not have to log in as you move around or in and out of forums. Please check the URL you are at in the Forums. It should be http (not https) and it should have www in it (http://www.adobeforums.com, not http://adobeforums.com).

I had to log in on Friday night, like everyone else. But have been able to stay in pretty much since then, except when I closed my browser.

John

Thanks, JJ.

I was looking for something like that.

Using Linux Firefox, Privacy is accessed under Edit>Preferences (where it really should be, I guess :-) ).

Let us have the skilled bakers back.

that's not really a solution. that's a stop gap. the solution should come when whoever messed up the cookies gets back from their weekend.

Addition. Due to my been admitted as a guest because I haven't linked, I see red flags everywhere, and I had missed this thread:

This is the "mess" I was talking about.

John, I have read more than a few messages around here complaining about difficulties in logging in after linking. Maybe the word "mess" was a bit too strong applied to this issue, but this is what I was talking about.

For some two years, I have had to log in every time I have wanted to post a message at "the other side". I have followed carefully all the recommendations given in here and there to avoid this, but none has worked. I have had this problem in a Mac with successive verions of OS X and Firefox, in a desktop machine with Windows XP, and now in this laptop with Vista, using Explorer in both cases. Some of the people complaining of difficulties after linking are reporting this same problem, but I have not yet seen any explanation or solution posted.

Frankly, I don't feel like doing the linking until I am forced, or the login problems are solved.

Well, I've complied with the linking request and since then I have to manually log on every time I access the Photography forum. Prior to doing this I had been logged on automatically whenever I hit the bookmark link in Firefox.

What gives? This is now a time-wasting PITA.
