Question

The Title says it all. Of what use is the remember Me check box if it utter ignores the fact I have signed in already today 1/2 doz times or more?

What is the matter with Forum Operations? Are you trying to drive away users?

    This has got me mighty close to my "Screw it, I'll find a different forum to help out in" point.

    Can someone at least confirm this is on someone's issues list and going to be looked at?

    healthcare.gov has fixed bugs faster than this and they're known as a crappy site world-wide.

    Well, at least now we have a date in which something might happen. Only thing is that many of us still remember what happened the last time we had a major change... (sorry, I couldn't find an emoticon with a frightened face).


    The 26th of Never, imo.

    Yep. It's developed Alzheimer's. I wonder if the people keeping it up have it.

    Being somewhat nasty, since this is a real PITA to deal with, I will say that a working brain is required before you can have Alzheimer's

    In the last few days, I haved had to enter my ID and password several times a day. This is worse than the "normal" automatic login after clicking the Sign In button.

    So far as long as I don't shut down SeaMonkey (or Firefox or any of my web browsers, and I sign in I continue to be signed  until I quit the web browser being used. Once Ireopen I have to resign it. I can deal with this as perhapsa necsaary evil. I don't think they will ever return to, once you signe in your signed in for 10 years, and stays signed in when browser is shut down, and computer is turned off. I am not even sure They know how to fix it, if they wanted to.

    There are a lot of posts about this so I'm not sure if this has been covered.

    Today, as usual, I pretty much have to log-in almost every time.

    But, I logged in a few minutes ago and did not check the "Remember me" box (checking it every time is wishful thinking I know) BUT, it DID remember me.

    Not only is this a sign of something being broken but if I were on a public machine, it would also be a big security issue. I don't care if it remembers me (well I do but it's not hurting anything when it doesn't) but when it DOES remember me when it shouldn't, THAT is a big issue.

    It could be that the cookie was already set on your machine (from a previous 'Remember me').

    But it definitely needs to be looked at.

    True. That could have happened to an unwary user on a public machine just as easily. That's more or less the worry here.

    Today, if I am not ON a forum for "about" 2 hours (no timer set) I am logged out and have to log in when I return... Win7 IE11

    Lawrence,

    At this moment in time (and I stress that, as it HAS changed for me), I am good to go with the preliminary Sign-in, when I start the morning. So long as I do not close my browser, I have been staying signed-in all day.

    It's variable for me. Even with the browser left open, if I change to a different forum, I get asked again. Sometimes it asks, then auto signs, other times it doesn't auto sign.

    Gumption is the right word here. the system destroys gumption and I don't come here often. I filed a question in ACR a few days ago and the going has been really rough going back and forth.

    One of the strangenesses is that different people (in different places) experience different strangenesses at very different levels.

    When I start up for a new day, I get logged in automatically, but into another forum. After that, I can just reload all tabs in all windows and switch forums and whatever, and if only I am inactive in the forums no longer than some hours at a time (somehwre between three and five, I believe), I can close down the browser, and the computer, and still be logged in when I start up again.

    It appears to have gotten worse over the past week or so. If I cleared cookies then it asks again as expected, but now it's sign-up time if you stay away from the forum for more than a few minutes.

    I figured somewhere others have complained here but after running around getting signed in again and again I had no gumption to look for previous posts.

    Folks here needs to study Gumptionology 101. These forums have many gumption traps.

    >Gumptionology 101

    Since complaining really does not work (as evidenced by the 4 links I posted, plus more if you go back more than 2 forum screens) we have 2 choices

    1 - use what Adobe/Jive gives us

    2 - go away

    I don't have any numbers, and some may be due to the new Cloud rental process, but SOME people have picked #2

    Join the crowd Its problem that has been broke since the Deal they had a few weeks ago where Adobe had an issue with a Hacker.  They tried to make it more secure and screwed it up so bad, They don't have anyone smart enough to fix it.
