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?

Things seem to change only for the worse in this. I wonder how many large corporations would tolerate so many important bugs in their sites for such a long time.

Phillip,
Things changed for me too - full, typed sign-in seems to be here to stay, at least for me. Oh well...

I haven't been here for more than a day so I expected I would have to sign in with my name and PW, but I didn't. I clicked the "Sign In" and it did it automatically.
I've also noticed that I am queried for my sign-in when opening Photoshop, (but not Bridge). Sometimes I ignore it but at least once, I had to fill it in.
I chalk it up to the recent hack, but that makes me consider that perhaps, the access for the hackers was through, or partially through, the Forums.

As far as I remember, John has stated that the Sign in issue is unrelated to the hack.

But probably the sign-in to your account is, and since it seems that the sign-in for the Forums is (apparently) identical to your account, it's all mixed up what is being checked for.

Feb 8 morning... forum is back to making me sign in every time I do something else for a "short" time (no stop watch... seems to be about 20 minutes or so)

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

I agree.
Someone that knows what they are doing should fix it. And an order should be attached the first one that tries improve it crews things up should either be shot on the spot. Or fired on the spot and word put out they are too incompetent to work in the Computer field. They only thing they should be allowed to do is Flip Hamburgers (But they would probably screw that up. Probably give customers Food posining).

I have resigned myself to having to log in every time I go away from the forums for "awhile" (an hour... two hours... ???) so I guess I'll stop thinking about what SHOULD be, and just accept what IS for the forums

So glad I found this thread. I thought it was just me.
It was definitely a hiccup that happened after the forums went down after the hack.
But if people are complaining, I suspect the web engineers can't figure out how to fix it. They don't want grumpy users.

It has been said in different threads that they are working on it. The Sign in issue is an Adobe, rather than forum, matter.

For me I have to log in only if the browser is closed. Computer can go to sleep mode and it is OK with wake up. Even closed Adobe sites and went into sleep mode and it was OK when I visited site.
A few weeks ago I had to relog in about every 10th log in. Have not had to do that recently.
Win 7, Firefox, Seattle area.
Message was edited by: Curt Y Also, it the internet is disabled I have to log in again.

Curt, you mean you don't even have to mpress the Sign In button (to be directly taken to the forums)? If you do, you are very lucky.

If I have to click on the sign in button I call that a log in, which I have to do when browser is disconnected. The Adobe screen comes up and after a few seconds I am logged in. I have not had to re-enter my user name and password for many weeks now.
Mention this not to brag, but inform.

Well, this should also be true for myself, but it isn't. I had to sighn in completely. Not only that, but the checkbox was unchecked.

Do you run a cleaner, clean out cookies?

Last day or two I now have to sign in I come back to the forum even if I haven't shut down computer, or the Browser. If I just leave the forums and go to something else and come back.

I would ask everyone to be very clear about the meaning of "sign in". These days, I am experiencing two different situations. The first: I am taken to the Sign In page, I click on the Sign In button, and I am logged in after some time. And the second: same as before, but I have to enter my iD and password to log in.
These two occur randomly, no pattern that I have been able to find. Anfd these have been present for some weeks now, which I would think would be intolerable for any large corporation such as Adobe. Only trouble is, Adobe doesn´t seem to be doing anything about this very serious bug.

Yesterday, and this morning, I had to click the sign in link every time I was away from the forums for "some" amount of time... browser still open, just at a different site... and the sign in "wheel" would spin for a few seconds and I would be signed in again
This afternoon, I have TWICE had to enter my information during the sign in... including checking the remember me box... Win7 IE11

Yesterday when I went to sign it actually asked for user name and Password I put it and the "winder" wound and would for about two minutes before Ihit reload then I was signed in.
After that everytime I left the forum even for a few seconds. And come back I would have sign in. After that I would click click on it and it would wind for a couple seconds or so and and Iwould be signed in .
Today I click on sign in as long as web browser hasn't been quit I remain signe in. Previously when everything was working as it should I signed in one time and as long as the cookies didn't get screwed up. I was signed in even when when computer shut down and was signed in for years until this mess happened. Now I am Luck some days to even get in.

Further improvement today. A couple of hours ago, I could get into the forums with no problem except being asked to sign in. When I clicked on the button, I got a "Site temporarily unavailable" error, and so I left.
Now I got in, was asked to sign in, clicked the button, had to enter my ID and password, and then accept Adobe's Terms of Use! Isn't this a bit too much?

Just to spell out exactly what I'm experiencing.
I start with an email from the forum.
I click to View the Discussion.
I then get to the discussion, but I am not signed in as shown that I can't reply.
I then have to click the Sign In link at the top of the page.
I then get the sign in fields, but they are empty, despite me clicking "Remember Me" the last time I had to do this.
I enter my information, being careful to click Remember me
I then can reply to comments.
But even if I keep the browser open, I still get the request to sign in when I click the prompt to View Discussion from the email.
However, something new got added this morning. I was asked to accept Terms and Conditions that I am sure I accepted some time ago. Notice also, that the date for the update of this DB is Dec. 20, 2013. I know I've been to the forums since then. But never got this request.
I'm posting these images so others can compare their experience to see if it is the same or different from mine and others.

Sandee, thanks for backing up with pictuires my description of the changes of today.

@Sandee – same here with me.
What really was disturbing this morning here in Germany: for over one hour I tried to log in; to no avail. Here in the forums or every where else like "myAdobe".
Now it's working again.
And yes "Accept" the terms of use is a new one…
As we can see in usually high frequented sub forums, the "outage" or whatever it was, lasted about 7 to 8 hours… No posts were answered or new posts added for this time frame.
