An additional hassle with having to relogin is I use four Tabs, one for each of the forums I tend to use. Upon logging in on one of them I get dropped back not at the place I clicked to login but at one of the other forums I have open in another tab. That is confusing and ridiculous.

I didn't want to say anything in case it was just me going nuts or something...

When I logged in tonight (after computer had been turned off) to complain about something else (no replying via phone) I found I was still logged in.

Find out tomorrow if it sticks.

Upon turning my computer on this morning, I find I am still logged in.

Baby steps toward usability?

No. The whole thing is schizophrenic. I can and have not been here for two days, having completely shut down my computer in the interim, and find I am still logged in when I come back. At other times, I will be in the middle of reading a thread to which I have just replied only to find that I have suddenly been logged out.

Its just one of many problems.

At least the new forum software is correctly named; Jive. In all of that word's more negative connotations.

I still have to re-login on Safari, too.

Me too.

I just don't get why Adobe keeps spending piles of money to make stuff worse, like almost every version of Illustrator after 8. This new, crappier forum is an ideal example of this.

Slow? Check!
More difficult to navigate? Check!
Can't post images inline within message? Check!
Have to login every day? Check!
Basically unusable on an iPhone? Check!

Note to Adobe: Mobile devices are the faster growing market of web users. Want to alienate the future of the market? You're doing the right thing.

No bookmark page as before? Check!
Can't select text using Shift plus cursor keys? Check! Seriously. WTF?
Can't use browser-based dictionary? Check!
Handy pop-up menu to navigate to different areas NOT included on every page? Check!
That pop-up menu from above: Does it require clicking on a Go button after making a selection? Check!
Kills puppies? Not yet.
Alienates Adobe's greatest source of free tech support? Check!
Gets an F minus? Check!

Evidently the cookie setup to save forever, is either not turned on , not working correctly. If you sign on during the day. It persist through the night. But if you shut computer off and then back you have to resign in.

Once again they are having cookie problems. I can't use my USER ID to sign it because it uses the wrong account. If I use my email address then the correct User ID is used. So I will have to resign in every day to day and half.

The good thing is we can read posts without logging in. I'm afraid, though, that what is going to happen is far fewer people are going to help other people by replying just because it's too damn time-consuming to do so.

I wish they hadn't made the kind of login page that Firefox doesn't recognize as something it should remember. Remember me does NOT remember my password -- and neither do I!

I think they fixed it.

Seems OK to me now.

I, too, am now able to remain logged in on XP/Firefox.

Thanks!

In an earlier post in this same thread, I reported that the problem had been solved for me once the new forums were activated. I wrote that because I remained logged after last night overnight shutdow, both in my Mac desktop and in my Vista laptop. And I have stayed logged in almost all day. Unfortunately,starting some 3-4 hours ago, I have been constantly kicked out on both machines after an undetermined period of inactivity. So I am joining the crowd...

I too have to re-login each time my browser is started anew. obviously, I got used to being logged in since 2004 with no need to sign in. What Jive Turkey decided this kind of "security" was needed at a place where I ask Photoshop questions?

well jim, i think that since they've tied the forums to your actual adobe store account where you may store registration, and even credit card info for adobe store purchases, a little extra security might not be such a bad thing... now don't get me started again about the wisdom of that tie in, but that's where we're at...

Sorry davemilbut, I didn't think of that. As I said, I got used to a different way years ago. This must be why I have to sign into Kuler every time, too.

Lucky for me, this is a forum and not a court of law.

Things really are bad when I am asked to login, but I am still listed above under Welcome: DonRIcklin.

See screen shot attached!

Welcomed at the very top = logged in to Adobe.com

Welcomed further down = logged into forums.

Not the same.

Well maybe it should be! Seems when I log into the forum, if I'm not logged in above, it does that too, should work in reverse, as well!

Silly stuff.

In the WebX forums you could stay logged in indefinitely, even from several machines. I'd like that back.

Oh boy; if only!

The combination of the lousy forum navigation and continuually being logged out for no reason, means it's goodbye from me.

I just don't have the time to wrestle with this rubbish.

At least I'm not the only one!

I am also logged out after every window closing event. At the very top of the screen, it says "Welcome SuperMacGuy" (above home-solutions-products links) but in the bar just below the word Forum it does not recognize me. When I log in I choose "remember me", but I guess that's just for laughs.

Please Fix!
