Default General question.... Why do I get logged out?

Why do I get logged out when I do a screen refresh? This only started a few couple days ago.

Depending on which O/S you are using, look under Tools and then Internet Options and see if somehow the Delete Browsing History on Exit button got checked, --or you disabled Cookies.

When you sign in click "remember me"or "stay logged in" whichever it is, and it will keep you logged in even after you leave the site.

NO IT WILL NOT!
I have the exact same problem for some time now! I ask Ryan(email) and was given a 'computerized' response that I haven't a clue about. Who the hell authorized anyone to put kookies in my mothersboard anyway..and what's a bowser! Ah well, just keep signing in,eh!

First try what Brent said, (some times computers get corupted,) if that doesnt work, and your using IE, click on tools at the top of the page, then click on options in the box, then click delete files and history, you can click on delete cookies, but if you do you will have to sign in again where ever you have a password, then click on ok, then delete any short cuts to this site, including favorites run a reg cleaner, then delete all files in recycle bin, then reboot computer, come back here and sign in, check the (remember me) box, you then should be ok to go

Whoa...I'm going to have to get #1 grandson to intrepret, if I can ever catch up to him!
Hm, Orroville? How far is that from LA, in model a time, and a great BBQ here! BTW...last time I tried 'tinkering' with this new fangled machine, we ended up worms/virus/whatever and buying a new(now old)computer after calling the greek squad. She said 'you play with the old model a stuff and leave MY computer alone
Corrupted...seriously!!

Default Re: General question.... Why do I get logged out?

A few weeks ago, It happened to me and then my PW wouldn't work. In a state of high dudgeon, I e-mailed Ryan as to why we can't pick our own PWs as we can on other sites I go to. I would have picked something nice and easy to rememeber. I got an answer that he felt it was of some importance to some members to maintain this level of security. Good God Man! It's only an old car, hobbyist's site, what "Security" is necessary for that? Oh well, I'll do it your way.... I went through the ordeal of getting a new PW and typing it in (Case sensitive, too), Shaking my head all the while. I used the "Remember Me" function and Hope that the puter doesn't screw me up again. Life isn't tough, it's just annoying as hell!

The remember me works both on my pc and my smart phone, keeps me logged in until a shut down or clear history and cookies. The password thing must be new as I chose my password and it is still the same.

depending where your at in LA, its 550miles, average speed with a Model A is 35 mph, with gas, food and rest stops that is the average, so about 15 hours

hardtimes, its simple, open your browser, google, yahoo or what ever, i use google its not cluttered and simple to use, at the top of the browser page you will see a bunch of things you can click on, just click on tools, a window will open, at the bottom of that window click on internet options, a new window will open , click on delete files, a new window will open, click on ok, the window will close, then click on clear history, a new window will open, click yes, after the hour glass icon goes away and the pointer comes back, at the bottom of that window click ok, now all the old files and internet history are removed, when your done email me [email protected], and i will email you the next step, email your phone # and i will call you and help you

On the top of the screen in black with white lettering you will see "User CP" Click on this.

On the left side of this new screen you will see, "Edit Email & Password" Click on that.

You can now change your password to whatever you like.
