    Very frequent request by the forum to sign in

    I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem or if the forum is designed to request sign-in information this frequently. Once I sign in to the forum using my login information and then I try to download an attachment to a post, I am asked to log in again. If I reply to a post and then click on 'Go Advanced', I am asking to log in again even though I am already logged in. Sometimes I am asked to log in again when I click the 'Submit' button. I know that the forum requires a member to login in after a long period of inactivity, but this is not true in my case. Any suggestion?

    Mumps1,

    One option that might alleviate the problem would be to check the "keep me logged in" checkbox. I know that is only a workaround and not a proper solution, but it could help. Personally I have not had this issue, though yesterday the site was acting up quite a bit.
    Please help by:

    Marking threads as closed once your issue is resolved. How? The Thread Tools at the top
    Any reputation (*) points appreciated. Not just by me, but by all those helping, so if you found someone's input useful, please take a second to click the * at the bottom left to let them know

    Thank you. It just happened again when I tried to respond to your post. It's getting a little frustrating.

    Did you try checking that box?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards

    Thanks for the rep Mumps, and thanks FDibbins, a bit redundant, but I did not see your reply about Win10 when I went to post mine.
