Sometime this year the micro mart forums stopped being able to remember that I am supposedly logged in.

If have tried this one various browsers and machines.

It is making these forums unusable.

Feel free to email me when this has been fixed.

I've never had any bother with the forum.
Have you ticked the "Remember me" box on the log in page?

Thanks for assuming I am a simpleton Smile

I hoping that soon someone will tick my 'remember me' box, before old age sets in and I...

eh?

Seriously though, my experience is a bit like this:
1. Browse to: http://forum.micromart.co.uk
2. [login]
3. Click on "Magazine/Website Feedback & Suggestions » The Micro Mart Website". Oh look, I'm not logged in.
4. Read posts (but not in the way set up in my options, because I am not logged in).
5. Oooh look, funny post from bigdaddy, Click Reply.
6. [login]
7. Write this post.
8. Click on submit button to post message. Receive error message that my message contains no content.
9. Paste content into notepad.
10. Reselect content in notepad. Paste it into fourm message box.
11. Post reply. Receive error message that my message contains no content.
12. Repeat step 10.
13. Post reply. Oh I'm not logged in.
14. Login....

I found one! It is <------------------------------- THIS BIG -------------------------------------->

Try logging in first before replying, and make sure you tick the remember me box.
Logging in after typing a post (when not not logged in) may be your problem.

I certainly don't see the problems you're having, but the Forum software is a bit crap anyway.
However, we'll have to live with it's foibles as it isn't going to get changed.

Return to previous page...

The action that *always* logs me out, is clicking on 'Recent Posts' -> 'Posts added today'.
Other times I can stay logged in for a few minutes, sometimes enough to read 2 whole threads.

But I am finding that I am visiting these forums less and less. It is just too much hassle.

I wonder if chat will work tonight?

If you are having problem than ask for help but bashing a forum that doesnt seem to have problems with other people using it makes no sense, your post seems argumentative and asking for conflict!!

I have had the login problem a couple of times BEFORE I clicked the remember me box.

Always remember if you act like a child you will get treated like a child, act like a reasonable sane adult and most people on here will bend over backwards to help you.

cheers

I love the way you take it so personally. Let me rephrase that. I admire you for the stance you are taking (EDIT: this is meant as a compliment)

I was hoping that you might understand from my initial post "If have tried this one various browsers and machines. " (on your way correcting my typo), and that I have been a forum member and poster for a few years, that I understand how "remember me" forum boxes are supposed to work.

I am bashing the software, not the users of it. I feel I have a right to that. If I don't, then I will take my custom elsewhere.

EDIT: To exapand on the last line: These forums are a major part in my magazine subscription. If I can't have the forum, then I wont buy the magazine.

Fair enough...

Dont see why it would only affect you???

Like I said I had the login problem just like you but the "remember me" fixed it for me!

If i'm telling you to suck eggs tell me but could it be a cookie problem?? I know you have tried different machines but maybe you have just been unlucky with this forum.

Do you use other forums?
