hate this sign in every time and then get dumped stuff!!

Post by jfrprops » Tue Jul 09, 2013 8:50 pm

What IS the deal? I know it could be stupid cyber challenged ME.....??? but this has happened since we did some changes and this one is not for the best. Is it a safety measure? What gives?
Are others concerned about this.....sure it is only inconvenient...but why should it have to be?

John, make sure that you have cookies enabled on your browser. What browser and version are you using? Is anyone else having this problem?

I have no problems on my laptop, but I have to sign in each time on my iPad.

No problems with iPhone
Buzz new postings since last visit is on reading list in Safari.
When I click, the site shows the new posts and I'm already logged in.
Can't think of how it could be any better!

What Matt said AND asked is crucial to whether this works or not, so try to answer his question...

Cookies (the computer kind) have nothing to do with spam. Nor will they fill your pc with porn (unless you go to porn sites and ask them to fill your pc with porn). All cookies do is allow a website like chris-craft.org, amazon.com, insertyourfavoritewebsitehere.whatever to keep tabs on whether you are logged in and what your preferences are for that website. They are not connected to email, virus's, spam, or any of that bad stuff. Anything bad you heard about them is from the days when nobody wanted anybody knowing anything about anything at all about them. Those days have been long gone for 10 years now, so think of cookies as your friend. They will do you no harm. This aint Ruby Ridge :mrgreen:

True enough, the NSA knows everything you do online anyway, and phone calls you make, texts you send, etc. Just ask Snowden...Turn on cookies, Big Brother is already watching.

You bring up a good contrast... All this Snowden stuff is somewhat akin to cookies... If you want the convenience of not having to log in every time, not having your shopping cart emptied every time you close your browser, not having to type the same info every time you open a site, not being bombed by a pseudo terrorist when you're jogging, then as long as you have nothing to hide, just enjoy the benefits. But we won't go there :D

Things work differently depending on how you get to the site. As I reported earlier Safari on my iPhone connects me to "new posts since last visit" and I am already logged in. If I come to the site by clicking the link on an email notice of a new post in a watched thread, I am not logged in. I don't know what browser the gmail account uses to display the site. It looks like I'm still in my gmail which is an app I've added to the phone. So, if I want to post a reply after getting to the site via the email link, I must log in. It's easier to just go to the Safari launch and pick up the thread from there.

Easiest is to just leave a browser window open, leave your computer on (better for it anyway), and you'll always stay logged in.
