Sometimes when I view sub-forums I never viewed before, I find myself getting logged out. Just when I was about post this, I got logged out. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe it's a bug, I'm not sure. But I would really apprecieate it if emmzee would look into this problem and some how fix it, if possible. It's really annoying me.

It could be the way your computer is setup

You could try
deleting temporary internet files - Sometimes this might have something to do with the size set on the folder

Clearing the Cache also might help

What browser are you using?
What OS are you running?

I would suggest Mozilla Firefox is used whilst viewing these sites as it is more secure and doesnt seize your computer up like IE does

When I delete my temp internet files, my dosgames cookie gets deleted, and it doesn't remember my username and password... thus, I'm not logged in

Maybe one reason is using the "Back" button in your browser when surfing the forum. Another reason perhaps could be time-out from waiting too long before posting.

I ever experienced that before too. Wink

It only happens in this forum and not others.

Your cache may auto-clear every so often for whatever reason, which may sign you out. My browser automatically deletes certain cookies every 2 weeks, see if yours is hyperactive. Also, you may have security settings that refuse to allow the forum to update information. Not answering an IP ping for after a certain amount of time, for instance, would make the forum think you've timed out.

Or you might refresh your sign-in status every time you reload a new page, or any number of problems. It sounds like a problem with IE, not our forum. You may want to update your webrowser to a newer version.

I can't upgrade IE because the latest version, IE6, doesn't work with Win95

Update to Windows 98 then...
