    This system is still logging me out randomly. I could swear I checked on the keep me logged in box, but still it logged me out. However, there is a chance I just THINK I clicked on the box, but I actually didn't. :D

    You had me, at least, at "I could swear".

    LOL. ;)

    We haven't yet heard back from the owner, but will let you know when we do.

    That is still puzzling us, but it has been added to the admin-do-list.

    If you can't work it out yourself, but it is important for your to use a quote to continue a conversation, let one of us know either via "conversation" ( I think that's what a PM is called now), or by starting a thread in feedback.

    Could you let us know specifics so we can try duplicating the problem?

    Well, there really aren't any specifics. I log on and will be going from one thread to another or just trying to navigate in the forum and I will notice that I've been logged out. I usually don't notice until I go to make a post or something.

    I assume you have your "stay logged in" status checked?

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    No, it only happens when I don't check that box. If I check the box, then I stay logged in, but sometimes I forget to check it. It still shouldn't be logging people out randomly though. I mean, it happens when I'm active and doing things. I can understand that some programs will log you off after a period of inactivity, but that's not the case here.

    I never check it, but I don't have that issue. If we put our heads together, hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this. Lets see if others have the same problem.

    I'm testing things out right now. I didn't click the "keep me logged in" box. We will see what happens and if it happens and when it happens. I am on the job! :p

    You guys are so great. Not only for helping each other, but also pointing out all the problems that come with this changeover.

    No that's okay, someone posted out the long version of how to do it.

    But it turns out I don't need that right now anyway. I was worried that a discussion topic was about to be closed due to the 750 length of posts, that was an unspoken rule on the old forum, but it turns out now the conversations are staying open way later now.

    I'm wondering why it isn't checked by default, as I suspect it is for most everyone else. Maybe you have a corrupted cookie file or something.

    Anyways. It didn't happen last night. I purposefully left that box unchecked just to see, and it seems fine now. If it happens again, I will let you know.

    Swell, but I don't see anyone else having that problem on this site. I never even see a login page, and I wouldn't know how to get one other than by deleting the PF cookie.

    I'd try another browser, if you haven't already.

    Thanks but no thanks. I like my browser. Like I said, I haven't been having that problem recently and I'm quite sure it's not because of my browser. Doesn't happen anywhere else.

    The only reason why you wouldnt see a log in page is because you have the box clicked anyways, and we've already figured out that if the box is checked, then it doesn't happen. :rolleyes:

    And obviously I like mine; but were I having that problem in Firefox, I'd see if the same thing happens in Opera.

    Wow I like this "Upload a File" button in the middle between "Post Reply" and "More Options..." This is the first time on the new system that I've uploaded a file from my computer.

    I saw several people upload a file, but I didn't know how to do it before so this is my first attempt.

    Does anyone know if there's a gallery where you can reuse an image? Or do you just have to upload it again each time you use it???

    I purposefully did not check that little box again, and when I went to navigate to "home", it logged me out of the forum. That is so weird. If I check that box, it doesn't happen.

    Okay, here is a problem I've found. I got a new friend request, but there was no alert. If I hadn't noticed, I would have not even known. We should be alerted when there is a new friend request. Thank you. :)
