It's been a few weeks now since change

[W0UZR]

I was told to wait for a while to get to change my logo to
"Senior Member" Or whatever I want.

I'm STILL WAITING..............



Also, I can't stay logged in. There is a time limit on that now?

Thanks

I have noticed this too.

Are you a paid subscriber? Those are the only users who can change their title. As for the time limit, I've noticed that it will log me out after a day or two of no activity. I just have my login/password saved so I click login and it puts me back on. But its not like its logging me out after a little bit of time. It has to be a couple of days of not coming on the forum for that to happen.

Interesting. I find the system making me log in several times a session. I haven't timed it out, but it SEEMS like I am being required to keep logging in several times an hour. Checking the "remember me" box makes no difference. It used to be like you explain above, for me too, but it has changed recently, and the time limit seems to be getting shorter and shorter every day.

I wonder how many other people have noticed this and are not speaking up?

I'm not a paid subscriber and mine was changeable in the user profile area.

Ok, great example...

I was just typing out a post, and when I hit "submit reply" the log in screen came up asking for my password!

The "inactivity" timer must have somehow got changed to minutes, instead of hours or days.

I noticed this at work, but not at home. At work I would have to re-login every 10 minutes, it seemed.

Next time you login, be slow and notice the "remember me" box. Click that box, and things should be as they were before.

I have done that, as I mentioned in an earlier post, and it makes absolutely no difference.

So long as I keep changing pages and move around the site, all is fine. But if you leave it on the same page for more than a few minutes (like when typing out a message like this one) if I don't type it out fast enough, the inactivity timer makes me log in again.

What needs to be done, is someone should change the setting, to whatever is set at 10 minutes (or whatever it is currently set to) and change it to at least an hour.

I guess that makes sense. I thought it might be some difference in my home system vs the work machine. However, I have a tendance to be sidetracked by incidents more at work.

According to what I've read on this site, paid subscribers are allowed to change the title underneath their callsign/username on the forum as a benefit of subscription. Therefore it would be safe to assume that non paying members do not have that ability.

As for the constant login issue, check your browser to insure you have cookies enabled. If your browser isn't accepting a cookie from this site it may not be able to keep your session alive or logged in. If you do have cookies enabled with it still happening, delete your cookies and let the site issue a new cookie just in case the previous one became corupt.

I have problems with log in also,, sometimes it will keep me logged in for hours sometimes even over night even if I leave and go to othere sites, but sometimes it is just a few minutes as mentioned before!! It sure gets old..

[K8ERV]

I use a great keyboard macro program "keyboard express" that will store passwords or anything else under one (or more) keys and taylor the output to a specific page. I have about 50 log ins under just the F9 key, so needing to log in often is not a problem.

The program is not free, but it is cheap and most useful. This is also how I store info on my for sale items.

YEOWZER!

I guess I don't have anything to complain about then.
I get kicked out every day and a half.

And I have to be a paid subscriber to put what I want under
my call sign? I'm on dissability getting $600 mo and some
change. I can't afford to pay attention.......

This is Bullogna

I guess I'm getting tired of being treated like a 5th grader.

If you do have cookies enabled with it still happening, delete your cookies and let the site issue a new cookie just in case the previous one became corupt.

Been there, done that. Had cookies on, same problem. Wanted to read one of the cookies to see what the cut off time was, so I could change it to keep me on for a year, but I couldn't figure out the code it was in. Then I noticed there were DOZENS of cookies from this site and all sorts of ad cookies installing themselves on my computer at an alarming rate. So I decided to delete all of them and shut cookies completely off for this site.

With or without cookies enabled, I am able to do all the same things, and still get cut off, being forced to continuously log in.

Since cookies are not needed to login or use the site, even if there is a cookie set time limit, there is obviously also another setting for time limit when cookies are not allowed or used at all, else I wouldn't be on here right now.

Someone just needs to find where this setting is in the software, and change it from 10 minutes (or whatever it is set at) to an hour at least.

Because the timer is working on inactivity. If I keep going through pages, reloading, and just making sure not to stay on any one page for more than X minutes, I can stay on all day long. The moment you are on a new page, it starts counting down. If you leave the room, or type out a long thought out post and the timer runs out, you have to log in again.

Simple problem to fix, someone just has to find out where the timer setting is located, and change it.

Just a test to see if my "title" changed.

I see the window for that, and I'm not a subscriber.

If it changed from "QRZ member" to 'Ol Curmudgeon" then I guess you don't have to be a sub for that, at least

I am a subscriber and too have had the log in problem even though I clicked the remember in button. I also have tried (using a cookie editor) to adjust the time for remembering my login-but it will not allow it.

The cookies on my computer were just simple .txt files. I could open and edit them, but all I see are characters and codes that mean nothing to me, I don't see any simple time or date and have no idea what I would change, before saving the file and changing it to a "read only" file so it would stay.

But now I am not allowing any cookies through at all, and I can still do everything I could before, and still had to log in about a dozen times already this morning.

One wonders what all those cookies were for, if they are not needed in order to do everything here?

It still keeps track of what threads I have read, etc etc.

But this having to re-log in over and over again is getting really annoying.

-------------------

Another note, I see that Paypal.com is trying to send me cookies everytime I am on this QRZ forum. I have those blocked. I don't like Paypal.

Great find. I was initially Senior Member, but then downgraded to QRZ member. I had no idea I had any control.

[ab8ma]

Well, despite my earlier experience from work, I have now been logged in for greater than 48 hours. That includes a forced re-boot last night.

Almost right after I put in this thread, I have to sign in about 2 and 3 times a day now. So I guess the honchoes are trying to tell me not to gripe. ?

[W0UZR]

And another thing. Why the hill couldn't the helper people say to change the print under the call sign you go to edit your profile and it's in there? They aren't suppose to tell anyone? I finally found out PMing everyone until someone finally told me.

Yes this change just happened recently.

And I have had to log in at least a dozen times so far today.

Looks like this has been corrected. From another thread on this issue...

Fred changed the "session time out" from 15 minutes to 1 hour yesterday afternoon to see if this helps with the problem. So far, it has helped me even though I was not coming close to 15 minutes of inactivity.

Hopefully, that will help everyone.
