logging on but not

[Snook]

recently, while logging on, after putting in proper uid & PW, she takes me back to the initial not logged on menu. if I select one of the topics on this screen she takes me there, where I am already signed on. just a PITA.

It's also one of those things that makes you go hmmmmm. But I think maybe try clearing your cache and any cookies... restarted your computer and browser lately? Many things could cause this...haven't seen it myself however.

Let us know if this continues...

you & me both, Snook. sometimes I log in on every page I come to (6 to 10 times) and still cannot post. sometimes I log out, come back three days later & I'm logged on...

Try using the "remember me" button when you login.
Make sure your browser accepts cookies from icmag.

I have, in the last week cleared all temp files, cookies and whatever else it let me delete..
same thing just happened. tks.

I will at times use "remember me", skip but not for any extended period of time. Paranoia.

I think cookies are accepted because when using 'remember me', she does 'remember me' until I 'log off'. TKS.

this sounds a feasible change that I will make to my favorites button for ICMAG. none the less, it's just a work around. i'm OK but something else could be wrong.. Thanks, all of you.

and let me now add: if I select the 'forum' next to the 'my ic' button, it takes me back to the forum menu but I'm not signed on, so it seems that only the forum menu (haven't looked any further) does not recognize me as logged on. just kinda weird.

this kinda thing makes me go hmmmmmmm........especially since im in the land of oppression where a healthy ammt of paranoia is essential when growing more than a few plants.


peace

now I can not go to 'My IC' from anywhere. it takes me back (even though I'm signed on 'Welcome, Snook') to the sign on screen

If you're not using the 'remember me' button, then you're going to get logged off when you're idle. simple as that.

has nothing to do with 'idle', skip or 'remember me'.

I logon, it says 'welcome snook' then takes me to whatever screen and i'm NOT logged in. I can elect to go to let say the forum menu. I go there. I'm on a screen that I AM logged into. if I select 'my ic', takes me back to sign in screen.. I'm a little buzzed, yes but not incoherent. I've never had problems for many years, skip.
in a previous life, I did system development, installation, beta testing, implementation and education of the international system of a fortune 500 company. it's not right. maybe I go for some time and come back in some amount of time.. thanks.
