Logging In Weekly?!?!

[CR McDivot]

Wanna know why TST traffic lags compared to competitors?

Simple as this...

If one does not log in each and every day, (and often if one does) email and password are required. The forum software is either incapable of, or denied by administrators of, remembering users for longer than the short term memory of a severe Alzheimer's patient!

Or maybe it's just me that has to log in with email and password - TWICE, if I have not returned within a day.

I go days without logging on-On my computer and phone.

Works for me.

It is just you.

I edited the title. This is more correct.

I don't use each computer every day. My desktop has gone a week or more within the past few months without needing to log in each time.

Something is likely wrong with your computer: cookies settings, something…?

Same story on both my Android tablets.

Maybe my theory is off, but maybe worth considering. Traffic equals sustainability on the web. I'm sure you have analytic software to determine repeat visits. Are you losing an inordinate number of repeats over time?

Got to be a reason your primary competition records 10 times the daily traffic. Frustration rises quickly in this media, patience with unnecessary keystrokes or other things that tend to indicate the user is unwelcome is practically nil.

I find that I'm asked to login with my phone if I had logged on with my computer and visa versa.  If I stay on just one device then I don't usually have any issues.  Maybe it has to do with multiple logins using different devices?

Same here.

Are you using the same web browser on both your phone & computer? IE: Google, Safari, or other?

I've only had to log-in once and I never log-out on my tablet using the new browser, Edge.

With all sites I'll receive the notification "Would you like to save this password for this site?"

I haven't played around with Droid's lately, but I would guess it has an option in settings to "remember log-in" or get a password manager app.

Kind of random for me though. I'm logged in with my iPad and phone sometimes a PC.

Usually there's no issues, but then I find I have to login one of them again.

The funny thing is getting the "we miss you" emails. Sometimes, right after posting something.

a) You don't know the traffic numbers here. We do pretty well.

b) If you're having trouble there are less passive aggressive ways to share that information.

c) I use multiple devices and log in almost never. So without more information I can't even help you troubleshoot.

If you came here to post this primarily for a and b, though, meh. I'm not particularly interested in talking about that with you. If you actually want help, ask.

First, though, delete your cookies and cache. Just the cookies for this site. Perhaps you have lingering issues following our switch to HTTPS.

It happens to me occasionally, but I can't pin down a cause. I just restarted my phone to see if that would cause it, but it did not. 

I will check after the next iOS update on my Mac. I think I have one in the queue. It may reset something.

Pretty minor issue for me to log in again. It takes like 3 additional seconds before I can blog you guys again.

The settings in iOS don't change with reboot and even SW revisions. It's in the settings pages for the application. It's a new persistence feature. Good feature in my opinion, but takes getting used to.

I find that even though it does not show that I am logged in when I open the site, as soon as I click on ANYTHING on the site, it shows I am still logged in. Do not need to re-log. Try that.

I had to sign in on my iPad Sunday. Then Monday, I had to sign in on my work laptop and Tuesday morning on my home Mac. It seems when one device requires sign in, all access requires it. I'm not sure why the iPad need it. I did not power down or do and update.

I log in. 4-5 minutes later - I have to log in again. 3 minutes later, have to log in again, and again.

Why can't I stay logged in until I log out?

[CCC]

Back on board again. But I keep getting logged out again and again for some reason.

See the above discussion. Can you share more details? What device are you using? What browser?

What if you clear your cache and cookies for the site?

I can troubleshoot if I can reproduce.

Are you suggesting my vasectomy is the issue?
