I sign in, have a browse, maybe post something then get called away for a short time. Maybe ten minutes, sometimes longer. When I come back I have to sign on again. Why such a short time before elapsing? Or am I doing something wrong? Help!
I'm no tech wizz kid but it does not do that for me. I have the site on my favourates and have ticked the keep me signed on box. Everytime I come onto my laptop and click the link I'm straight to my page and stay logged on until I turn off the laptop.
Yeah Sid thats probably the way to do it. I would think like most other web sites there will be a time out after a certain time of inactivity
It's to do with your settins for you're browser, and how it deletes history. At work i'm logged in constantly, but at home i use firefox and tell it to delete all browsing history after each use, therefore the 'keep me signed in' command is deleted. You can change these settings, (tools, internet options), and ask it to keep cookies from certain sites etc.
If you use Google Chrome it asks if you want it to remember your password, it's much faster than other browsers as well
I tried chrome, and i just couldn't get certain things to work. It kept defaulting to igoogle as the search, i don't like the layout, so changed it to 'classic google', but everytime i logged off, back to igoogle. So i edited igoogle, made it relevant to me, and was quite happy, but first time i turned it off, back to standard. Gave up and back to firefox.
Tried everyting mate,i only had new laptop in January, so it's high spec windows 7, it had chrome built in as well, it's a vaio, they recommend chrome. I like the look and feel of chrome, i'd use it if i could get it to do either /or! Classic google, or save igoogle as i liked it!
Click on the spanner in the top right corner (not Chris), go to options, and it asks you for a homepage url. Just change that to whatever you want, and it should work.
Where's that ban button.... That's what i did, but soon as close browser and go back in, back to scratch. Like i say shame, cos Firefox is great when running, but when it crashes it leaves atrail of destruction!
teach you to ask questions pont, I have no idea what they are on about either. Something about googling a fox, would have thought that sort of thing would be for after hours
Might give it a try, i'm quitle loyal to Google, on the basis it made the whole worlds life easier/better! It's quite a quick install anyway.
I too have the same problem as the OP. It log's me out after only a few minutes, still it's not worse thans the BBC 3 minute rule!
If you are closing your browser it will log you out. If you leave the browser open in the background it shouldn't log you out. BB, I use Chrome, but when I install it, I never let it add anything like addons or settings just the basic browser. If Googles homepage doesn't load instantly I know I have connection problems Then when it's up and running the only addon I allow is the popup blocker. Also only certain sites I allow it to remember user name and password. Like NOT606 I just click in the boxes and it fills them in for me.
