Staying logged into WAB

[Ollie]

If I remember correctly this issue has been raised before several months ago but no definite solution was ever found, so I just wondered with the site membership having grown so much if anyone can help.

I am unable to stay logged into WAB. It's fine as long as I am actually doing something such as viewing different pages or writing posts etc, but if I am inactive for more than around ten minutes I have to log in again. I tick the box that says remember me but to no effect. I am that frustrated with this that I am considering installing Firefox but would really like to keep on using IE 7

I am using IE 7 with McAfee firewall active and AVG antivirus. The computer is fully up to date with all the latest updates. The security setting in IE 7 is set to medium high and to accept cookies.

Thanks
Roger

Hi Roger,

I also had this problem when I first joined ... even clicking on remember me!

IE is fine, I would check your firewall settings again. I suspect it may be McAfee timing out the connection.

Good luck

Thanks John.
Just altered some settings in McAfee so will see how it goes.

This will happen if you clear out all yer cookies too. I use ccleaner to clear out temporary rubbish, but have it set to keep certain cookies, WAB being one of them.

I don't have this problem Roger, apart from when I clear my cookies. Could your system be clearing cookies automatically every few minutes?

Hurrah, It's fixed.

John was right, it was McAfee Firewall that was doing it. Altered the settings to let IE 7 have full access and its done the trick. Thanks everyone for the replies and John, Your'e a star mate.
