I had to sign on this session, the first time since I don't know when and I didn't earlier today, had to scratch the old brain to remember the password..

Any reason why this happens?

Did you clear your cookies/cache? This throws out the session and thus prompt you to sign in again.

I saw similar behavior today. I clicked on a link to another thread in the forum and it said I wasn't logged in on the thread window. I don't ever really log off/close IE so it hasn't done it in my "main" window yet.

Oh, yeah. That one was a bit unusual. I am not sure why when one clicks a "Single View Post" or anything else which may open a new windows, it's unlogged. Maybe the browser gets confused and think it's a separate session?

BTW, this is true of any vBulletin forums, FWIW.

Thanks for the resonses, I hadn't done anything different, I had run Ad aware between sessions but thats a normal event, the one difference is that it asked if I wanted to update the software, I said yes then the uninstal of the current release failed, a problem I haven't looked at yet , but the old release appeared to run as normal.
I will keep a check on it when I get time.

You had to scratch your brain because you did not remember the cleaver password you assigned to your signon to access the forum





It could be worse, imagine having to sign on over and over again with 28k dialup
