Timeout problems

[lceumt]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum only joining a couple of days ago. However I keep getting timeout problems and if this continues I'll not both anymore.

This has happened for the last 2 - 3 days, on different computers, with different browsers. This problem means that this forum is unusable for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mick

There should be an option when you log in to "automatically log me in" or somesuch if you tick that you should be ok.

There is a "Remember me" check box but I can't find anything else. This makes no difference.

Thanks anyway.

Aaahhhhh!!!!!

Just had to "post" this 3 times!

Are you with AOL or Yahoo by any chance?

 

[lceumt]

Nope, not with either.

However I do have a further update which may mean this thread can be closed.

Just tried yet another PC and this one runs Linux. Been on the forum for 5 - 15 mins with no problems. So, it's either a problem with the other PC's (probably) or a problem with Windows (which I doubt). Anyway, I have a solution, which is great.

Thanks

I am unable to use this forum with AOL. It's fine with Internet Explorer. I find that I get timed out too, but not if I tick the remember me box every time I log on.
Hope that helps

Tried FIREFOX ?

Yep, clicked the Remember Me and tried Firefox, Chrome and IE.

Using a different PC seems to resolve the issue.

The problem with AOL and Yahoo is they write their own browser software that requests a new cookie on every page load.

I know it sounds harsh but my advice is to change ISP..
14.5 million results for AOL cookie problems in Google.

I had the same problem but ticking the 'remember me' tab worked
