I used to be able to post replies/new posts without having to log in every time. I have "remember me" (I can't remember the exact words) checked. Now most of the time (not always - kinda random) I have to relogin every time I post if I have exited the forum. I have Cookiewall set to automatically save Computing.net cookies so I don't think that's it. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Oops - Tell me I didn't type "loggin" in!

Good morning mamabear. By any chance, are you deleting "all off-line content" nightly?
That used to happen to me all the time, but I was deleting everything nightly, so that was the reason for me.

Thanks, tommyo. I'm not deleting them via IE/Properties but I confess that I'm constantly "cleaning" my computer with System Cleaner so that could have something to do with it. I'll see if that's it.

Some - on this and other Forums - complained that the latest IE Security Patch Deleted all their User Name\Passwords for Auto-Logins

I got the Patch this morning and have not experienced this

I think those who have experienced it may have Networked Computers ???

Hi Lesley and mamabear; I also installed the update, and I'm not experiencing any troubles with it, as of this writing...
I have read though, that some people are indeed having some troubles after the update installation.
Will be interesting to find out if they are networked users, who are having the difficulties with the update.
So far.....so good..... (cross my fingers!)

Me, too, mamabear!!! I have downloaded the patch also and, if I think hard (I'm a man remember!!) I believe I can put the difficulty to after the patch download?? Interesting (and, as you say, rather annoying).

Gotta love MS! My computer isn't a networked computer. It's all alone here in my house. So far, this is the only forum that I've noticed it happening in. Weird!

The plot thickens. As I mentioned, I have computing.net in the "cookies to keep" thingy in Cookiewall. A minute ago, I opened Cookiewall to delete the new cookies and I noticed a computing.net cookie in the "new" column. A different cookie from what I'm already keeping? I'll save the next one (I clicked on "delete" before I realized that the computing.net cookie was there)and see if that works.

I have three Computing.net Cookies - all different

So I guess I need to be on the lookout for one more. I wonder why this just started?

Not often,but seemingly random for me too,mamabear.

I've gone straight from posting one reply to another,and get it sometimes.I gave up on trying to figure it out.There's no way any of my cookies were deleted.

More annoying than that,is the new "highlighted feature",which by the time I start to enter text,the page refreshes on it's own,and I have to start over.Anybody got a cure for that one?

I'm not sure what you mean.

the log in problem has also been happening to me every time I try to post. its a bit annoying but not too bad

I also have been seeing the log in problem. And have made no additions or changes to the system for over a month. I have not installed the new security patch yet, so that is not all of the problem.

The first time I saw it, I went to the log in page and it showed I was already logged in, but would not let me post until I entered the ID and password again.

Seems to be working OK now, will try after I install the MS Security patch. Hope it fixes the scroll bar dropping problem I have been seeing at random after the last update a few months ago.

I too have the login problem. I haven't dl'ed the new patch yet either, so I don't think that's the problem. Also...
What is this scrolling problem you mentioned mamabear? Is it where the scroll bar keeps slipping to the bottom? I wind up refreshing my page and it stops doing it for a bit. Is that the problem you meant?
--Viv :)

And no problem now after installing the security update and rebooting. (Yet.)

Yep. The problem with the scroll bar slipping or dropping to the bottom sometimes started a few months ago. The only change done then was the IE update. Have seen it on a number of different systems with that update and heard other people complain. Opening a new window clears it for a while or rebooting helps. When it starts, if you try to pull the bar up, it halts part of the way and will not go up past some point and then drops as soon as you move the cursor away. So I just restart IE. Have not tested long enough with newest update to see if it is fixed.

I'm having the log in problem it started about a week or so ago. No updates or changes of any kind?
