Maybe it's just my systems, but I find myself having to log back in almost every time I visit. This means that many times I glance, but don't contribute, since I have complex passwords. So, maybe the 'log me in automatically' button doesn't actually work for a lot of people, and that's where they are?

Sometimes ya can overlook simple things; didja clear yer computers cache?

Ya might consider, also, changing the password to re-set it.

No problems with Safari for me here. I always check the box to keep me logged in. It stays until I clear my history or cache. Then I have to log back in again. I don't post as much mainly due to a huge workload and the fact I was finishing my latest solo recording and recording a 2 other long projects since last fall. I also have been too poor to need to research any gear. Trying to get by with what I have and even letting some things I don't use much go and NOT buying anything else with the money. I know, gasp!

Chrome here right now. Has done it on multiple computers with multiple browsers over the past few years.

Weird.

I always look at these kinda issues like I would any other trouble-shoot.

Have you tried changing your password? User name?

I have to log in everytime on pretty much everything EXCEPT my phone. Which totally fucks with me cause that's the one thing I would expect to not work. :hammer:

Also, just because I just now discovered them after like 10 years on this board:

Why would it be that no other site logs me out with such frequency? What are the other forums doing differently?

I get logged out too most of the time. However, that's not such a big issue for me. I remember my user/pass. If you have a complex system of user/pass, i would suggest looking into 1password. It quite handily handles all your passwords while you just have to remember one master password.

I don't think this really explains the exodus. It would be crazy if that were the only reason that posts have dropped precipitously. I think what Tape Op started has spread pretty thin over the various options out there these days

FWIW, Chrome, if ya let it, saves passwords and user names.

I find it handy with forum sites, Amazon, etc.

That said, are y'all cleaning yer cookies routinely? (Do you even allow cookies in the first place?)

I use CCleaner what allows you to mark some cookies to be saved.
