Logging In

[fljoe0]

I'm having to log in every time I come back to the site. Is this happening to everyone else or is it me?

I'm not complaining - just would like to know if my browser is doing something funky. This has been going on for a few days now. Before, if I checked the box to stay logged in, I didn't have to log back in after I closed and opened my browser but now I'm having to log in every time.

This happens after so many Taco Tuesday postings. You'll be granted your original 'stay-logged-in' status after tacos are delivered to certain members.

This is one for Jordan. There might have been a software update that affected log in.

Happens to me too.

 

[pegasus216]

Me too.

I haven't had any issues with it so far. *fingers crossed*

This sounds strangely familiar to all the times when I call the cable company and they say 'Turn off your computer. Unplug your modem and your computer. Wait for 30 seconds. Plug them back in. Turn on your computer.' I think they secretly are laughing at all of those people that they can get to do this stuff to.

Turning it off and back on again fixes > 50% of all technology-related problems. It sounds like a joke, but we only laugh when people don't believe us.

Didn't work.

Same as floe. Attempted Jordan's first set of directions. Still need to log in each time. Not a real problem, thankful I "can" log in! (same issue on tablet)

The problem might be caused by the fact that we're now making an encrypted connection mandatory. Try going to https://stephenking.com/xf instead of http://stephenking.com/xf in your browser window. (Even if you go to http, you'll be redirected, but the redirection might be causing the issue.)

I always log in, then log out when I'm done, so I would never notice that issue. Are the new encrypted connections because of the Russian hacking?

Nothing to do with the Russians; everything to do with impending Google changes. Frankly, if someone hacked this site, they'd get nothing of value.

If this site was hacked, my whereabouts on Tuesdays would be uncovered.

I'm using this site: Logging In | The StephenKing.com Message Board

Here's what you can try:

1. Log out

I tried both, but can never stay logged in. Is deleting the cookies enough or must you do more?

Am I the only one still having this problem? It's been like this for a long time now - couple of months.

Don't know if it has been asked before but are you clicking on the little 'Stay Logged IN' box right underneath the log in area?
