Always being asked to log-in.
« on: Sunday 11 June 06 01:33 BST (UK) »
I am always having to re-activate my details just about with every visit to rootschat. 

It drives me nuts as I have to look up details each time - poor memory and multiple passwaords don't help.

I have never received an activation email either.

Is this usual practice?

Hello Joy

I am no expert, but I seem to remember a box that could be checked which said "Always stay logged in".  Silly question - did you check this box on logging in?

I don't think you could join in without receiving your activation e-mail, but perhaps others will correct me.

I share your frustration with remembering mulitple passwords, and tend to stay logged in all the time. Hopefully someone else can help with your query.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hope you don't mind my adding on Arranroots.

Joy, are you perhaps one of those people who "tidy up" each day before they log off - ie do you delete your cookies and clear your temporary files?  If so then your cookie will be deleted each time you do this and your computer won't remember your login.
