I seem to be having trouble lately staying logged on. For example I log on and go to a chosen sub-catagory then open one of the threads and there is no problem. Next, I go to another thread to open and the log on comes on again not even 5 minutes into me being already logged on to Bladeforums. It seems that some threads I can open and others I cannot. I visit sub catagories where I know I am able to view and post so I do not know why this is happening.

Sometimes when I go to post a response or thread and finish typing then hit the enter or submit button the screen will pop up for me to log on again. I do not know why this is happening and would very much like help so I can trouble shoot if it is on my end. Thank you.

When you log on, are you clicking the little check box next to "Remember me?" up where you fill in your User ID & password?
 
The number one fix for forum wierdness seems to be to clear your cache and cookies and restart your computer. Corrupt cookies are the root of all evil.
Give it a shot.
 
I do not check the box remember as I have never done and it seemed to work fine in the past.

I run my antivirus program and clear everything. This maybe a very stupid question but how does one get corrupt cookies on this web-site? I thought this site was pretty safe from malicious items? Thanks for the imput fellas!
 
Okay I took the above mentioned advice and still I click on some threads and the screen comes up for me to log in...mind you that I already logged on when I first arrived to the bladeforums site. It seems some threads do not open for me whilest others due. Can this be because the poster of that thread has something wierd or funky on it that my computer don't like? I do not know why this is happening it is very frustrating to say the least. Please help I do not know how to remedy this issue? Thank you.
 
Some of the forums you won't be able to log into without a paid subscription.

You do need to read the tech support section of the FAQ for more information. Most of the problems you've described are listed there
 
Your antivirus wont clear all cookies only malicious ones.
anyways, if you havent already done so, go to and click on:

TOOLS-on the upper right hand of the IE taskbar. (assuming you use IE)

in the bottom of the pop up menu click on:INTERNET OPTIONS

You should then already be on the general tab and you should see an area where it says:
BROWSING HISTORY- check the box to clear browsing history upon exit and hit the delete button to clear your temp files,cookies and browsing history. it will only take a few seconds and then you should restart your computer and you should be good to go.

There is a box when you log off from bladeforums that says "all cookies cleared" but you could still have cookies from other sites you've visited on your system that interfere with the ones here and cause you problems such as you've experienced. the above may solve it.

hope this helps.
 
Karda, I have tried that turned off and on my computer and still it does this. I only go to the forums where I am allowed but for instance I go to the WSS and open a thread then it does not let me. But I go back and open another thread in the subforum and it is okay.

I will search more in the tech support section of the FAQ to find out more where I can.

Thanks for your help guys!

Well, if you have your cookies and javascript enabled and at the proper settings, have deleted your cookies and done everything under the "why can't i log in" section of the Faq's then i'd suggest contacting service and support, maybe they can figure it out.

i do get logged out at times myself, usually because i've hit the back button too many times, or committed some other operator error. Or sometimes it's just cuz i'm here at peak times and the forum is being evil about being overloaded.

Sorry i couldnt help ya ,bud, much luck in resolving your problem.
