Just courious, why is it that when I log in (first) then create or respond to another post, then click on the submit button I always get an error message telling me that I'm not logged in??
Does this happen to other people?

In the far top right do you get a message that says, "Welcome, AEROCOOK", then goes on to tell you when you were last on and if you have any PMs?

If not, you are truly not logged on. If you do have that message and still can't post (how did you do the above?) please use the "contact us" icon to tell IT about it.

Good luck. :)

Or if you are like me (slow typer) it will log you out after a while at least that is what happens to me.

After you log in make sure you are on the main forums page and not in any specific section. Once you see the WELCOME message you should (or could) save the page with a new bookmark or under favorites depending on what browser you use.

There is a user setting that controls your log in time.....................unfortunately I can not remember where its at :redface::redface:..................Some one may be along that can give you the correct directions.

You might also lose your login if you run a crud scrapper like Ad-Aware or some other spy-ware cleanup program; or routinely pull down "Tools" then "Internet Options" and "Delete" or otherwise somehow delete your recent browser cookies (assuming Internet Explorer). Just a thought.
