Signing In.

I'm on Photo Net 3 to 5 times a day. On at least 2 of those occasions I have to go back from my Forum site and sign in. What the hell is going on. Is this just to force me to see Google, Facebook, etc. If so I'm not interested and will not be here for long..

I also visit PN several times a day but I do NOT have a sign-in problem. I have to sign in about once a DAY, unless I go to another computer. If I sign in on another, it appears that the system signs me out of the first computer. In that case, when I return to the first computer, I have sign in again. As long as I stay on one computer, I have to sign in about once a day.

 

Unless you are "computer hopping"', I suspect your problem is a user problem, not a PN problem.

I too am getting more and more frustrated with the ultra short login time. This is the only site of the many I frequent that does such a thing.

Hi, Tony - A few questions for you: which browser are you using? Are you turning off your computer between visits? And is this a problem you've had ever since the transition to the new site, or did it develop recently? (and if so, when?)

I also have to sign in once a day. No I don't turn off my computer. It's been happening ever since the redesign and Glenn has confirmed that the programmers think this is necessary. Signing in takes me away from wherever I was on PN and brings me to my portfolio page. Edited April 7, 2017 by Norma Desmond

I too switch off at night. Clicking on the icon on my screen brings me to my front page (Biography,) and I don't have to log in again.

John, you quoted me and said this so I want to be sure you understood me. I DO NOT switch off at night, and I am often automatically signed off in the middle of a session on PN. It's inconvenient, especially on mobile devices.

Indeed, that's right, just to point out that even when switching off, I do not have the problem with CHROME (nor with my laptop), but I conceive how that must be inconvenient with a mobile, I have no experience there.

I use Safari on an iPad and Firefox on an iMac. I have NEVER been automatically signed out during a session.

I'm happy for you, Ben.

Was on this morning, computer running since, just had to sign in again. Doesn't happen every day, just often enough to be annoying. Not a big deal, just kind of strange.

By the way, for the last couple of days I've had to sign in 3 times each day on my iPhone.

The problem has been happening for at least 3 weeks. The really frustrating aspect is to click on logout only gives a fraction of a second to get to it before it disappears. Really makes the site less attractive. I have never had this problem on any site. I hope you can correct it soon.

Constantly having to reset portfolio cover photo - it doesn't 'save' even though it states that it has...

bob_bill, why are you trying to logout?

I never log out. But I just checked the procedure. If I click on my user name (at top right of a forum page), a small, vertical window opens with several choices (profile, my content, etc.). That window STAYS OPEN until I click on something. The last option, at the bottom of the window is log out.
