How long do you stay logged in for when you login and check remember me. I find I'm getting logged out about every hour or so. Is there anything I need to check in profile to change this? Thanks!

I can not remember last time I logged in, so it has been months.
No tricks, just ticking "Remember me" and allow cookies from the site of course.

In your browser settings, perhaps you have the "delete cookies when I close browser" setting on?

In Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> Settings -> uncheck Cookies.

And of course: Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> check Accept cookies from sites.

Exactly what I was going to recommend Dz, I just realized this was wrong on my netbook the other day and couldn't figure out why it was different than my desktop and this was the answer. If you are using Firefox or any other browser that clears cookies, this is probably your answer.

I had this problem a while back. It was due to a corrupt cookie file.
The cookie file is located is %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*your profile*/cookies.sqlite

The easy way to fix is to simply delete the cookie file, a new one will be created when you next start firefox. Obviously you lose all cookies and you have to log in to all your sites again etc. But it should now remember the log in's.

You can also try to salvage the non-corrupt cookies from the file. Here is a guide how: How to recover a corrupted Firefox cookies.sqlite ยป ghidinelli.com

Thanks for the tips - I've deleted the cookies file and I'll see how I make out ... but I don't think it worked as when I reopened firefox my username was rembered and I was logged in ... which you would think wouldn't be the case had the cookies been removed. Ah well.

The remembering your user name is not a cookie, just a feature of Firefox.

You probably just allowed Firefox to keep your username/password. A feature independent of cookies.
