Reimar Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is a minor but annoying problem that started recently for me. Firefox remembered my log in details so that when I click my bookmark for the forum, I was automatically signed in. Now I have to click Sign In every time I start a session. The Browser remembers my log in details, so I just click Sign In. Why can't it sign me in automatically anymore? I searched but couldn't find an answer. I tried to delete all my Alamy cookies, to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm on firefox and just leave a tab open on the forum so it does not need to sign in, so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 What is strange to me is that my log in to the Alamy site is automatic. But not the forum. Same username and password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisken Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 When you enter your details to sign in, isn't there a little box down in the left hand corner to tick if you want to stay signed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Smart Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You only stay signed in until you log off. I have to sign in every time I open the forum (I use Chrome). Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You only stay signed in until you log off. I have to sign in every time I open the forum (I use Chrome). Sheila +1 also using Chrome, annoying feature needing a fix from Alamy. Regards Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I use Firefox and have had this problem in the past. If you log into Forum and then back page to get back to Alamy you lose the log in connection. If you click on Alamy top left hand corner you revert to Alamy and may then reenter Forum without the need to log in. Therafter you may back page without losing the log in. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 also use chrome and didn't notice the problem of being logged out of here until yesterday. Just tried what Dov said above and it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm on IE10 and I never log out, but sometimes the next day i'm still logged in and others it's kicked me out! Go figure as some people say! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm on IE8 Always logged in unless alamy has been fiddling. From time to time I have to log out and back in again just to update the images total under my avatar. (That is me by the way - when I was younger and more handsome.)

losdemas Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have a 'pinned' tab in Firefox set to My Alamy, where I'm permanently signed in. From there, I just click on the link to 'Contributor forum' and Bingo, here I am (again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
