Allan Bell Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 It used to be that I was always logged on to Alamy. Now, after inadvertantly logging out, I am required to log in every time I open the website and I cannot find the button to click to keep me permanently logged in as way back when. I am still permanently logged into the forum site despite logging out on purpose the other day then logging back in. Anyone having same problem and how do I solve it?

Phil Robinson Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Me too. It's been like that for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 For me, it's the other way around. I'm always logged into alamy, but have to keep logging into the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hi Allan I seem to remember that on the log in page where they ask for username and password there was a tiny box bottom LEFT which if you clicked it kept you logged in? Still there? Cheers Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy deWitt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 No Kumar, no little boxes that keep you logged in.... I have the same problem of having to log in to Alamy each day, but no longer to the Forum. Could it be because I haven't upgraded to Yosemite or do things like that not matter?? Thank you, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 No problems here. I remain permanently logged-in to both Alamy and the forum. I use Firefox if that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - just tried Firefox and yes, I'm straight in. Looks like a Chrome problem. Well, there's a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 When I'm on the My Alamy page in Chrome, the address at the top is "secure.alamy.com,MyAlamy.aspx?login=1" On Firefox it's "secure.alamy.com,MyAlamy.aspx", without the login bit on the end. If you try pasting the second into the Chrome search box, it automatically adds the login bit. It must be some Chrome security setting, but I can't work out what.

Darryl Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My bookmark is the latter, "https://secure.alamy.com/MyAlamy.aspx" For me, the logout issue seems to be random. Been to the site many times today, and just now was the first login, It does happen at least once a day and yes, using Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks for all the replies. No Kumar the little tick box is not there. Should have mentioned I am using Safari on my iMac. Allan EDIT: Here's a good one, not related but I have to mention it. Tried to login to an online bank account with a well known bank. Their security auto logoff was logging me out within 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes of no action on the site. I emailed them with a request it be looked into. They replied I, "should be using a standard PC and not a Mac product." This even though I had successfully logged into my account with them from my Mac in the past. Boy are they going to get a reply and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have been having this type of log in issue for months, as I mainly use my ipad to view account and forum I assumed it stemmed from an IOS update some while back. I no longer have the keep logged in tick box either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Windows 10 + Firefox. Don't know how this came about, but no log-in required any more. My guess is it's the cookie and privacy settings of the browser. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
