+Berta Nick Zoey Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I posed this question 5+ years ago and never have gotten much of an answer. 10 years as a premium member. Why is it that even though I make the 'remember me' box, I almost ALWAYS have to log into Groundspeak. Also, why is it that when logged into Groundspeak and after clicking on the discussion tab, that I must log in once again to post anything. Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What do you mean discussion tab? As in the forums here? This is a different, and separate website, so being logged in there, doesn't mean anything at all here. It's actually a commercial product (the forums) and you and I could buy our own. So I doubt they could even make being logged in on geocaching.com automatically log you on here. As for the remember me, I don't know for sure, bit I'm sure it has something to do with your browser, and settings. Someone smarter than I should be along to help with that. Quote Link to comment
+SageTracey Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I suspect it must be in your browser and settings as I never have to re-log in. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Why is it that even though I make the 'remember me' box, I almost ALWAYS have to log into Groundspeak. google this: won't stay logged in There are a bunch of reasons that you may get logged off, and some tricks to fixing this in individual computers (such as clearing old TEMP data), which tends to be specific to Operating Systems and web browsers. Here's a little info on why you get logged out: The log-in state is "remembered" in a small text file browsers store on your computer called a "cookie." Browsers can be set to block or delete cookies automatically, which means [the web site] has no way of knowing you want to remain logged in. To change this behavior requires knowing which browser (and add-ons that might affect cookies) you're using, but generally it's: Tools, Internet Options, Privacy, and set privacy to Medium or lower (higher privacy means you do NOT want to have any data stored on your computer) -- Also, Internet Options, Browsing History, and uncheck the option to delete history on exit (depending on the browser you can leave this check then customize what gets deleted, that is, you can choose to leave Google and YouTube cookies while still deleting the rest of the browser history).

Keystone Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching.com Website feature suggestion and bug reporting forum to the "How do I...?" forum. Thank you to those who have posted great tips and advice so far. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 sometimes when I log into my smartphone then into my computer then look back at my smartphone I see I was kicked off when I logged in on my computer. It doesn't happen all the time but it gets frustrating when it does happen. Quote Link to comment
+uxorious Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So I doubt they could even make being logged in on geocaching.com automatically log you on here. I may be missing something here? I only need to log on to one or the other, and hit remember me, to access both the forums and geocaching's web site. Logging on one, logs me on the other. Quote Link to comment
