are either of you logging in from the same or different computers?

If i log in from my mothers, my own logs me out.

Try changing your passwords incase someone else is logging in with your account from somewhere else.

Same as FAQ...have already all of the above last week, several times.

However "remember me" is not working on several other sites either.

FAQinglovely · 12/05/2009 20:21

have already done all of the above - and it's still logging me out (all other websites that I "keep me logged in" on are fine though )

It sounds like you have set Firefox only to accept a certain type of cookie.

Look at Tools->Options->Privacy and make sure 'Accept Cookies From Sites' and '[Keep Until] They Expire' are selected, and 'Always clear my private data when I close Firefox' isn't. Click the 'Help' button on that dialog to find out more about all these settings.

ok.

Empty your Temp Files, delete your history and cookies.

Then run a virus/spyware check

add mumsnet to your secure sites

Then reboot.

see what happens.

FAQ, KnickKnack: are you still having problems with this?

FAQinglovely · 11/05/2009 17:23

Knickknack yes I remember an update..........but I haven't clicked to update yet........

Parmageddon · 10/05/2009 10:16

Not having this with Mumsnet, but can't automatically log in to MSN even though I have clicked box.

KnickKnack · 10/05/2009 10:13

Having been frustrated thought about it a bit more...

I don't have firefox set to remember my passwords (don't like the idea of all my passwords available to anyone on my PC at the click of a button)
So my problem is with sites like mumsnet (where its mumsnet remembering the password, not firefox), or sites like hotmail and facebook where it normally remembers my username but not password.

Marla, if it is, the universe is surely wrong

FAQ do you remember an update on firefox last week??

GentleOtter · 09/05/2009 18:15

Firefox has been weird today and it crashed at one point. A message came up on the monitor to say they were experiencing difficulties.
I reset my settings by bashing my forehead on the keyboard several times.....

Glad you'res sorted FabulousBakerGirl

Yes, stareyed: you do need to log in to search now.

KnickKnack and FAQ: Sorry that you're still having problems. If it's not resolved by the end of the weekend, do let us know and we'll see if Tech has any clever ideas...

staryeyed · 09/05/2009 16:28

me too, and do we log in just to search threads now?

FAQinglovely · 09/05/2009 16:25

Been having this problem for a week or so now, on Firefox, have deleted cookies, (several times) and yet it still doesn't remember me and also logs me out after so long if I haven't posted

Thank you

It seems to have worked.

OP posts:
KnickKnack · 09/05/2009 16:17

IE:
Look under Internet Options
Click on the General tab
In the middle of the screen there is an option to "delete cookies", just click on it.
(This mightn't be 100% right as I rarely use IE)

KnickKnack · 09/05/2009 16:15

I've tried clearing cookies again. Its still not remembering me.

IE

OP posts:
KnickKnack · 09/05/2009 16:08

Yes, its still happening
I've tried clearing cookies.

I don't think its a specific mumsnet problem, as its still happening with hotmail on firefox too.

Oh dear, FabolousBakerGirl, that must be a pain.

Did you try clearing your cookies?
