...that I actually stay bloody logged in...for at least 24hours and not have to sodding keep logging back in?!?

Not just MN. Many other sites offer this facility, but it all seems a bit hit and miss as to whether it does what it says on the tin.

So AIBU to expect to stay logged in when I've elected to do so?

It's probably your browser settings. What are you using?

Smidge001 · 10/12/2014 11:07

I agree! Drives me insane. Only get it for mumsnet myself, on the ipad. It's fine on the iPhone, but on the iPad it won't stay logged in at all. Bloody annoying.

HappenstanceMarmite · 10/12/2014 11:09

I'm on Safari on either iPhone or iPad. But I get to stay on other sites once I've ticked the box.

Any advice re settings welcome though Smile

*on SOME other sites. As I mentioned, hit and miss

I stay logged in, unless I clear my data and cookies. After that I have to log in again on all sites.

HappenstanceMarmite · 10/12/2014 11:47

Yes that is how I expect it to work Duchess. I haven't done that for a long time so don't know why in being logged out Sad

ScrambledeggLDCcakeBOAK · 10/12/2014 15:26

Me too, also facebook won't stay logged in. This has all happened since I did an apple download on my iPad.

Go into Safari in Settings and make sure you have not blocked cookies.

(MNHQ told me what to do a while ago.Xmas Grin )

Do you have your security settings under internet options set so that you delete cookies and temp files if you close down?
I do, and get logged out of eerything everytime I shut down.

NoLongerJustAShopGirl · 10/12/2014 15:50

If you use different devices then it will log you out on "the other" one..

plecofjustice · 10/12/2014 16:18

It's a cookie. If you've set your device to remove cookies on close (usually under your privacy settings) your login will not persist.

HappenstanceMarmite · 10/12/2014 16:35

Thanks everyone.

No I have not set to delete history etc. my cookies are set to keep on all sites I visit. Facebook and Ebay (as an example) stay logged in, it's just MN...plus the odd other site that I don't use on a regular basis.
