to expect that when I tick the "Keep me logged" box

[HappenstanceMarmite]

...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?

*title should read "logged IN

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

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.

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

*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.

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

I keep getting logged out on my iPhone.

Well I have just logged in again! to say I agree.

It so bloody annoying grrr!

Only on mumsnet on iPad

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. )

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.

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

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.

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.
