log outs

I'm being logged out every few minutes which makes it hard to respond to posts.

Manually log out, then clear your cookies for this site. Close the tab/window for good measure, and then come back and log in, ticking the box to remember you. That should clear up the issue.

What browser/OS are you using?

Firefox 6.0 but it would occasionally be a problem with earlier versions of firefox.

Yeah, probably a cookie issue. Let me know how it goes.

You'll find the setting in Options -> Privacy (tab) -> Remove individual cookies (link) -> type: "pentaxforums" at the top, then highlight and remove all the entries that it finds.

You may also want to clear the cache while you're in there: Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Clear Now (button).

Then just restart your browser and log in, with the box ticked to log you in automatically.

Thanks. I did it. I'll report back later (especially if it fails

)
