Signing in

Postby up148 » Sat Dec 13, 2025 9:10 am

In the last couple of days I have to sign in before every post. I can view without signing in, but not post. It used to be by clicking the box to stay logged in you could ...for months. Anyone else experiencing this?

Butch, this ancient construct is on fragile ground. I have another account that I cannot access anymore. It makes me write in “OGR Sucks” to gain access after “too many attempts”. I lost access to Erik C Lindgren 2 years ago. Make darn sure you don’t loose your password here on MTJ.

I have to sign in before adding each post. Been that way for years. one key stroke, and "autofill."

Yeah, that is what's happening to me. I have to sign in before each and every post.

I agree about the password Erik, except I can now contact Lee off forum to have him get me back in if I have a problem. Not the same on a car forum I belong to. I lost years of posts because someone stole my password. Administrators tried to help, but it was apparent they were not computer gurus either, after a month I just rejoined earlier this year. :(

I never have to sign in - once in - stay signed in for months. No explanation, and no complaints either.

Curious why that might be - operating systems, device, something else?

Solitude is only a good idea if you have the right people along to share it.

Very likely, another one of many cross platform handshake issues. There are a million ways to play in this pool.

I just noticed - I have to sign in every single time on the iPad (one touch, and autofill) but I stay signed in on the big Dell computer.

I haven't had to re-sign in for years, but starting this week I now have to sign in before every post. Not just to sign on the forum and then make my posts, but now I have to sign in for every post I want to make. Must be at my end.

Anyone pose a question to Bill as to what might cause these issues?

I just rebooted the computer (it's been many weeks) and I'm back to not having to log in except one time and it appears I can stay logged in as before. User error as it most often is with computers. :oops:
