Trouble staying logged in

IE 8 on the PC where I've noticed it.

Firefox 3.5.7 here, no problems. However, I do remember that I have had this problem in the past, maybe a year - year and a half ago I had this issue with Firefox. But then it went away, dont know what I did to solve it.

Well, now that we need your expertise, you fall short!

Here's what they tell me:

Quote:

Close all browser windows/tabs except for one.

Logout of your site.

Close the final browser window.

Delete the cookies for your site.

Log back in.

This issue only occurs if you have cookie corruption and the new one fails to overwrite the old one. You can cause this simply by having a site open in two windows/tabs at the same time and closing a tab with the old cookies after one with the new cookies. It predominantly happens in browsers that store cookie information in memory, as is all of them that have a Private Browsing feature.

Let me try a couple things before you go to that trouble.

I've made some changes, so far vBulletin tech support has not been a lot of help.

If you are finding yourself logged out repeatedly, feel free to post here and include what browser and version, thanks.
