I've been a member of the forums, even longer than my membership states, I lost login and email address at one point so re-joined. Ive never really had any issues with the forums. But recent months it seems to have various issues since some of the changes etc have occurred,

 

I access the forums, from different computers regularly, and have always had the stay logged in option enabled and this has always been fine. Now I find just closing the browser will result in no access again, I cant see any of the forums unless I log in again(this was possible before without logging in) the forum and download area require separate login.

 

its becoming a bit annoying everytime I pick my ipad, or phone, or laptop, or fsx pc, that I have to go through the you don't have permission thing, then login, then still say that so click on left part of banner, to eventually get to my forum post! and repeat again a bit later when I look again!

 

I have AVSIM.NET and COM in trusted sites, any suggestions, or is this just a feature of the newer upgrades to forum??

We don't log you out when you close your browser, so it sounds like something your computers are doing (possibly deleting cookies whenever you close the browser, or are you browsing in private mode?).

 

Also, you no longer need to login to view the forums.  Are you still having this issue?
