Login issues
It's not THAT big of a deal, but I have had to login four or five times so far today.
I have not closed out my browser at any point.
Is there a limit to how long you can be logged in before you have to log yourself in again?
If it matters, I have been using Internet Explorer.

I have had a similar experience, however, it was when I had multiple pages open, some of which I hadn't logged into. When I was switching between pages I got the log in message. I am using firefox version 3.0.13
On the old site, I never had to log in, even after closing my browser or restarting my computer. I think I only logged in to the old site once or twice after joining, and that was when I purged my browser history; however, I have lost count of how many times I have had to log in today alone.
I thought checking "Remember me" meant that the site would "remember me," and that I wouldn't have to type in my username and password every time.
HI black, this is rather a nuisance. We are working with firefox here and all the new items are tried out on that system. I cannot log in with Chrome, but firefox and explorer work, let's see if we can find somebody who can help you there.
I have a similar issue but in a different way. Please someone help me. I use my laptop to usually login to spanishdict.com and I do my lessons just fine, however, when I use my PC it would not let me log in. It keeps asking me to log in. I tried clearing the cache, cookies and all that but still no luck. I have even tried using internet explorer but I still cannot log in.
I never have to relogin...try to check the "keep me logged in" box on the login page.
Most sites will cancel your session after some period (determined by the site's policy) after a period of inactivity. I thought that we did too (but, perhaps, it was that I was in the habit of logging out after a "session").
Multiple pages for the same site present different problems. In my experience, if I log in (on one page) and then open a new page/tab/window, the subsequent page(s) reflect my already logged-in status. This is reasonable because the site knows only that the message came from your computer (it does not know that you have opened a new page/window/tab [or, for that matter, a session in a different browser]). Strictly speaking, it doesn't even know that it comes from your computer but, rather, that it comes from your IPA. So If you have multiple computers on a LAN that are using address aliasing, logging in with one should cause them to all be recognized as "logged in". I've never actually tried this but I will.
I am using Chrome, and sometimes I have to log in again. But as I clicked the "remember me", I only have to actually click on log in and I get logged in automatically. I don't have to type in anything.
