I had this problem before yesterday's update but now it seems worse. I get logged out every half hour or hour or so. I selected 'auto login' on my profiles page and I have cleared my cache numerous times, which worked to fix it before but not this time. Help!

What is auto login supposed to do?  I've had it selected in my profile from the day I signed up, and it doesn't seem to do anything.

It logs you in automatically when you visit the site, so you don't have to type in your username and password every time. It uses cookies to do this and it used to work for me every time but now it doesn't.

BTW, GB, in my post above I meant to say I deleted my cookies, not cleared my cache. I don't think clearing the cache wouldn't do anything for this problem.

I've had the same problem as well. Everytime my screensaver comes on or when I browse the web it logs me out.

I havent had this problem yet...

Try clearing out your ar15.com cookie (nuke it!) then loading up the site and going into your profile... make sure autologin is selected and then save it.

Should be ok.

How would I go about getting rid of the ar15.com "cookie"?

Right click on the start bar and hit explore . Search thru the folders until you find the cookies folder open it and find the www.ar15.com cookie then right click and delete it .

I nuked my cookie, came back to the site, went into my profile, selected auto login, and clicked submit.  Left the site.  Came back to the site.  I still have to put in my username and password.  I use IE6.  Any more suggestions?  This has never worked for me.

I would go back to IE 5.5 [:D] no problems there.

I nuked my cookie and reset my profile (again) last night and so far so good. I just logged in this morning and auto login worked. Will let you know if I have any more problems. Thanks.

What are your cache settings? Does your name show up in the user list on the forums even if the boxes show up asking for your username and password?
