Auto login inconsisent?

Hey guys,

I look at the forum from various places - work PC, home PC, Iphone. Sometimes I go to the site link, sometimes type into browsers, sometimes click links in emails - a whole variety of methods. Now the thing is, occasionally it will log me in automatically, but most of the time it won't. There's no pattern at all. "Keep me logged in" is always ticked but it's widely inconsistent. Any ideas why? No biggy, just hate having to retype my password all the time, especially on my phone!

Since the site up grade a few years ago mine has been doing the same thing. Interestingly mine only does it at home, my phone logs in everytime and work did (until I left it on over night and found the next day the site had been blocked :( )
I don't have to type my password everytime, just double left click in the user name box, select my name and it auto fills the password. But I do have to do it everytime I log in at home. If I leave it logged in and come back in an hour or so, it has logged me out and I need to start again :lol:
No biggy really just annoying. Maybe it is a SA thing, lol

Could be. I have my computer and phone auto login and don't have any issues with them.

Tried clearing cookies etc and it's still bizarre. The Iphone uses Safari. At work IE8 and home IE8. Very inconsistent! :)

I'm in SA and don't have any problems logging in from phone or PC

but... I do have a problem on my (Android) phone, where it cuts off the right hand couple of words of each line on each post.
to clarify, i see everything, except the far right of each post.
Having my phone on landscape doesn't help

no biggie, I just have to guess what people write, and if I'm really keen, I need to jump on the PC at work
