What's with the forum logging me out?

All ok with sign in and retain here. Box is checked on login page "keep me signed in." Could your machines be deleting cookies?

Are you sure? The only box I see on login page is "Remember my email and password on this computer". And no, I'm not deleting cookies as all my other fora seem to remember who I am.

You don't have this site in your "trusted sites" list, do you? see: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=706438

It finally happened to me last week, but only on my laptop. I was able to remain logged in fine from two other PCs and my phone. So checked cookies and found out that on everything else i had maybe a dozen "sonycreativesoftware.com" cookies while on my laptop i had over 300. I deleted them all from the laptop, signed in once more, and it's been fine since.

Nothing worse than stale biscuits.

Well I couldn't remember the phrasing but "Remember my email and password on this computer" is the checkbox I was referring to.

Periodically I delete my entire internet cache. It gets deleted automatically when I sign off except for sites in my "favorites" list. Every once in awhile I will delete cookies from my Favorites as well. I have to remember to re-check the "do not delete favorites" box (not the exact phrasing :-)) after I've cleaned out the entire cache however.

The other night I couldn't get logged in to 'my account' here @ SCS on my video machine but using the very same password I could log in on my email machine!
I do think something was screwed up at SCS for a while. Hope its fixed.

I had trouble logging on for a few hours about 20 hours ago, and the site has been very slow on and off over the last week. Don't think it could be something to do with zillions of people busily downloading V10.0d by any chance ?

SCS have added "password confirmation as a new security enhancement made to the website. You’ll still be able to view the forums without confirming your login, but any time you go to a page that has more of your private information, you will need to confirm your login."

Initially there was a bug in that new system which sometimes resulted in a login loop .... seems to be fixed now!

In Australia we are being advised that many US internet paths are slow at the moment for some unknown reason.... certainly from here most US sites are much slower, so some slow European sites suddenly seem much faster in comparison!!!

I haven't experienced any log-in issues, (yet) but on Tues. 5-17, it was extremely sloooow, almost like having 'dial-up' again. That being said, the SCS forums have never been very fast to begin with, at least in my location. (NYC metro).
