welcome to the forum!

You puter is deleting the cookies everytime you turn it off, you have to check how it 's configurated in Internet Options.

Only time I ever have to re-log in is after they do site maintenance.

I have found that if I goto the site while maintenance is being done (and see that maintenance message), I have to log in the next time I go on the site.  If I don't happen to goto the site during the maintenance period, I never have to log in again (unless of course I open the web site during maintenance time).

Question for Moderators or Glenn: Why is that?

Same here.. :-/

I wondered the same thing, not a big deal but always questioned it.

If you see the maintenance notification, you are automatically logged out.

No to seem like a smart @$$, but is there anyway I could see the maintenance notification, but not be logged out?

Not by my definition, but you may be thinking of something different.

You cannot get in during maintenance functions.  Sorry, but it will cause havoc if you could.  Hence, you are "logged out".  It may or may not actually log you out such that you need to log back in once mainentance is over.  I don't know, because I'm the only one that stays logged in during maintenance.

I definitely understand not being able to "get in" during maintenance mode, but if I happen to open the web page during maintenance mode, I am logged out so that the next time I open the web site, and it isn't in maintenance mode, I have to physically goto the log in in order to see personal messages, images in posts, etc.  It is not a big deal, but since I am up late, I usually hit that maintenance mode every night, hence causing me to log back in the next time I goto the site.  Obviously a very minor inconvenience compared to all the other great benefits I receive from this site,  but I was just wondering if there was a way to shut people out during maintenance mode, but not physically log them out.

No, I'm sorry, there isn't.  Apologies for the inconvenience.

So, what little secret are we being kept from that goes on during maintenance mode?

Ok, ya, you caught me.  I've been keeping a BIG secret from you all these years.  I'm ready to confess, however.  So, here it is, in all its glory, what goes on during "maintenance":

IT WILL GO OUT IF YOUR INTERNET CACHE IS DELETED. Only if you saved you password with your browser though.
