DU Community Help
Related: About this forumI have to log in every time when I go on DU, even though I am a long time member and current
donor to DU. It's quick process but I never had to log in before so I don't know what is happening.

(64,521 posts)I need to know for logging back in. As long as I am not missing anything I just view it as a minor annoyance (with myself).
Thanks for filling that info in. I was wondering why it was that I needed to log in.
Oh, well...

Im occasionally logged off because of phone update or whatever, but that button will solve your problem.

(9,896 posts)Then when I go to log in it says I'm already logged in.
Just now, I forced a log out then logged back in, checking the box to remain in. So far, so good.

(12,346 posts)I use various cookie "auto delete" add ons to Firefox, and I lose the login now and then. I try to "whitelist" DU.
Still experimenting with this stuff.
On Firefox, the "bypass paywalls clean" extension seems to help in general. A lot of sites keep a cookie to record your "free" quota of visits before they paywall you ( called a soft paywall). IIRC, the extension regularly clears cookies of such sites. And more.

(64,521 posts)IT department at my grad school and he updated our system and helped us get the best technology we needed (at our level of competence and current needs). It was a good call. As I am now researching and writing my 3rd book, writing in Word and having him convert my text into googledocs so my editor/designer could work on it.
So, long story and it has been a long ride. At last I feel competent in what I need to be competent in and we have a valuable resource in a young professional who knows and respects our needs at this point in our lives.
