You know those stupid questions people ask......

[Gracie]

Well this is one of em........If you don't sign out when you log off, do you stay logged on? When I shut down the lappy this morning I forgot to sign out, just switched on and didn't have to sign in. Does it matter if you don't bother signing off? something I nearly always do but I'm sure in the past when I haven't logged off I have had to sign in again when switching on

Now, if you can get your heads round that you are all a damn sight more clever than I give you credit for and if you wasn't confused when you read the title, you will be now lol

I never sign off Grace. I just shut the computer and when I open it and put my password in, I'm right back to where I was on the forum. It's always worked until now.

Most interactive websites that have the option of signing in give you the facility of ticking a box that asks "sign in automatically", or "stay signed in".

On those, the default is usually "no", so even if you didn't log off, the next time you visit the website, you are not signed in automatically.

The option to not automatically "stay signed in" seems to have disappeared from the NBN a few years ago.

If your computer can be used by other people, then it's now good practice to explicitly sign off each time you leave the site, because otherwise anyone using your computer can post on the site as though they were you, (imagine that on a work computer !).

The last few days I have to put my password in to get back as a member,never used to do that.Unsure why gives me the hump.Any ideas why?

[Liberty]

Yes, mine did the same for a few days last week & this week but seems to have sorted itself out now.

If you have ticked delete history on exiting browser this will log you out of the forum.

The last windows 10 update did tick it on my laptop but not on Jills.

When signing in to NBN there is a check box "remember me" which is ticked by default, if you don't deselect this it will keep you logged on.

There is also your internet settings page, if you look there you will find a setting to delete all saved information on close.
