Log In Time Limit

[MBFD]

Is there a stay logged in time limit?
Numerous times I find myself logged out. Usually I don't realize it till I want to add to a posted thread. It says Welcome MBFD and the Log Out which to me indicates that I should still be logged in.

Yesterday I had typed up a new thread and when I hit the Submit it said that I was not logged in. I lost my typed up thread - errrr.
I retyped it in Word, logged in and copied it to a new thread.

Remember I'm just a displaced Missouri dirt farmer but I occasionally experience that. There really isn't a log in time limit but sometimes the internet cyber wolves or whatever they are kick you out. I was missing a lot of info and not seeing things using Explorer, (not that Ponce De Leon fella or Columbus or anything but the little search engine that couldn't that lives in my computer.
I'd tried the little Firefox dude before and because he was different I got frustrated and went back. I had some other issues and John recommended I try the little Firefox dude again and alas my issues went away. It's a new trick for an old dog but I'm getting along ok.

I hope this weren't to technical for ya, I try to stay humble on this computer gee willikers stuff.

I'm sure Justin, or JohnH probably got a more meaningful explanation that I wouldn't understand two words of but maybe you would.

Short answer is no time limit, ask my wife.

Would you go through that one more time, Bawanna?

Would you go through that one more time, Bawanna?

I wish I could but I'm plumb tuckered after all that heavy thinking stuff.

It's something to do with Vbulletins and some of them searchers not getting along. Maybe like spanish and french wasting their time trying to prove the world was flat. What did they ever decide on that, haven't heard.

[Bawanna]

Well now look what you done to me. I formulated a few of my highly intelligent and helpful responses only to have the crystal ball tell me I had an 404 error, almost like the heartbreak of psoriasis I'm thinking. How could psoriasis start with a "P", don't make a lick of sense.
Anyhow I hit the back button and it took me back to where I was and when I hit the post button again it worked just fine and dandy.
Just did the same thing on a PM response and it was pretty quick, (I can type real quick for a manly Missouri farm boy) so it wasn't a time issue I don't think.
Maybe I'm the one who needs help here after all.

Jocko will be along momentarily to tell me I'm exactly right on needing help, I can always count on him.......

I havenever ha dit happen here but it has happened many timnes before on some of my other forums. I guess they are sending me a message???? I am joined at the hip with Bawanna, so if he goes , I go..Odd thing about this was that we were not joned at the hip by birth, we just like each other so fokking much that we just did it. Mind u,no hospital was involed. we both got drunk one night (feel no pain) and we sewed ourselves up at the hip (17# test Stren fishing line). Not a bad thing but when one has to take a dump, it kinda puts the other in a no win position...

[Bawanna]

I'm absolutely positive without reservation that that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me.
This would conclusively explain Jocko's left handedness and my right handedness and me always having to ride in the darn side car. Somethings in life just aren't fair, I wanna drive once in a while.

[jocko]

well u know I do what I can to make life better for you, BRO!!

I don't know of a time out. I've left it up in the middle of a post and gone to dinner and it's been right there waiting when I returned. So, I'm going to guess the answer is no.

Of course the answer is conditional on you accessing the internet directly from your browser, without an AOL or other service in between. I think some of those have timeouts.

PS: If you haven't, you might want to check the remember me box at log in.

I'm not sure but I think that is what I was trying to say in my informative post earlier, I forgot that Browser word. As usual you said it so much nicer and understandable than me. I sometimes don't even understand myself.
The little firefox and the explorer are browsers right. No that can't be right, you said direct from your browser without AOL which is apparently a foreign spy agency or service in between. Crap I feel a headache coming on again.

[OldLincoln]

Yup.... AOL (aka "Организация американских шпионов") is a spy organization that lures unsuspecting users, especially those who have limited experience, into a web where they end up telling you.... "Do not adjust your monitor..... You are entering the AOL Twilight Zone."

Worst part is even if you want to escape (and everybody eventually does) they have embeded little applications that grab what you are doing and makes it disappear. A sure sign is when you have typed out a post and hit the submit key and it disappears. Sometimes some music starts playing, sometimes not.

I tried to save some relatives but couldn't get them out in time. I didn't even get to say goodby before they were swept into the darkness.

You should not be getting logged out. Not sure what is happening with that. Does it matter what browser you use?

[JFootin]

Just to add my 2¢, I have found the Mozilla Firefox browser to work much better than Internet Explorer here, formats pages better and stuff. I have never gotten logged out. Only thing is, it seems that, lately, it has been getting real slow to load a lot of Web pages. Of course, Kahrtalk always takes quite a few seconds, but that isn't where I am encountering difficulty. On a lot of other websites, it seems to get stuck trying to load a page and I have to hit F5 2 or 3 times to get it fully loaded and displayed. Do any of you Firefox users have this problem? Often, I'll switch over to IE and it will display the page in a snap. I have wondered if this is a problem with the latest versions of Firefox, or if it has gotten gommed up with a lot of hidden add-ons and app extensions, it having been my primary browser for 2 or 3 years, now?

I have the same problem with getting logged out after a short time. I'm using Firefox 6.0.2
As a test , I logged in 10 minutes ago - lets see if this one goes through or if I have to log in again.

[Bawanna]

Heres a question for you computer savy folks. I'm using Firefox, didn't know there was different numbers. Last night I'm on my little mini lap top using firefox and I decide to watch the girl, squirrel, dog video that I believe Aray posted.
Well it tells me I don't got the latest mud hut adobe acrobats and I need to update, so I tell it you know what I need, give it to me, well it got all confusing and stupid so I figured I don't need to watch the video anyhow.

BUT when I go back I log into kahrtalk, my homepage on the laptop, it lets me log in, says welcome bawanna, your are a rock star, well ok it didn't say I was a rock star, but then it kicks me right back out. Did that several times. So I do the reboot thing (thats the turn it off, turn it back on thingy in case theres anyone slower than me. No love. So I go back to explorer/google? and it worked there.

I'll be playing again tonight trying to fix my little firefox, confusing little mother that he is.

Any ideas? Remember use small words and pictures are best, I'm pretty simple on this computer stuff.
