Guest JulianY Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 As far as I can see, the cookie should last about a year, after which they will expire suddenly and without warning. I could not find anything in the microsoft support base about ie 7 specific to cookies, how the answer may lie in installing firefox JY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 It's happening to me as well, not very often, maybe weekly. But I'm using Firefox on a mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JulianY Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 the only other possibility i can see is the "pass_hash" cookie which expires after 7 days but I have no idea what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 Happens to me from time to time and I run Firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 Happens to me from time to time and I run Firefox Me too - but frequently just in the last week or so for some reason ? Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Levene Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 the only other possibility i can see is the "pass_hash" cookie which expires after 7 days but I have no idea what it does It's not that regular. I suspect that it's something changing at Neil's end (if you'll excuse the expression) because if it happens on my computer at work I know that I will also have to log in again on my home computers.

sjb1604 Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 Me too - using Firefox - it looks like the cookie expires after 7 days Neil should be able to answer this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Levene Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 Me too - using Firefox - it looks like the cookie expires after 7 days But it happened a couple of times in as many days. I still think it must be something at Neil's servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonywbyrne Posted 17 February 2007 Share Posted 17 February 2007 .....me too. About 1 in 3 times I have to log back in. IE7's latest incarnation. Yes it is becoming a pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocketeer Posted 18 February 2007 Share Posted 18 February 2007 For me, I have to log in again whenever my IP address changes; i.e. When i switch between using my laptop at Uni and when I'm back at home. At a guess... if you are using a wireless connection, it may be the same for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
