Help! My computer keeps logging out of DU without me doing anything.

What's that about? It's very annoying!

1. Maybe it's trying to tell you something.

The first step in solving an addiction is admitting that you have a problem. :P

Seriously though, I got no clue. That's strange.

2. Heh, I wouldn't be surprised.

I've been relying heavily on DU for the last week or so. :D I'm going to walk away now and try again in a few minutes to see if the problem persists. Morning, DarkTirade. :hi:

4. Check your cookies settings

5. Sounds like Malware.

Do you go to other sites where you have to log in ?
...and does it do the same thing.?

Some Malware is "setup" so the user can't get a File (from the Web) that will fix the problem.

6. It's likely not. It's a browser setting in which cookies are deleted when it closes.

8. Yep..After I read the next post (that it doesn't do it on other sites) I ..

..was gonna' suggest the browser settings . :)

9. Do you know how to fix that?

I'm looking at internet tools and everything looks the same as always. I think. :crazy:

10. What browser are you using?

[crim son]

11. Internet Explorer, same as always.

I had to log on to answer this question, dammit!

12. Here's an article on cookies in IE

Also... if you're clearing history or using some software (like CCleaner or something) that is clearing your history it may be deleting your cookies.

7. No, it isn't happening on other sites

and oddly, it hasn't happened since I posted this thread, after having it drive me nuts all last night. I think I'll check my security system log or incidents.
