Every time I leave the forum, or even when I'm on here I get knocked off & I have to sign in again & most of the time it won't let me.
I've tried re-booting my computer. I'm using Windows 10 with Chrome, but tried Edge & Firefox & the same thing happened. Anybody else having any problems?
Al
 
No problems here. Windows 10 with chrome and it remembers me each time I bring up the page from my bookmarks.

Barry.
 
I had to try about 10 times before it let me in. Same issues on Chrome, IE, Firefox, and Explore Edge.....
I finally got in.
 
Hi Al, and Thank You for the Welcome!
I was just trying to post a reply to an article. It popped a window saying there was an internal server error.
I just figured I took way too long pecking out my reply.
But so far, so good. At least I haven't been banned, yet. LMAO! :D
 
It is also happening to me this morning: I have to log on for each page, and sometimes when I click on "Login," nothing happens. Hopefully when I click on "Post Reply" in a few seconds, it will post this message.

[edit] OK, it posted fine. BTW, I'm using Firefox on Windows XP.
 
Having the sign in problems on PC and go to google and this time clicking register isn't working.Instead try clicking on the main Smoking Meat Forums page - works for me.It comes right up with me signed in o_O
 
Well as I was reading this thread, all of a sudden I was signed in.
Don't know what is going on!
Al
 
OK, I'm going to close this out & try to come back & see what happens.

I did that & it worked for me too, thanks for figuring that out.
At least I can get on until they get this fixed.

This might be a long shot, but when site admins make a change to the operation of the software, if is often helpful to clear the browser cache (on the PC, hold CTRL and press F5) when on the forum
 
... Especially with todays optimized browsers, your cache might maintain server script that ends up being in conflict with software changes.
 
Lol..
I was just going to suggest that you can go into browser history and click back in where you were before you got logged out.
