Are you asked to sign-in to your mylot account very often?

I'm facing some problems with my mylot account. I'm asked to sign-in to my account very often after typing a comment or a post. I do not know how I'm logged out. Moreover earlier, my computer remembers my username and password. I save them to my laptop. So whenever I open the site, I would be logged into my account directly. But nowadays, I'm asked to log-in at the first and also many times while posting. Have you faced this problem? Are you asked to sign-in to your mylot account after typing a post very often?

i used to have that problem before. they would keep on authenticating my account and ask me to log in every now and then. sometimes, i would lose the discussion that i have started, or the response that i am making to a discussion because, i tend to forget and press back, but if you just log in properly, it will lead you back to the discussion that you are responding to, with your unfinished discussion. it's not so much of a problem for me because at least they didnt erase the discussion that i was starting to type, but very inconvenient. instead of spending time typing the discussion, we waste a lot of it in authenticating the account, but i dont get that problem lately. it has been a month or three weeks since the last instance.

ohh.. thanks bad. that's really unfair. especially if you have already typed so much and it gets erased..and you have to retype everything again, or create the whole response to the discussion. well, if you can type it in a note pad and copy and paste it, guess that will be very helpful so that you wont have to retype everything..

in the past, yes... but now, not anymore... i think they have a glitch in the past and has fixed it now... i know it is really annoying when it happens lots of time... you have to sign in everytime you want to make a post or responses... i'm glad that it doesn't happen to me again... hopefully you will stop having the problem as well... take care and have a nice day...

All right do you have a static or a dynamic connection? If you have a static, then you should be logged in in mylot all the time. The next is if you use Firefox, do you also have noscript as an add on and do you allow mylot as a safe site. After that, when you log in do you check the box that says "allow me to log on to this site forever or never log me off." It also could be that you mistakenly checked mylot as a bad site or if you receive email from mylot or messages, put it in spam folder. What I do is to put myLot in my address book, and allow it.
The other point is if someone else used your computer who has a different user name and logged you off and logged themselves in and forgot to log themselves off when they left.

Thanks for all the possibilities you had given.I have a static connection only. And I use Internet explorer. I never check the box "Public computer". Nobody at home shares my laptop and thee is no other user from my home. BUt still the problem arises.I hope today it would be set right..

I faced this kind of problem but now I don't have this problem anymore. I also did not know why,last time I was often asked to log in again after I had posted some discussions. I was automatically signed out after a few minutes I was inactive in Mylot. But now the problem was solved and I did not how it happen

Hi Smilyn! Yeah, that has happened to me too. It asked me several times to log in my account after responding to some dicussion. I dunno what happened. I just leave it that way for a couple of days.
The last time I logged back in, it was already okay. I don't really know what happened to that. I just thought it has something to do with the server or site. However, I must admit I was pissed by it. It's really pissing especially when you have to do things over again.
I remembr, there was even a time when I really can't log in eventhough I'm pretty sure that I'm supplying the right username and password. I dunno why. I thought my account was locked....hehehe! This thing happened to me thrice but right now, things are going fine.
I'm just new here and I can't do copy paste. There was a time when I was writing, making a disucssion rather then when I have to paste it, I realized I'm not able to do it yet unless I reached a certain number of entries. I really felt so bad about it. I have to do things over again and since I was no longer in the mood to do it, I decided not to make one...hahahaah! It's my loss though but that's okay. It was before. I don't really check my mylot account. I only do it if I hve the time.

Yes, it is really very annoying to type the contents again. Sometimes, I would have typed such a long response. And just while submitting the response, I would be asked to log-in again. Attimes, the page would take me to the response I typed. Sometimes it would be at the page of the dicussion and my hard typed response would not be there. It would really upset me.
Also for the copy paste feature to be enabled, one has to reach 500 posts..So I cannot even copy the typed responses..

Sounds like you might need to do an Update, or reset your Cookies somewhere on your computer so it will remember your password, and such so that you can continue to stay in myLot. I am always logged in here, and even when I use my Laptop from time to time, I continue to be logged in there as well. I have never logged out, and never reset my cookies either. Wishing you the best as I am sure that can be annoying for sure.

Oh..I think this can be a reason behind it. But I'm bit doubtful because my all other auto log-in accounts did not have any problem. I use auto log-in for my yahoo mail account and also in many other sites. And I did not have any problem with them. Even in that case, after I log-in once to mylot, my laptop should remember the username and password. But it does not though I do not check "Public computer" option..I thought mylot system should have some errors. I think I have to check it up..

I have no problem when ever I log on the my lot on my personal computer at home I have no problem. When I start it is automatically log on. I never found disconnection with the mylot automatically. Some time after posting a disfussion it takes some time to get back for tag. I think there some system which scrutinize the discussion according to their rules and if OK than tag and submit. No problem.

Hello smilyn
I am sorry to hear that.It is really bother to us if our accounts are logined out before we post a response.I also meet this kind of bad experience before on mylot.It happened during the updating of the mylot.I always need sign into my account if i want to post the comments.But in the subsequent days.It worked okay again.Maybe it is only a systme error, please don't worry. I think it will be okay soon..
good luck
