I keep getting booted out sometimes after an hour, despite the fact I checked the "Always stay logged in" option.

I lost a really good thread I was working on when that happened.

It likely has something to do with your cookies, Do you delete them often or is there a setting which removes them automaticly?

Um...I, uh, delete my cookies once a week, but not this time of the week (Wednesdays).

I would remove all SFO-related cookies and see if that helps. It could be that the cookies you have are corrupted, so having your browser create new ones should do the trick. If you use any cookie-managing software, make sure to tell it to leave SFO cookies alone.

I seriously doubt it is something server-side, as I have yet to have a session terminate on me, and I access SFO from several machines.

how do I...do that? I'm sorry, I suck at tech stuff.  heck, I sometimes just clear my recent history, and select the "delete everything" option there, since I got this place in my bookmark

EDIT: Nevermind.  I think for all I know, I might've just missed clicking the "Always Stay Logged In" option, instead clicking just the Log In Icon below it by mistake.  It's possible.  thanks anyways guys.

What browser do you use? How to clear cookies varies from browser to browser.

Go to "Tools" then "Options".  Then go to the "privacy" tab and click "remove individual cookies."  From there, you can remove individual ones, or clear the entire list :D

Whenever I make long posts that require the white scroll bar on the right -->,

and i start typing, it doesn't want to stay scrolled down. It just scrolls back to the top of the post. whenever i type a letter, it will scroll back down for a microsecond, then scroll back up. If I stop typing, then use the wheel on my mouse to scroll down, then it will stay down, but if I start typing again, it scrolls back up. It's only a minor problem but it's annoying when I trying to quote something that fills up a lot of the space.

Am I the only one with this problem? Or is it just my piece of junk computer?

Thats been around as long as i have, good solution is just making the Post box longer by holding down the white bar at the bottum with the mouse and pull it down...

What does OS mean? Computers aren't my strong point.  :facepalm:

However, the browser I use is Internet Explorer

OS is operating system, either Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.

Doh! I use Windows, then. A very buggy Windows to be exact. It tends to freeze a lot, which is why I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is just my computer acting up.  :)

OK, I can reproduce it in IE8 on Win 7. I'll look into SMF's bug reports and see if there is a fix.

For the record, it works fine in Firefox.

Yeah, maybe I should switch browsers...

SMF is saying it's an IE bug. They say it should work in compatibility mode.

Per this bug report: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=309186.msg2158392#msg2158392

Um, what is compatibility mode? I don't see it...  :lol:

I just realized why compatibility view sounds so familiar... *click* Ahh, much better!

Thanks DZ, and sorry for the trouble!

I'm sure it's no trouble. At least from my point of view (being a bit of a computer geek myself :P)

Speaking of bugs is it just me or did a update or something mess up all the color tags for usernames?

The name colors were a mod. That mod is failing to install, despite it's declared compatibility with the new version, along with ALL of the anti-spam mods. So, they will likely need to be installed manually. It is Finals week, so that, along with fixing any CSS bugs, will have to wait.
