this happens everynow and then, but when i log in, it says the usual "thank you for logging in...blah blah blah...click the link if the server doesn't automatically send you back to the site {or whatever}". after the site sends me back to the page i was viewing, it doesn't register that i was logged in. i would have to log in, and click the link to ensure that i am not going to be logged off.
and sometimes that doesn't even work.
just wantin to say that this was flippin out a bit, and i didnt know if it was my comp or not, and wanted to run it through to you guys. thanks.

Just click the thing that says remember me.

I had problems with this once. Try clearing your browsers cache. That solved the problem for me.

browsers cache? alright. i'll try that out, and while i am at it, i'll hit the remember me button, just to make sure. thanks

Same, clear your cookies as well.

yeah, the problem is gone now, for the moment. thanks for the output.
