Why do I constantly have to log-in? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**MikeB** · 02-15-2022, 08:03 PM

For the past year or so, every time I come to the site I have to log-in. For example, today the site has probably logged me out 4-5 times. Checking "Remember Me" doesn't help. Is there some way I can stay-logged-in?

Thanks.

Look at this thread and see if it helps at all

In other news that link should be https. My phone chanes it to http which in turn logs me out

I have been having this same problem for 2-3 years now. I finally figured out that it had to do with either being on the http (normal) or https (secure) version of the site. Once I told my browser to always use the https (secure) version of the site, I have not had to re-login to the site, unless I specifically log out.

As a side note, my iphone acts stupid with the http (normal) version of the site. For instance, I do a Google search for truck stuff and it happens to pull up results from this site, they are always the http (normal) version of the site. If I follow the link, it doesn't recognize me as a member and none of the attached images show in the thread. If I change the http to https in the address bar, everything is fine.

I even changed my signature to the https version so if I click on it on my phone it takes me to the secure version an doesn't log me out.
