How often does this happen Ratbag? The forum will automatically log you off in 10 minutes, unlike ORS that will keep you logged in for up to two hours without any activity!

refreshing the page sometimes helps with "resetting" the timer.

Refreshing the page usually logs me out when using Opera ...



Just lost all my post to vBulletin's "black hole of death" ... grrr!!



With Opera, the text of the post is automatically saved, which is why I prefer to use Opera for these boards.



IE8 and Firefox keep me permanently logged in at both sites, as does the browser in my Blackberry phone.



Opera automatically logs me out here, but not at ORS ...



I have lost the post 10 times now ...

Now trying to post using Opera instead of IE8?????????????

I don't know of this "Opera" program you're talking about.

Safari and explorer does me well on both forums. Sorry I can't help you out any more than that!

Ewww Firefox all the way

Sorry for the thread jacking..
On my main w/s, I have all three. Usually running concurrently.

Using the URL in the Opera address box with a copy/paste to a home page IE address box opens an IE window to the site - LOGGED IN! Opera keeps asking me to log in again ... :(.

NOT a feature of vBulletin, as Opera keeps me logged in at ORS perfectly happily ...

I only use Firefox for photographic stuff (colour managed environment, even if badly ... better than none ... ). Slow, messy, insecure - IMO.

Everything loves IE ...

Opera is by far the best to use for web browsing and is very much more secure than the other two, apparently ...

I do not trust anything that Google has touched.

They have been successfully prosecuted in half the countries in the world for serious, systemic, breaches of privacy and security. Speaks for itself, IMNSHO ... :(
