Hey there. It �s very often that while perusing the recent contributions that I click on a worksheet to download and I get the sign-in/registration page. My cookies have already filled in my username and password for me and I click the "Remember Me" box (again). Okay. So I �ve timed out. I get it.
Two questions:
1). Why does it not redirect me back to the page I was last on? I really wouldn �t mind it if it just directed me back to that WS, but it doesn �t. Instead, you get sent to the home page. It �s really annoying to surf back to the exact WS I was on especially if my connection is running slow.
2). Why doesn �t the "Remember Me" function work to prevent such time-outs?
3). (Sorry, I can �t count! ;) ) How does the time-out take/how does it work?/what can I do to prevent it?
Thanks!

i don �t have that problem at all, i �m always logged in... in the morning when I open fiirefox and click on the "new contributions" button in the toolbar I don �t need to log in, same thing when the page stays open for hours on my computer... I only have to log in when I access eslp from a computer that �s not mine! have you tried allowing your browser (internet explorer or firefox) to save your password? hope it helps!

Hi Tastybrain
Infact that seems a Burnbrain. It doesn �t happen to me. When I download a printable it opens in a nother wind, so, after downloading it, I just closed that new window and I �m back again, exactly where I was before starting the download. It �s strange, but I am not an expert, let �s wait for some Brilliantbrains, ok?
Good luck Linda

Hi
I don �t have the problem you have.
Could it have anything to do with your cookie settings? |

Thanks for the suggestions and comments all.
I use firefox and it still happens on my computer at home.
I do the same thing Olindalima (open in a new window) but when you do a specific word search links don �t open in a new window.
Cookie settings? I doubt it since my cookies work to put in my username and password when the page comes up. Curious why it should ask to remember me though.

I use Google Chrome, It is works much faster than any other browser I �ve tried before and has a very handy "Keep you logged in" feature built into it. You should check it out and see if you still have the same problem. |

Thanks, Homeless, but I abhor Chrome. I guess I �ll just have to live with it.
