Every time I log in, I fill out the required user name and pass word, I wait for it to do its thing and it comes up to the forum menue and it says I'm logged in. when I click on a topic, it logs me out.

The only way I have found to log in is to log in as above, clock on "my posts" re-log in when prompted and I am good to go

Whats the deal? please dont reply in computer lingo

I was told that it's a "browser" issue which I guess means your Internet Service Provider and that you have to completely clear out your "tracking" cookie's. So, I run the cleaner that Rick recommended, CCleaner, and it just took me 8 attempts to get logged in and stay logged in before I could post this. Not to long ago, Rick changed some of the forum settings which supposedly helped guys who access this site with Smart Phone's, IPad's and other type mobile devices. That's when I started noticing these problems. Sometimes it takes a long time to go between pages/topics and I'll get screen freezes and have to reload the page.
