locking computer
Why is it that whenever I lock my computer, and then unlock it, I am automatically signed out from the forum?
It seems to be ok with my yahoo email. ie i will remain signed in even after unlocking my locked computer.

Re: locking computer
Locking a computer normally disconnects your Wifi internet connection so will log you out of the forum
Re: locking computer
but it doesnt explain why I am still logged in to my yahoo account.

Re: locking computer
Have you got the "keep me signed in" option ticked in yahoo?
Re: locking computer
Um locking doesn't disconnect wifi. Furthermore internet connection and board login status have no dependency. Board login is a cookie. If cookie gone, login gone.
Are you using the default windows locking, or any special software?

It does if running Vista, a known problem JediJedi wrote:Um locking doesn't disconnect wifi.
Re: locking computer
I'm running multiple vista PCs and none of them disconnect wifi when locking.
I dont see anything on google that would lead me to the conclusion that this is a known vista problem.

Re: locking computer
Locking a computer and resuming from hibernate / sleep are not the same thing.

I think it might be too much trouble to find out .... I'll just re-log in each time or not at allJedi wrote: Are you using the default windows locking, or any special software?

How do you lock your computer?

Re: locking computer
So let me get this straight. You have Singaporum in your browser and you are logged in. Now you Ctl+Alt+Del and Lock. Then you enter password and unlock, go back to your browser, refresh the page and you are no longer logged in?
Re: locking computer
Must be something to do with the way your browser is managing your cookies. Only thing I can think of. It doesn't happen when I do it.
