How to stay logged in on secondlife​.com

[Stanley Schumann]

Hello!

The log-in page id.secondlife.com offers the option to "stay logged in" but this option does not work. I always check the checkbox but I have nevertheless to log in each time. What must I do or what can you do about it?

It depends which viewer you are using, on V2 in preferences > general tab there is a dropdown menu for "away timeout" that you can set to never.

 

[Stanley Schumann]

Thanks, but you are talking about the viewer whereas I am talking about secondlife.com (dashboard, e.g.)!

[Peewee Musytari]

oops sorry...That`s strange, mine never logs me out, even if I switch puter off and open the page next day I`m still logged in.

Does it make a difference which browser you are on?...I use Firefox.

[Marigold Devin]

I'm on firefox also, and it never logs me out, unless I physically log it out, even if I switch PC off.

[Stanley Schumann]

I'm currently using IE8. Under Firefox, I had real problems using the log-in page. Now I've got this problem, instead. :-(

[Peewee Musytari]

There has been a relatively recent update to FF, maybe since you stopped using it, check it out to see if it is any better for you now.

You could try Chrome too, I`ve not used that but hear good things about it.

[Claireschen Hesten]

assuming you mean the website the type of web browser you use may make a difference if your using Google Chrome's Incognito mode or IE's InPrivate Browsing mode or another browser with a private mode it won't work the next time you open the browser if your using standard browsing it should work if you haven't disabled cookies

[Darren Scorpio]

Make sure you are accepting cookies, and you don't have your browser set up to delete cookies and all browsing history upon closing the browser (All browsers offer this now but it should not be the default unless you have changed that prefference yourself). 

[Stanley Schumann]

No, sorry, also this is not the solution. I never used a private mode. And I heve cookies enabled. Other applications like Facebook or Skype are working as expected, only SL doesn't.

[Stanley Schumann]

It's all fine. Only it doesn't work. It works with other sites, even with the viewer 2, but not with the secondlife.com.

a/o 12/12/2017 I am having this same issue daily. Even if my pc hibernates i have to log back into my dashboard. I have historically throughout my entire SL stayed logged in to dashboard and keep the tab open (it is pinned infact) and not had this problem until the last week or so. It is really getting annoying. (And before anyone jumps on it - yes the little box it ticked. I am using google chrome. cookies are enabled. I am familiar with the functionality. Everything works as expected with the exception of actually staying logged into the website) ... anyone having the same issue? any suggestions before i go search / file a bug report (sigh)

It’s like, I’m having a problem with my Mac, I’ll just check this old Apple II manual. Oops, WRONG HOLE! *zap* (socket, but “hole” gives better imagery.)

Not sure that is the exact word that was in my head

Now hold on a minute, y'all.  Yes, it was a grating, sarcastic post.  But really, I often do the same thing when I'm having a problem.  I'll Google "[insert problem here] Second Life" and see what comes up in Search.  Often, dates are not given for Search results.  If I click on a result and get taken to a forum post, I will very often not pay attention to the post date.  I have found solutions to problems this way...and I have also embarrassed myself by resurrecting old threads.

 Cindy just pointed out that there was a more recent thread on the forms currently. She didn’t berate anyone. 

And got the usual thanks for her effort.

No, SHE didn't berate anyone!  I'm talking about the comments that followed jag Voom's response.  As I said, it was sarcastic and uncalled for, but his explanation of HOW he found the necropost is actually the way I often search for help with problems.  So I felt the berating that followed was perhaps more than was called for.

The berating had nothing to do with necroposting, but for attacking Cindy's generous offer of advice.
