Why am I getting logged out of sites?

[PokerFace]

When I went to visit a couple of forums/sites today that I am a member of (including this one) I found I was logged out, even though I have the 'keep me logged in' option set. I know I occasionally get logged out seemingly randomly, or when I've used CCleaner, but thought it was strange that it happened on a few sites today for no apparant reason.

Any thoughts, or is this just a coincidence?

they often have a timer, so they will log out after a while since you first logged in so if you logged into all of them pretty much at the same time that may be it, i know yahoo mail says that after two weeks it will log out, some may be different

Try clearing your browser cache.

Whenever i use CCleaner, it logs me out of everything. It's default set to clean your internet cache, so if you run it, it's probably doing the same to you

CCleaner wont clear the browser cache completely,
the only way to do this is manually through the browser tools.

That's correct, but I hadn't run CCleaner.

Try clearing your browser cache.

1) What exactly am I doing when I clear the browser cache?
2) Why would that help?
3) How do I do it?

Thanks guys.

Sorry, i keep misreading things -.-

Clearing your browser cache can solve a lot of problems,including the one your having,
how to do it depends on what browser & version you have,what browser are you using?

It could be something to do with battlelog if you have BF3 as every time that gets updated i lose all my visited sites from IE and have also had this not being logged into some websites i am auto logged into 1 of which i know does not have a time limit on.

I don't have BF3, but thanks anyway.

to clear cache in IE9 click on the tools icon/internet options/under browsing history click delete/untick"preserve favourites website data"
To completely clear the cache in IE9 Click on the tools icon/F12 developer tools/clear browser cache,
or hit the keys ctrl+R,
better still use firefox

ok thanks. I had a look at that F12 developer tools and it looks a bit scary, lol. I'm staying away from that screen

have you got "delete browsing history on exit" ticked in internet options?

No.

Everything seems back to normal now though, so just one of those things I guess.
