Logged Out Every Time I Visit - Driving Me Nuts

[Anonymous]

This topic came at the right time. I was beginning to think that I was being logged out because I was being penalized by this site for spending too much time on it.

Also, at the main page, this forum displays "Total Logins" and "Total Minutes Online". I can't remember being at a forum that displayed this information. For all I know, maybe all forum software is able to keep track of that type of information. Out of curiousity, is there a particular reason why this information is displayed to me ? Between that and being automaticly logged off, I was beginning to think I was supposed to always log off immediately after I was done posting something.

Once Hauling hits 200,000 minutes online, she gets tenure.

I took have looked at my count and gasped a time or two. I look at it this way: if I didn't find myFICO, then where would I be? COs still? Same old habits? Multiple CAs? I know I would be worse off than the mid-500s DW and I had starting this journey. Assuming the scores didn't get any worse, what type of interest rate would I have for a new car? 20%++ ? What kind of interest rate would I have for a future home? 10% +++ ? How much money did I save in interest alone by coming here and learning? Tens of thousands? This site pays for itself. Plus the humor factor is pretty cool too.

Hey Laz, I can move away from here in the same tab and "page back" to here without having to login again. My guess is that if I typed in myfico.com in the addy line, I would have to login again. I will check in a minute. Yep, re-login required. Probably because the sensitive information, that is being discussed in here.

I just open another tab to browse while I am on this site.

sometimes i do use other tabs, & it will stay open.

but my question is, why do i HAVE to use a new tab, for it to stay open?  other websites allow me to navigate away from their pages, & come back just a few minutes later, without having to log in again.

i guess it's a security feature i will just have to live with, as raine suggested.  thank you all for the information.

(p.s.  hauling, my windows xp is mocking your vista...lol.  i also have firefox 3.0.4)

Thought that I might have some Mod Super Power to come and go as I please, without having to sign back in. Alas, no such luck.
