Forum Suggestions & User Assistance - Am I the only one???

Sometimes my username is red when I'm not even logged in. My computer will be shut off, I'll come on bike forums at school or a friends house, and my name will be lit up before I even log in.

And also, sometimes I'll be logged in, but I won't click remember me, and then I will get logged out automatically after half an hour or so.

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just weird?

Yes. :)

This requires a scientific studyl We will need to recruit a sample of posters. Let is finally get to the bottom of this mystery!

I have posted red and now let us see what happens after I edit it!

It stayed red!

I don't know, but I don't like it.


Change you password.
Log out when you finish on BF so the cookies clear.
If this continues, please let Brian or me know.

You could always get a friendly mod to check to ensure the ip is the same as th eone you use at your place. It could just be the "timeout" of logging out from bikeforums. I personally wouldn't be concerned, unless the ip is different, and that takes a couple of seconds for a mod to cross reference. I have noticed it on other forums more so than this one.

Wait - when the usernames are red it means the person's online?

Damn, learn something new everyday...
