It works partially and is worth doing. Change it to remove that setting and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks - yes I'd done that and have same issue as you. Seems therefore it's supposed to be possible but doesn't work at present.

Yes, it is possible. Do this:

1. On the left side of this page, click 'Edit Account'
2. Scroll down to where it says 'Store my user name in a cookie for 1 year' and click Yes
3. Click 'Save Changes'

However it does not work correctly. I find that around midnight it signs me out. But during the day it helps. It is worth doing.

Maybe I didn't explain properly: is it possible to be automatically/already logged in whenever visiting this site? Many sites seem to have this convenient feature but i haven't worked out how to do so on 1200.com. (I think I used to be able to before the major site upgrade a year or so back)

ah cool, never played around with veiw mode before. so it explains why i didnt think of it

It happens when the site is bogged down. Just come back later and everything will be fine.

its happened to me a couple of times nick, the 'view mode' seems to change by itself..

just change it to 'flat' and you'll be back in business!

Check the clock on you computer (click the clock in the bottom right).

If the dates are out of whack it won't let you log in. Or it will for a short while then won't some other times. Try that?

...and why is it that I can't stay logged on to this site? Or is it the site set-up/does everyone have same issue?

Try alternative selections on your 'view mode', little scroll down tab at the top of page.

'Flat' seems to be the one people prefer.
