Problem using the forum

Dear Jane,

The forum uses cookies to keep track of your Identity, and after some 
time, they expire, so you'll have to log in with your user name and 
password again - please use the Button in the top row, right behind the 
Text "welcome to the PBS Forum" for this. In the window that opens then 
for entering said name and Password, there is a drop-down selection 
field to determine the duration of the log-in cookie - the default is "1 
Hour", but if you change this to "forever", you will stay logged on for 
this particular IT device (PC/Tablet/Phone) and browser, and won't have 
to enter your password again until someone or something flushes your 
"cookie cache".

Unfortunately, we can't change the default to forever, as it is 
considered security related - though that would only be a problem on a 
system multiple people use with the same user profile - in a situation 
like an internet cafe or free access computer in a lobby or something 
like that. In such cases I'd always recommend a manual logout, anyway.

Hope that helps,
Martin
