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

I registered to use the forum and was able to post 3 times the first
time I used it, but when I went back later to comment on another
topic, I did not see the buttons that had been present before, for
"Reply" or "Post." It seems to be treating me like a non-registered
user (visitor). Have I done something wrong?
