    You'll still be signed in when you get back? I don't sign out at all. Every time get on the site, it remembers me. I haven't had problems as long as I keep my firewall up to date.

        I don't know what the danger would be, I leave mine signed in at all times. Like you said what can someone do to you. Its not as if they could get in your bank account and if they knew that password they would go there instead of SDC forum

            I stay logged on all the time. I find that maybe once a month - or every 6 weeks or so - I've never kept track), I'll go to post and find that I'm not logged on. [?] I just assumed that maybe the server burped or reset or something. No big deal. I just log in again and forget about it![^]

                    I'm always signed on. If I delete cookies I need to sign on again.

                    Bob, maybe your settings automatically delete cookies at set intervals.

                        I agree...I'm always signed on and unless I delete those wonderful
                        cookies, which I due periodically as part of "standard house cleaning",
                        then I have to log back into everything....good thing I have a standard
                        p/w, except for ebay and the bank.

                            I stay logged on the SDC site on my home computer. When I do the WindowWasher program (about once per month), I have to sign in again. When I travel and use a computer in a library, I sign in and usually forget to unclick the stay signed in box or delete my sign in. I figure that the most someone could do would be to post as me. Many here know me well enough to probably spot bogus posts atributed to me.
