Is there any advantage or disadvantage to either one?
I've been so busy with different things for at least several days that I have been forgetting to log out of here when I thought I was done but when I came here a bit ago to post, was expecting to have to log in but was already.
My "old timers" at work. :)
Thanks,
grits
Hello Grits,
It's more of just a personal choice for what you prefer, and what your circumstances are. :)
Stay logged in = Makes it quicker to access and post to the site. If you have others that have access to your computer, then it could pose a risk of them being logged in to the site as you.
Log out = More secure to prevent others from being logged in the site as you. However, it'll take a bit longer to log in each time you visit the site.
I never log out myself. I like that I can just click on the forum icon in the favorites bar and already be signed in.
Same here! But as Brink said, if others have the opportunity/means to use your account theres always the risk of unwanted things happening. I've logged out once in the last year I think
Staying loged in saves having to remember password Which is very helpful at my old age
When I open Chromium I`m logged in, who wants to keep typing in usernames and passwords, if it`s your pc, there`s nothing to worry about.
Thanks all.I'd give you all a 'rep' if I had time but have created myself a new problem & have already confused myself by reading too much after doing 'search', hoping to find answer instead of new post but not my luck so best get to it.
You're welcome Grits. Glad we could help.
No worries, please feel free to start a new thread for any question you may have. :)
I too stay logged in. Does one's status always show as "online" even when one closes the browser?
I'm ready to close (X) for the day at 6:03pm my time & you show as logged in. Don't know if you are here or not??
