I'm thinking the new Win10 + the new MS browser will fix all these issues :)

Make sure you're logged in to E-Cigarette Forum

Generally, if you get logged out when clicking another link leading to ECF it's a mismatch between http and https
Yep I was logged in. I am not doing anything differently from yesterday. and this was on the same tab/page in Firefox, not 2 different tabs.
Not sure what I broke... sorry...

Also the threads I watch still say watched when I access them and I still get Alerts when someone replies or posts to them.

What retired was trying to get across was to make certain you are logged into the https website and not the http side... his link was for the https one. If you've bookmarked the forum, make certain that bookmark is also for that side

Ohh yes my bookmark was HTTP the same as it was yesterday.

Edit:
Changed my bookmark to https and went out and back in and still have the same issue. I get logged out every time I hit Watched Threads. And when I come back using my HTTP or HTTPS bookmark I have to log back in.
And I only have one tab open in my browser.

The only other think that I can think of would be if your browser is either blocking cookies or you have a util or add-on that clears cookies after closing the browser. The only known forum caused issue is the one retired mentioned...

Has to stay on https. Browsers don't handle switching between secure and non-secure very well and will log you out when switching between the two. As long as you log into ECF using the secure login (https) and stay away from the non-secure site links, you'll stay logged in.

Is there any way to stop my profile info, forum statistics, etc from showing up in a column on the right hand side and move them back to the bottom? I really don't like it. It messes up the page nos. of long threads, they are crunched together. It leaves a lot of white/unused space to the right too. Thanks.

If you make your window smaller by grabbing the edge and movin it, the box moves to the bottom. It doesn't take much to make it drop down there. When you do that, you do lose some stuff at the top. Just click on the three ' ... ' when something you want doesn't seem to be there any longer.

Thank you! I'll try this when I have a mouse attached to my laptop. I hate the darn touchpad and buttons on the laptop!

You really don't need a mouse, try holding 'Ctrl' (lower left on keyboard) then hitting '+' (upper right on the keyboard)' to increase the page size. :)

You beat me back to say thanks, I did it. I had to reset my zoom as it was set to text only.
