I have been logged on for sometime now, but I closed the internet by accident and so I had to click it back on to get back on the UM.
It now has shown that I didn't log on here when I never logged off and I had to re-use my password. Usually it welcome me back cause I forgot to log off. Is this normal? Sometimes I feel somebody has been watching me and may have my password. What now?

Ooops Mods. could I repost this on computer support and web support forum which I thought this was.

Maybe when you accidentally closed your internet, it scrubbed off all the temporary internet files and the cookies, if this happened, you would have to log on again.

Either your cookies got deleted or you turned off the "Remember me" function by accident. No one's watching you.

I think Shakezulah has pretty much covered it, I can't really add anything else. There's nothing in what you've described that would suggest to me that anyone is watching you or has your password.

Make sure you cookies are enabled and you have 'remember me' ticked on the login page.

And it can't hurt to change your password.

Thanks very much. original.gif

It might of been a little paranoia, but nowadays you can't be sure.

It did it again! This time I forgot to log off and had to log on back to the internet and I had to re-use my UM password to log back in and this time I remembered to log off.

Now about a half hour ago I get on the UM only to see that I was still logged on and welcomed me as if I didn't logged off at all yesterday!


I don't know, it might just be me. Sorry if this has become a nuisance to anyone here. hmm.gif
