Scot_Lover 1,765 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 G'day The girls pointed out something interesting, doesn't worry us, but to people who share a pc with family or friends it maybe an issue. When you "watch" a thread you get emailed updates on posts to that thread. When you click on view thread, it takes you to the site and logs you on, no Username / Password required. I know the email option can be turned off, but I like to follow the threads I start or contribute to. Is there another option I am missing ? Quote Link to post
Scot_Lover 1,765 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well this doesn't appear to affect anyone, lol. You can remove this thread if you want, thanks Quote Link to post
likesToLick 9,505 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 This may have something to do with browser settings. Do you have Firefox set to erase all cookies when closing the browser? That could (maybe) prevent the automatic logon. I personally haven't noticed this as I don't use email notifications. I prefer to follow threads by using the "Alerts" function in the forum.

Scot_Lover 1,765 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 This is after logging out, I can come back 3 days later, click an emailed link and be logged in. Quote Link to post
