Hotmail - "sign me in automatically" not working ?

[rh71]

It's been like this for a few days now. Have to enter the password ALMOST every time. Sometimes it remembers, sometimes it doesn't. I'm talking like 20 minutes, sometimes an hour, etc.. Happening to you too ?

No cracks about Hotmail, I've got others too, but this address remains important.

Do you have a firewall or cookie-watching program installed/running?

It started doing that to me too, it's really annoying.

I have the same setup as I did last month. It only started doing this recently... and so far 1 person has said the same thing... please tell me more of you (who use this feature of Hotmail) experience it too.

Yup, they have some new log on screen too. Wonder if they are changing the site again.

Every once in a while, I see the regular log-on screen (blue left panel) asking for full username/password with the 3 radio buttons to choose from. VERY strange. I NEVER log out.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! It's been like a week. Someone must have realized it by now. They don't have a we-actually-read-our-email email address do they?

yep, me too. i haven't changed any settings either. if i tell it to automatically sign me in, it won't anymore.

 

[gwlam12]

are u using netscape or IE?

 

[TNTrulez]

They are upgrading the servers at MS so this might be cause by that.

Well I've found that the link from Trillian (small MSN icon) will get you right in every time. But typing hotmail.com won't (it used to).

I get it everytime, and have for a week or so i think. I think it came about when they changed the look again. It was probably something else they took away for non paying people

Oh my God, they killed the cookies. Those bastards.

The same spit has been happening to me for about a week and a half. Everytime I try to access my account, I need to sign in. What a pain in the butt. Someone there, some dolt, told me I need to uninstall/reinstall IE6. Gee, what great advice.

 

[rh71]

Still happening. Fvcking sons of bitc#es. If you're going to still give us the option, at least make it work.

I D I O T S. What kind of Mickey Mouse operation are they running over there at M$ ? I bet even paying customers are getting this. QUIT TOSSING MY COOKIES!!!!

I've been going back and forth with them over this issue. As I said in my earlier post they insisted IE6 needed to be uninstalled/reinstalled. That didn't make any sense to me, and I told them so. I also referred those dolts to this thread so they could see it wasn't an isolated incident.
Two days later they just emailed me a reply, admitting guilt, and telling me they are aware of the situation and they are doing everything possible to correct it.
However, for my troubles, they are sending me a check for $5000.00 Nice folks, over there in Redmond.

 

[rh71]

Well I just sent them a "bug report" myself. Then I come back here and see your new post. $5k? Riiiiiiight. How much did they pay you to say that on here?

 

[Carbo]

They paid me $5K to say they were paying me $5K.

 

[rh71]

I left myself open for that one didn't I? Seriously though... you're starting to sound like they just made you their newest employee or something.

FIX IT YOU FUKKERS!!!!!!! No, it's not yet fixed... it doesn't work "every time until I sign-out."
