How do i stay logged in? It keeps forcing me to relogin every time I start a new browser window.
Hi
I don’t think you can, I think there is a timeout set. Having said that
if you use a nntp client, no timeouts

Leave a browser window open. You can then open others browser windows which will be logged in. But even this method has its limits, a time limit (a few hours or so). After that you may have to delete the cookies from this site to be able to log in again.
instead of Firefox, use Thunderbird and point it to support-forums.novell.com
sleepy,
Which is the old server but redirected. Currently you can use
forums.opensuse.org or forums.novell.com which are the two mirrored NNTP
servers.
I don’t understand this policy. Can anyone from OpenSUSE explain why we can’t at least stay logged in for 24 hours? It actually creates a heavier load to keep logging everyone out, thus redirecting them to login pages, confirmation pages and then back to their previously viewed page. What’s the reasoning behind this?
It could be related to this
openSUSE Forums - View Single Post - control session timeout?
One thing that bugs me is that I can’t jump right to the login page.>:(
I’ve accepted that I have to login each time. But why does a link to the login page redirect you to the forums front page where you have to click on Login to get back to the login page?
Firefox saves my username and password, so linking right to the login would be good. One extra click is not a crisis, but it is irritating to not have such a simple thing.

Yes. But that begs the question: What is the benefit to you/me/the openSUSE
community to be tied to the Novell’s iChain?
From where I sit it seems to be nothing more than an hourly frustration–that
is, of no benefit to me (or you).
Google has (I think) a two or three week log in persistence. Perhaps NOVL’s
share price could track GOOG’s more closely if the former emulated more of the
latter’s policies more closely. (Including a safer distance from Old Predatory
himself, MSFT.)

Being able to login to any part of the community (forums, bugzilla, wiki
etc) for all products that you use instead of logging into each system
individually. And if you use NNTP then iChain/login time is a moot point.
Just came back from a demo at Linux World… was wondering if it would be a good alternative to have a look at this:
Techworld.com - Novell builds open-source CardSpace
Even if it’s originally an idea from Microsoft, it’s free to use and already available for Linux, Mac and Windows… seems it has a good chance of becoming a standard. Also heard they are implementing openID options as well so you get the best of both ideas.
Seems to me it’s a way the future will be headed anyway… why not try to implement it alongside the traditional iChain login?

- Magic31,
whoa, blast from the past! Novell started “DigitalMe” back in the late 90s, IIRC…

LOL… true. This is based on new standards though, making it a more fitting solution for todays demands (as I been told)… You don’t wanna know how many times the term cloud computing was thrown at me today.
There was a nice layout on how computers & people have been evolving:
1960’s >> mainframe - one computer, many users
1980’s >> desktop - one computer per user
2008 >> multi desktop - many computers per user (desktop, laptop, pda’s, etc…)
2010-2020 >> 1000 systems per user, for many users (cloud computing - access it wherever you are)
Anyway, in these lines the open source CardSpace thingy sounds like a good option!!
