How to stay Signed In in ASC forums?

With our first Apple -- a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion -- these forums have been helpful on a few confusing issues.
But each time I get an email that someone has replied to one of my ASC discussion threads, and I click on the link in the email, I have to Sign In again in order to Reply. And then I'm directed to a different ASC page and have to click on the email link again. Why can't this be set so that my browser automatically Signs me In whenever I come to these ASC forums?
My browser is Firefox 17.0.1 with NoScript, AdBlock and Better Privacy. Apple.com is permitted in NoScript, and cookies are permitted for apple.com and discussions.apple.com, and I already have a cookie for each. (Edgekey.net is NOT permitted in NoScript - who are they?) I am writing this (and I access these ASC forums) on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Win XP Pro SP3. (The new MacBook Pro is my wife's.)
I am NOT going to use a different browser - I really like these security programs in Firefox.
So what should I do?
Thanks.

Well, Mr. Wasley, that certainly is a definitive answer.
But why is it so? Other forums permit automatic log-ins with cookies. Or, if I must log in, I am redirected to the page I was on.
The new Apple devices my wife purchased last year are super (and super-expensive), but there is always this controlling "my way or the highway" ethos when we get to the very end step of what we truly want to do.
It's all a bit annoying, isn't it?

Safari 5.1 - how to stay signed in to a web page.

Since the upgrade to 5.1 Safari no longer allows me to stay signed in to web accounts.
Any website that offers the option "remember me" or "stay signed in" does not work.
I have tried all the new settings in the preferences but cannot discover how to do it. Help gratefully received as this is very irritating!
(I am still using Snow Leopard)

This is really annoying! Start Safari 5.1, go to a previously logged in site and always need to login again!
Not only that, but once logged into a site, going back to set home page, in my case Yahoo, it doesn't apply the previously set options (format of the page).
This happens when switching from normal browsing to "private" browsing.
Is there a way to go back to previous 5.0?

Has anyone worked out a way of staying signed in to the icloud calendar on their PC? It is driving me crazy as I have to sign in each time. I have the latest control panel, Windows 7 and Outlook 2013.

Hello,

How do I stay signed in on this forum?

Do I always need to sign in or is there a way to automatically sign in every time I showed up to this forum? Something like Google chrome that remembers passwords would be great!

Saw your thread about fonts... Been using Suitcase for about 15 years, great app. Best thing is not to add to many fonts to the OS. Use an app like Suitcase and have the fonts in a folder either in your documents folder or external hard drive. Suitcase only links to the fonts...
I also use only external fonts and never add anything to the OS folders. And when I load a font collection into Font Book (I need to browse my fonts somehow), I deactivate all of them and then only use a few that I need. But the main problem now is that Font Book just shows fonts as Active, although they are all really not active, and I cannot manage my fonts any more. The other problem is that Snow Leopard cannot read Lithuanian non-unicode fonts with the normal keyboard layout and that's something that probably cannot be fixed. It all makes me want to go back to Leopard again...
I will try to use Suitcase trial and see if it makes my life any better...

Why can't I stay 'signed In' on this forum?

......................this does sometimes happen, though, if I have started a subject or taken part in a discussion but nearly always when visiting this forum I have to sign in almost every time, which is a pain, to be honest. Almost all other forums to which I subscribe (a few exceptions) keep you logged in unless you log out.

I agree. Fortunately my iPad mini has an auto fill function.
It is one of very few forums that doesn't allow me to stay logged in.
Perhaps this could be changed as other lithium forums do allow me to stay logged in.

How Do I Change My Forum Password; How Do I Stay Signed In?

I posted about these issues in the Community Suggestion area of the board about two days ago, but have gotten no response.
Does anyone know how to change your password to this forum? I've searched high and low for a link, but can't find it.
Also, most other forums I use allow me to stay signed-in, either permanently or for an extended period of time. This forum requires I go to a separate sign-in page each and every time I visit the forum. Real PITB. Is there a way to stay signed in like one can on the other bazillion forums on the Internet?
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I'm hoping someone here knows the answers.
Thanks,
Rich

I looked and could not see how to change a password but here is an idea.
Next time you log in use the WRONG password a couple times. Then when they say, "look here dippy", did you forget your password, ask then to send it. Usually when this happens you have to pick a new one.
I would like to stayed signed in too but have not found out how to do it.

How do I set Firefox 30 preferences so I will stay signed in to various websites?

In all versions from 24 back I could close out the browser and stay signed in to several websites I use on a daily basis. After upgrading from 24 to 30 it signs me out of every website, even tho I have the keep me signed in boxes checked and I have FF preferences set to not clear cookies & to show windows & tabs from last time.
I'm not happy about v 30 as I had to install even more add-ons in order to make it more convenient to use. IMHO sometimes it's not always worth fixing when it's not broken, especially when options are removed and new ones make it less user-friendly and more like 'other' browsers. One reason I liked FF so much was that it wasn't IE or the 'other' browser. :-((
How do I set preferences so I don't have to sign back in to every website each time I open the browser?
Thank you.
PS, Why does FF keep asking me if I want to allow silverlight when I go onto ebay? And is that something I should allow? I never needed it or was asked before v. 30.
PSS, just an observation when when clicking on the automatic troubleshooting info, FF window popped up saying it was blocking it's own site. I'm not very techie, so would like to know the purpose of FF blocking its own site. Thanks again!

How can I stay signed in to Hotmail on the web

I am using an Ipad 4 and every time I close Safari and reopen It, I have to enter my username and password, and there is no box to tick to stay signed in. I am more comfortable using hotmail through the web based platform rather than through the email app, so please don't suggest using that instead.
Does anyone know what's going on and how I can stay signed in?

Unless hotmail has an app or mobile interface (usually m.hotmail.com is the naming convention sites use) if there's no 'remember me' tick box, then there isnt' a way.
The lack of that box could be a security feature, but more likely that it's java based, which isn't supported on the iPad.
Have you tried to access it via another browser? There's some free ones out there that have different levels of functionality than Safari.

I use the Icalendar at home, at work, and on my Iphone. I don't want to have to "sign in" every time I need my calendar. How do I stay signed in? I have checked the "keep signed in" box, but it does not work.

How to sign in to the forum using Firefox w/ NoScript

Apparently this site uses "suspicious cross-site POST requests" according to NoScript in Firefox.
Until this changes, you'll need to tweak the NoScript settings a little in order to be able to sign into your community.vzw.com account with NoScript XSS sanitizing enabled. (I'll assume you've already allowed scripts from vzw.com and/or lithium.com - I'm pretty sure you'll need those enabled in order to use the forums at all)
1) Open your NoScript options in Firefox:
Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions (tab) -> NoScript -> Options
2) In the NoScript options click the "Advanced" tab.
3) In the advanced tab click the "XSS" sub-tab.
4) In the "Anti-XSS Protection Exceptions" text box on the "XSS" tab add the following line:
^https://signin\.verizon\.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin\.jsp.*$
5) Click OK and then close the Add-ons window.
6) Close your tab/window for community.vzw.com and try again.
7) If this doesn't work you may also need to delete any cookies you have from vzw.com and/or close Firefox all together and try again.
Details on the problem, how I identified it, and how I came across this solution
For the past two days I've been trying to get my community.vzw.com account setup and running and no matter what I tried, I would always end up on a screen that said my user name and password was invalid. To add to the confusion I was able to reset my password on the account using the "Forgot username/password" link and it STILL wouldn't work.
Then I noticed that for a split second right after I press the enter key to login there is a small notification bar at the top of the browser window. It goes away too fast to read, but I was able to notice the "NoScript" icon on the bar before it disappeared. So, I enabled scripts globally in NoScript and STILL had the same problem. Disabling/Removing NoScript all together fixed the problem and I was able to login. Of course that's not an acceptable solution, but at least I knew for sure that the problem was being caused by NoScript now.
Recalling past situations with sites not playing well with NoScript I remembered that there were NoScript messages logged in the Firefox error console (Tools -> Error console) when some actions are blocked. So, I enabled NoScript again, tried to login, opened the error console and sure enough, there's a message saying:
[NoScript XSS] Sanitized suspicious upload
to [https://signin.verizon.com/sso/authsso/forumLogin.jsp<some data here>]
from [http://www22.verizon.com/content/sso/signin.aspx?<some more data here>]:
transformed into a download-only GET request.
So, I took the URL from the "to ..." section of the message and entered it into the equivalent regular expression into the exceptions and tada! It worked! I can now sign into the community forums and still have the protection of NoScript to keep me safe from other sites.
Enjoy!

Wow! What a nice description of the issue you are having and resolution steps! I have also passed this along to our IT folks to have a look.
Thank you for being so thorough I am sure there are others that may run into this!

How do I stay signed in at the Itunes Store?

Hello,
I have a question. I used to have no problems having my ITunes Store account automatically log me in. However, ever since I received the update for a new version, it now keeps me asking to manually log in. This is very annoying! How do I get the ITunes Store to automatically log me in every time I open up both the program and the store? Any tips or advice on how to find this solution and fix it?

How do I stay signed in to Facetime?

Recently Facetime has been asking me for my Apple password the first time incoming calls are received after starting the computer. Until a couple of days ago, FT would always be automatically signed in, but now before answering a call I must input my password.
How do I stay signed in?

@Linc, the answer gets a bit involved. Sorry in advance.
Last week I spent an hour on the phone with Apple tech support because my computer suddenly and inexplicably cut off my access to iCloud. As an aside, I could still sign into iCloud via the web site and all my peripheral devices (iPhone, iPad). After much trouble shooting it came down to rebuilding a new keychain. Until that point I had always disabled iCloud keychain, preferring my 1Password instead.
After your question above, I noticed that iCloud keychain is checked under the System Preferences. Selecting the Options tab reveals a window with a check mark beside the "Allow approving with security code," and another tab to change that code. I don't remember ever making such a code.
I'm a bit wary of deselecting the iCloud keychain for fear of reproducing the previous problem.
Suggestions?

How do I stay signed into iCloud in Google Chrome on my PC?

How do I stay signed into iCloud in Google Chrome on my PC?
I use the iCalendar that comes with the iPad. At home on my desktop PC I access iCloud through Google Chrome. All appointments at home get entered on the PC, throughout the day. I like to keep this page open but it invariably gets closed down, and each time I open it I am required to enter username and password, despite the fact I always check the optional box, "Always stay signed in". Frequently I need instant access to this calendar. I also have Last Pass installed, but it doesn't see pop-up sign-ins. Anyone have suggestions?

Do you mean on the website at www.iCloud.com, or in the iCloud contol panel at System Preferences>iCloud
