   After logging in to the main site, I always have to re-log in when I want to go to the forum section or job section. Is there a way to only log in once? Thanks. Kim Brock

   Currently no. But that should be implemented in the future.

   Thanks for your post. We are so sorry for the inconvenience of having to log in couple times in our websites. We are aware of the situation and our IT team has been working to resolve the issue. However, we don't know when it will be fixed but we will keep you posted.
   
   Thank You.

   Its December and the problem still isn't fixed. I would look into hiring some new IT people.

   I only had to log in twice the first time with the new site but I do have to re-log in at the main page every third or fourth time time I come to the site. If it was every time I would think it was a setting on my computer and it happens on both my computers and only at GCSAA. I wouldnt mind but the log in process is usually 15 seconds of waiting after I hit enter. The rest of the site seems fast, just the log in is slow for me.

   Such a pain to log into what seems every page almost to the point to look for info off of Google.

    Agreed, someone dropped the ball on this one and it seams it is being resolved at the governments pace. Good thing the person that is in charge of this does not work for my membership. Disappointing!

    GCSAA Members,
    
    Our development team has wrapped up its work on an upgraded Conference and Show registration process and is nearing completion of a single sign on for the web site. We appreciate your patience and expect to have a single sign on by the end of the calendar year.

    This thread is dedicated to those who are experiencing an undesired behavior when logging in.
    
    First thing that I need to know is some basic information about your computer setup:
    
    1. What type of OS are you using (Windows, Mac, Android, iPad iOS, Linux, etc.)?
    2. What browser are you using and which version (IE 9, Chrome, Safari, Firefox 8.0.1, etc.)?
    3. Does this only happen on that particular machine? Do you have another machine that you could try to login with?
    4. Do you have the ability to have another member login to your machine to see if it is directly related to your login?
    5. Could you briefly describe the steps that you are using when you can't move back and forth between the forums and the gcsaa.org homepage?
    6. Are you trying to access both sites from the same browser? If you attempt to use a different browser than you will be required to login again. For example, if you login to the forums with Chrome and then attempt to login to the GCSAA homepage with IE. Each browser owns its own authentication components so you will need to login twice.
    7. Are you able to login to each of the sites independent from each other? For example, can you open a new browser window and login successfully to the forums. And then close the window. Then open a new browser window and login successfully to the homepage?
    8. What happens if you try to login to the homepage and then attempt to go to the Job Boards section of the site? This step will help to determine if there is a general problem with logging on, or a problem with one of the new sites (Forums, gcsaa.org, Self Assessment and Job Boards)?
    9. Are you referring to a problem with the "Keep me checked in" type of process?
    
    Feel free add your questions or comments here.

    I am able to log in, but it asks me to do it over and over as I utilize different sections of the site. I was able to get on the Jobs Board the other day without logging in.
    
    I use Windows and Internet Explorer at work and Mac and Firefox at home.

    Okay, this leads me to some additional questions:
    
    Which site do you typically log in from? (ex. Forums, gcsaa.org, Job boards, etc...)
    Do you ever click the log out button?

    Hi John,
    
    Not sure why, but for the last few days I have been having similar issues. I go through gcsaa.org and I have never clicked to be logged off. Just now I went to the site, it showed me logged in on the home page and had my name etc. and as soon as I went to try the forums it asked me to log in again. I never had any problems at all doing this until just the last few days and sometimes it seems fine and then the next time I try it asks me to log in again. I don't have any similar issues on any other sites I go to.
    
    Thanks. Gary

    Normally I log into Forums. I click the log out button every time.

    Peter,
    
    I am sorry about not getting back sooner. We put out a little fix that should take care of this issue. If anyone sees an area of the site that they believe they should be able to reach and cannot, just submit a forum post in this area and we may be able to apply a quick fix to your account that will let you get in, if you are supposed to be able to reach that area.
    
    Thanks,
    Chad

    Seems this wk... I'll log into the home page,check the box to remember me. Then I think I'm getting logged in but I have to wait for about 10 or 15 seconds and then it redirects and signs me in. My name shows Welcome Robert Crockett. If I go to another part of the sight, I have to go thru the whole process again. Then if I go back to the Home page, Is as if I never logged on in the first place, on the Home page. However, I can surf on the forums ect. with the current log in. I can't log out of the H-page because it doesn't recognize me, so I have to log out of the forum and what other parts I have been too. I have Windows 7 and IE

    Seems like we are having a few problems logging in right now. First we have to apologize for not being around. Tournament, Conference and Show was amazing but it kicked our ...
    
    I see one problem might be clicking a link from Twitter. To be honest, I have never attempted that path so I am going to test that out today. Also, anyone that is having an issue logging in please try this path just for the moment because it seems to be working for most people...Log into the Forums at http://forums.gcsaa.org. Once logged in from there, follow the link at the top of the page to the main site (GCSAA.org). This should keep you logged in with no issues.
    
    Also, if you are using IE 7 or newer, you do not have to clear all of your cookies any more which means you won't lose your settings on other sites. Just delete all of the GCSAA links from your favorites. When you bring up the "Delete Browsing History" popup, make sure that all of the boxes are checked. Click the Delete button and this should clear out any existing information for GCSAA. Then re-add them at your leisure.
    
    And thanks for using a comparison of TurfNet and GCSAA's websites. This allowed for me to review their site. Make sure that you understand the difference in the amount of information, size and complexity of our site versus theirs. Their site is more of a media site and ours is more geared toward the association. Not to say either is better or worse, just to say they are different. Also saw on their site the following quote regarding webcasts...
    
    [quote">How can TurfNet offer them for free when GCSAA charges members $45 each? That's a $900 difference if we take them all.
    You'll have to ask GCSAA.
    
    For anyone that wants to ask me I can tell you that as of 1 Nov 2011 GCSAA no longer charges members for these videos... http://www.gcsaa.org/Education/Webcasts.aspx.

    Well....until GCSAA changed their website,,there were NO issues logging in. It is what it is...and if LOTS of people are having login issues...IT HAS TO BE ON YOUR END. I'm trying to be civil, but it's getting ridiculous. NEVER ...in my life have I gone through this with any other site....EVER. So come on people...get the glitches out of the system so we can login with out having to stand on our heads, delete stuff we don't have to on any other site and hold our breath. Thank You and keep trying
