Okay, so for anyone wondering here is the way it seems to work re the online offline thing. If you sign in and then sign out in under a certain amount of time ... seems like between three and 5 minutes you can sign out and your name comes off the list immediately ... as soon as your account has been idle for that 3-5 minute period of time you will be considered online until you have been idle for 60 minutes ...then you are automatically signed out . Even if you come back and read and actually sign out ... it won't consider you offline until your 60 minutes of idle time are past.
I don't see how that has anything to do with security ... because it basically only applies to the bulletin board , makes it look like you are here when you are not and doesn't seem to apply to My Rogers anyway ... go figure eh ?

Well, my old laptop died and had to get a new (to me) one. This one is still Windows 7, but a lot faster. And the sign in problem is gone! I don't know if it's the faster processor or something Rogers has done, but the problem is gone.
This was in January. Just to explain, for the last few months with the new laptop the sign in was not perfect, but I was getting 3 consecutive screens, the last two being the email/password screen, but I had to wait for the last one because only that one worked. I was good with that because at least it was consistent. Now, for the last couple of days I've been getting the email/password screen right away and it works. So it looks like someone's been working on this problem all along and finally got it fixed. Bravo! I hope I haven't jinxed it.

Whenever I tried to login via the (blue Sign-in) link at the top right of the screen, I also had to click on it twice (not thrice like you).
Today I clicked on it and was able to sign in on the first click. I'm glad you noticed this. I tested it twice.
This is not normally how I login though. Normally I view the various threads without logging in and only login if I wish to reply. If I click on "reply", I'm usually able to login on the first screen and I'm taken to the "reply screen" (after clicking my account popup since I have two accounts (one for PAYGo, one for Cable/Phone/Internet).

Maybe I wasn't quite clear. Previously I didn't actually have to click three times, but I got 3 screens in succession after clicking my bookmark for notifications. The last two were the email/password screen, but if I clicked the first one of those, it threw me into a loop, but the second would work. Perhaps for someone with a lightning fast internet connection (mine is 15 Mbps DSL) those first 2 screens would flash by and not get noticed.
