Trouble staying logged in

Sledgehammer427 · 01-25-10, 09:08 PM

I've run across a snag lately, not a major issue but still one I thought I should bring up.

I can't stay logged in. I will refresh the main forums index (because I always hang around

) and I will suddenly be logged out, and every time I log back in, I tick the Remember Me checkbox and it still happens. I have made no changes to my browser, which is Firefox. in the past 5 days, when I loaded an update, this started happening yesterday.

Yea, was just gonna bring it up... Abit annoying lol.

I think the amount of time a user stays logged in without activity has been reduced. Probably to alleviate the downtime issues.

sounds believable. I wonder what Neal would have to say about it though

I haven't noticed it on my home PC, that's the only one I've checked the "remember me" option on. I assumed when it happened on other computers *cough the office cough* it was because I didn't check that option there and logging people out if they were inactive for a while reduced the strain on the system, which is fine.

I'll leave the window up at home for a bit when I'm tending to some other things and see if it logs me out here too.

But, if it needs to be done to help things run more smoothly, it's not that big a deal, especially since my username/password get filled in automatically. It's just an extra click and then at least it takes me back to wherever I was or was going within the forums anyway.

Everyone seeing this on FF 3.6?

I'm using IE7, and staying logged in... but yeah, this could be an effect of the shortened cycle.

High chaps annoyingly I wrote 2 long reports to Zeewolf regarding testing his patch v1-2B and when I submitted (twice) someone ate it!!!!!
It may be a time out problem but if not sorted I won't be able to participate. Nothing has changed as far as I am concerned but would be grateful to have it sorted. Only started happening a couple of days ago.
Best Regards Mort going quickly before this gets eaten too!!!

Hello all I'm sure it was a time out problem previously as I wrote a long screed and was unaware of this particular restriction. hence got the chop as I submitted my small Bible!
All OK now as what I do is write it up first then copy and paste it in.
Too stupid to think of it before DOH!
Thanks for putting up with me being a Dork

It's doing it to me again. I spent a good ten minutes replying to a PM, and when I hit 'Submit' it took me to the "You Must Be Logged In" screen. When I went back the message was lost.

I took a break and tried again. This time I saved it before submitting, and sure enough it kicked me out again. I logged back in again and pasted the message, and that time it sent it properly.

Frustrating, to say the least.

And now it's logged me out four times in one session. Getting frustrating.
