Can't stay logged in?
« on: May 12, 2016, 01:31:18 PM »
Has anyone noticed the need to re login if you haven't been active on the site for a while (less than an hour)?

It has been happening to me for a few days now.

Have any of you experienced this?

We need to know if this is a site bug...or just something wrong with my computer.

Me too.  I made sure I changed the time from forever down and a day later back up but still no joy.

Thanks for all the helpful responses guys. 

So it looks like it is a site/server problem.  That kind of thing is beyond my expertise.  We'll get APX on it when he gets back from vacation.  Maybe it's something an SMF update will fix.  I recall our server host (ASO) was having some problems about a week ago.  Maybe this a continuation of that...something's causing the server to constantly reboot...therefore requiring all the re logins.  I guess we will all have to bear with it until it gets resolved.

JM, you probably have not seen this issue because you tend to log out after visiting.  Try leaving the tab open, then come back to it after 30-60 minutes of inactivity, then try to refresh.

It appears that the inactivity shut off function returned to default mode after the ASO issue last week. Once APX or I find that function we will change it back to the previous setting.

Stay tuned.

Seems to be reset or fixed or made better or bad stuff undone or whatever.

Yup.  The bug seems to have spontaneously fixed itself.   :tinfoil:

It sure is nice not having to log in every time I visit.  :dance:

It asked me to login again, I logged in and then closed the tabs and re opened the forum and I don't need to login. Both in Firefox and Chrome.

It's asking you multiple times to login?

@APX

I'm logged in. 
I leave the tab up. 
Walk away from the computer OR do something on another tab for ~20-30 minutes. 
Come back to the UP tab to find I'm logged out. 
I have performed no recent browser updates or setting changes. 

The key here is not whether I have opened or closed tabs, or quit or started my browser.  The key is a certain time period of forum inactivity.  My desktop usually is always logged in to UP.  The only time I log out is when I clear all cookies.

Please log out and then login again paying attention that you select the keep me logged in forever option.

What you said in your last post suggest you have selected 1 hour so the cookie gets old and you get logged out.

"Forever" is the default setting...which I always use.

Then probably is a world wide conspiracy just to log you out of the forum
