periodically being logged out

[anonymous_user]

Yes.

[xper]

OK. I think I figured it out. Will try to fix it asap.

[Tarun]

It's happening again.

[gamehead200]

Yup. Still happening at 7:02pm -0500.

Ditto here.

Always remember to check REMEMBER ME when logging in,this will prevent this..... (It is auto checked for me)

http://www.msfn.org/board/login.html

If you click the link above you will see "Remember me?" If it isnt checked,CHECK IT then re-login......... (You should stay logged in after this (UNLESS YOU CLEAR YOUR COOKIES OR CLICK LOGOUT))

If REMEMBER ME is not checked when logging in,your cookie is set to expire which is why you get logged out after a period of NO ACTIVITY..

Good luck

Ditto here. Just started having to login a few days ago (apprx beginning of this month November 2008).

Had this problem entire time using Opera 9.5x versions, don't remember ever logging in on the Opera 9.2x series.

When moving up from Opera 9.5x to Opera 9.60 on October 16, 2008, the login problem suddenly went away. Thought it was gone for good. Two weeks later it is back daily.

FWIW, I have noticed far less cookies accumulating in Opera 9.60 though.

But ... since I see others here citing Firefox I guess Opera can be ruled out now.

That Remember Me tick box is definitely checked. I even unchecked and checked it again.

Over, and out.

[Dude111]

Did you try re-logging in by clicking the link i provided and then see if you stay?

Good luck my friend

Every 4ish hours, it happens, regardless of whether or not you click the "Remember me" link. Just FYI for those who are submitting that as a solution - it's not. Stop.

[Dude111]

Ill have to try that sometime.....

Usually i logout/clear cookies so i dont know how long the sessions last..

[gamehead200]

Seems as though it's been OK today. Anybody else not having problems?

[fossey]

It's back again. To fix this problem it seems that it can be done via the IPB Admin CP under Tools and Settings > By setting changing the Member's login key: expiration to Do Not Expire.

That's what my Forum is set to and I have no problem with staying logged in.

[anonymous_user]

Yeah, problem is back for me too.

[Dude111]

It must only affect certain browsers.

I am using IE6 and luckily have no issues (Although i logout @ the end of each session (Usually))
