Keep Getting Signed Out

[dleerl]

I am constantly being signed out of the Forum. Sometimes I am trying to post or sending a pm . It is so annoying to be doing that and find that when I try to submit something I've been signed out and I lose everything that I just typed. What is going on? Is anyone else having that problem besides me?

Do you check the "Remember Me" box when logging in to the forum?

 

[dleerl]

No. I didn't know you needed to do that. I thought that was there for return visits.

Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser, and make sure that ECF is in your allowed cookies list, just to be safe.
However, quite a few people are reporting this problem, so I'd say our server tech will look into it when he looks into the 503 errors.

I am being logged out with virtually every change of content. It is so irritating that I no longer visit ECF with any frequency. Intolerable and happens on no other forum that I frequent.

This used to happen to me on quite a few sites with my previous version of Firefox, and no amount of cleanup helped. It might be worth a shot to try & update your browser if you're having an issue.

This started happening to me yesterday after the site went down. Cookies are enabled, browser up to date & I tick the "remember me" box, but every time I click on another page/thread, I'm logged out again.

Chrissie, you may want to clear the cache in your browser, then try relogging into the forums. See if that helps.

If that doesn't work, you may want to check to see if you have the most recent version of your browser. We did a software upgrade to the forums, and sometimes new software and older browsers don't like to play nice together.
