Forum not recognising me
I always tick the "Remember me" box, and for years that was fine. I logged in and stayed logged in for ever. Recently (last few months) that seems to have failed. I click in, and it may recognise me, or it may not. Sometimes I can be part-way through replying to a post and it suddenly decides I am an interloper and I must log in again. It seems to be happening more frequently of late too
Is it me? Or my puter/internet connection/service provider?
Any one else have this?

Re: Forum not recognising me
Happened to me yesterday. Logged me out while replying to something (I was using my phone and the signal was iffy but that's not unusual). Seems OK again today.

Re: Forum not recognising me

Mostly ok, but drops out enough to be annoying.

Re: Forum not recognising me
I'm having the same issue at the moment, logs me out, especially when I close my laptop.
I typed out a reply to one of the threads and find it had kicked me out again? All a bit odd, using Chrome, never had the issue before.

Re: Forum not recognising me
I started to get things like that but it was immediately after installing an antivirus app. Didn't actually log me out but if I switched tab (Chrome) eg to copy a link and went back I'd lost everything I'd typed. Started to copy text before switching tabs so I could just paste it back in. It settled down again but I never did find out if it was the AV or just coincidence.Nordboy wrote: Fri Sep 19, 2025 1:58 pm I'm having the same issue at the moment, logs me out, especially when I close my laptop.

PS Check the 'keep me logged in' status - if you haven't already.

Re: Forum not recognising me
I hate to sound like 'that' but nothing has changed at all our end for a few months now, nothing in the slightest..

Re: Forum not recognising me
I haven't changed any settings but it's happened twice to me today, just forgot me and I had to log back in? Once was when I wrote out a reply, pressed submit and it had logged me out and so I had to log back in, the reply had disappeared? So I didn't bother typing it out again. Hasn't happened to me before, but it's bloody irritating more than anything else.Count Steer wrote: Fri Sep 19, 2025 2:07 pmI started to get things like that but it was immediately after installing an antivirus app. Didn't actually log me out but if I switched tab (Chrome) eg to copy a link and went back I'd lost everything I'd typed.

I did click the 'keep me logged in box' , so I know it's not that. Only posted it up after doing a search, finding the thread but there didn't seem to be a solution, just thought I'd ask?

Re: Forum not recognising me
Tbh it sounds like server side session data not being consistent. If your ISP is switching the internal networking about, or something like that, it may cause this.
