Why does the forum keep logging me out?

This happens, it would seem, at random. Every once in a while I'll come here to find that I need to log in. Today I got logged out minutes after making a post and found out when I hit refresh. Why is it doing this and is there a way to stop it? I figure its a cookie issue, but I don't know who's end the problem is on.

    Mark,

    I have heard of a few people that have reported this (it has been posted before). But for most it doesn’t seem to be a problem leading me to believe that it is a client side issue. What browser are you using? I know one of the other Techs is using IE (same as me), but he occasionally gets logged out. I can stay in all day without issue, even if I am idle the whole time. In fact, I’m pretty sure if I don’t sign out on the machine I can go back the next day, load up and be signed in already.

    This happens to me from time to time — more often from a PC that's used to access the forum less frequently. However, around last Saturday, it appeared that the server was having difficulties: the data rate had slowed to a trickle until, eventually, it just stopped. When full service returned, I had to log in again. I suspect everybody got bumped off during that incident, which may have transpired between Mark's accesses to the forum.

    FWIW, it happened to me just this afternoon. It logged me off after I'd been logged in, but away from the forum for about 3 hours. This is the FIRST and ONLY time it's happened to me that I can remember.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates

    It happens to me now and then.
    The last time was about a week ago.

    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12

    I will be browsing the forums and then all of a sudden I will be a guest rather than me.
    After logging on again it is fine for a while.

    Maybe the server runs out of session id's or something. Just a wild guess though. smile.gif

    Sorry guys. I will send a message to our IT Dept. just to see if anything on our end could be causing the problems.

    I haven't had any problems on this BBS but have only been around for a few months. I did have all kinds of problems on other BBS's when I was running
    Google Web Accelerator. It caused all kinds of log in problems and all of my problems went away the minute I deleted it. jumpin.gif
