Logged Out Frequently

[No_Mind]

I am getting logged out every few seconds.

If I want to write a reply it asks me to log in when I click New Post, when I click Submit, when I click Edit.

Greetings,

Please try a different browser and see if that changes anything.

If it does, you will have narrowed it down to an issue with your browser settings.

I was using Chrome. Let me try Firefox.

Same issue with FF also. I had to try many times to post this reply.

Every time I click Post Reply it would ask me to login and I would rewrite the line and it would again ask me to log in when I click Submit

Have you adjusted your settings on these browsers to accept cookies, caching etc.?

Just wondering whether you might have adjusted something in the name of privacy or virus protection etc. that's have adverse consequences...

No.

I just wonder if there is a "log out inactive time" in Account Settings that has become activated somehow.

I can log into mail, banking, Grammarly and other sites fine (I mean I stay logged in)

Greetings,

Not at a global level, and I don't recall such a function existing in the User Control Panel...

What happens if you try via a phone?

Metta,

I'm getting multiple posts of the same post.

Can you post a screenshot of what's happening?

A screenshot would have been insufficient. I shared a 2.5 minute video file 5 MB of my login attempts.

Download here

I created the file myself using VLC Media Player. I would guess that chance of malware is nil. If it does not work will share in some other way

Edit Add - If you use Firefox the video plays in the browser with no need for download.

Are you using a cell? Or perhaps going through wifi? Because I move around all day and go between wifi and towers and that logs you out automatically some times.

the website logs me out after a few days and it appears to be spaced apart at different intervals

i would rather stay logged in unless i log out manually

I get the same issue some times. But only on wifi, never on data. I just make sure I copy the whole thing and repaste if it asks me to log in again.

Same here. This happens while at the same desktop computer, not using any other devices or other desktops, nor changing any browser or forum settings in the meantime. It just logs me out mysteriously; sometimes it keeps me logged in for a month, other times, it logs me out after a few days.
Perhaps this could happen if someone else would try to acces my account from another computer?


Also, troubles when posting: If I first hit preview, it often loads and loads and gets nowhere, eventually deleting my post/refreshing the page. If I first hit post, it sometimes loads and loads, and then there are multiple posts.

No. I don't use cell for browsing. I do use my home wifi.

Basically I post using a desktop connected to the net through wifi router
