4) how often does it happen?
5) when did it happen last?

These are apparently random events, so without as much information as you can provide, nobody will be able to do anything about it.


1) Firefox 3.6.13
2) Windows 7
3) It happens most of the time I refresh the page, regardless of how long it's been since I last refreshed it. It also sometimes happens when I go to a new page on the forum.
4) It varies. Oftentimes, I'm logged out 3-4 times during one visiting session.
5) Just now. It's been happening for the past six months or so.

Also, I rarely use the quick login. I almost always use the full.

Big smile

I just realized something - this has never happened to me, at least to the extent that you're experiencing it Anthony. The only thing I experience is when I go to post a review, it's logged me out of the main site, but I've never been spontaneously logged out of the forum by refreshing. For me, it's simply a disconnect between the homepage's login server and the forum's login server.

My info is:
1) Google Chrome 13.0.782
2) Win 7
3) Posting a review, or anything else on the home page that requires me to be logged in (ie editing an album)
4) Virtually constantly, when I visit the forum I seem to be logged out of the home page
5) Actually last I remember was the last time I posted a review before today... which was last Wednesday. But I haven't had any reason to be logged on the home page since then so I'm sure (although it seemed to be working today)

My problem is more logging on to the forum and then going to write a review, and I'm not logged on to the main site.

With Opera, you cannot:

- Write and add a review

- Operate the Admin panel

- Add new albums

But I can:

- Add new interviews

- Write in the forum (as I do now through Opera)

This is a case of the forum software losing the coockies, isn't it? It can't be a concidence that the logging out issue came back with the issue of losing the "last login time" halfway through the process of checking the New Posts. This is the bug I hate most at PA (even more than Access Denied).

Let's hope the new forum engine 10.03 (now we use 9.69) will fix this ;-((((

I will upgrade in the next weeks or so.

Indeed it has. I resisted mentioning it again, but it's persisting.
