Site keeps randomly logging me out

Support

Sometimes it will keep me logged in for 2 days and some days 1 day or less. I can’t seem to figure out why either. Even after I have deleted all C&F cookies, it will still randomly log me out.

We have the server configured to preserve login sessions for 1 hour. The exact time seems to vary according to phase of the moon or something. But you shouldn’t count on more than 1 hour. If you have “Keep me logged in” checked, then just revisiting or refreshing a board page should reactivate your session.

I forgot to mention that I always do have “Keep me logged in” checked. Yet it doesn’t seem to be doing that though.

I don’t know then, Skyclad. It’s working OK for me with the Chrome browser.

Try logging out manually, then clear both the C&F cookies and any cached C&F pages. Log back in and check the box again.

I should mention that over the past couple of days we’ve had a few random server crashes lasting more than 1 hour, which bumped all logins off the board. Maybe you got caught in one of those.

I’ve done that, and that hasn’t changed anything unfortunately.



That’s a good possibility.

I have found myself also getting logged out, under 2 circumstances:

  1. Problems accessing Chiff and Fipple. Site has been down many times and unable to access, up to about an hour. Often when finally accessing, I will need to login again.

  2. After accessing C&F from another device, such as a smartphone, I may need to login again when accessing from a different machine.

I can deal with it.

I’ve been getting this problem for at least 3 months now, but it only happens on my mobile Chrome browser (iphone). When it happens, I always get a warning message that I’m trying to go to a “bad” site. Then when it lets me in on the 2nd attempt, I have to log back in. It doesn’t happen on my laptop browser, though. I think I actually made a thread about it a while back.

EDIT to say: Yep. I did make a thread about it.

It’s not as frequent as it was back then, but still happens occasionally.

I get this issue several times as well lately. About once a week this will happen


A quote from that thread;

Could this be a possibility?
