Forum timeout problems

[Drail]

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and discussing subjects and helping people on this forum for years. This is a great forum but I have decided to log out and never return because of all of times I type a post or a reply - the forum suddenly tells me I am not logged in and deletes my post. I don't know where exactly the problem lies but I am sick and tired of it. Good luck to everyone here.

INGO does have a short time-out, that's for sure. However, if you let your browser save your password, you can USUALLY just hit 'log in' when prompted and continue on your merry way.

You can also just check the little box (remember me) to stay logged in and not worry about it. Knowledge is power.

My phone will do that occasionally, and yes I hit the remember me.. I have learned to... Highlight and copy..
Before I hit the submit button, so if I am logged off I still have the sentence or paragraphs I have typed, and paste it and then hit submit.

So, you can login on your phone and check the "remember me" box and you will still be logged off?

Sometimes if my phone sits awhile it will log me off not just here but other forums also..

If you allow your browser to set cookies, that work as well.

He also could be clearing his history, cookies and so on, causing some of his problems.

Not that you'll see this, but the problem is likely your browser. Clear your browser cache, and delete your cookies. Or try logging in using a different browser (e.g. if you normally use Chrome, try using Firefox).

Type faster? Seriously though, I've never had this issue on PC. Likely an issue with your cookies/cache as others have said. Potentially a slow OS as well.

You beat me to the question. It really is a disgusting PITA. Thanks Que for the 'remember me' box idea, I'll try that

On a tablet or iPhone, I have found that the most common cause for this is me.

Be sure you are NOT in "private" browsing mode. Your login information won't be retained regardless of how many boxes you click or cookies you delete.


If you're unsure if you're in "private" mode, launch a new browser window. If the word "private" is highlighted in a box, you have it turned on.


I usually stay logged in for weeks at a time with no issues.
