Why does the forum keep logging me out?
I have it set to remember me and it always has done so. Now, every time I leave I am immediately logged out.

Likewise here. It's been happening since the downtime over the weekend.

Me too. Glad I jotted down my password in my log book.
I had to log in once yesterday, but now everything is back to normal for me.
Using IE.
I had to log in once after the downtime on Firefox, ever since, it has worked fine.

Same as the above two posters for me.
I've been like this since about for ever. If I leave it for about ten minutes, it logs me out.
Same as the above three posters: I had to log back in once, but otherwise no issues. (This was with FF, by the way.)

At home (on FF) I now regularly have to log in again. At work (on IE) it works fine.
Perhaps it is a cookie issue?
I would recommend clearing your cookies, closing your browser, re-open then use the org then, it should work.

If you're using Firefox, have a look under Tools > Options > Privacy. Accept third party cookies is presumably ticked, as you're able to use the site. In the drop down box, it should read Keep until they expire. Underneath that is a box titled Clear history when Firefox closes. Untick it.

That box was ticked indeed. Thank you Pannonian for the assist. You earned a Pizzaguy award for helpfulness.

Any tips for Opera?

I only have a very old version of Opera, but on mine, under File > Preferences > Privacy, there's a box titled Delete cookies when exiting Opera, that should be unticked.

You know, it would help if people give more info, such a browser they're using, etc. If you ring helpdesk with the complaint "My computer doesn't work", but with no further info, you're not likely to get things fixed.

Latest version of FF, but it's been doing it for many many versions

What does it say in your Privacy tab? Which boxes are ticked, which boxes are unticked, what does the dropdown box say, etc.?
Hello,
It also does that for me with FF, but right now it doesn't. Maybe I need to reset the sessions.
If even the admin is having problems, then we're all doomed :dizzy2:

We are indeed. We've even found out that one of the admins uses IE. Blimey. :drama2:
FF, Opera, IE and Maxton. Not tried Chrome yet.
No problems here...
I have a whole bunch of computers which I frequent during a week. I had to log on one time on each computer since the last maintenance.
The last one at my work place today, returning from Swineflu quarantine, had the username and password ready in the log-on fields. I just had to press log on. Common for all is one log on and its been ok since.

Same here. I had to log in a single time, and that is it. And I do use Firefox.

Your workplace computer was suffering from swine flu? Did it have any injections? Silicon injections, perhaps?

Ya know.. I sneezed all over it, and a group of men in yellow suits rushed in and took it away. I don't know what they did to it, but it works sooooo much better. It's as if I just have to think about entering in data and it happens. AMAZING!!! Workdays are so much better....

No love with Opera (my usual browser). Works with IE8 (yuck).

Problem has reached my humble home.
I changed no settings at all. Close IE, log in again. again and again.

No problems here with Opera:
Version 10.01
Build 4682
Platform Linux
System i686, 2.6.31-14-generic
Qt library 3.3.8b
I really should get the Qt 4 build...

Just when we thought we had finally found a way to keep you out... :wall:

FF Latest Version. Al the advice you mentioned before has been followed, to no avail.
That button is useless for me (yes, I know it is caused by my cookie protection settings but I don't want to accept those cookies :shrug: - just getting my name on the tally of people that have this problem).

Under Tools > Options > Privacy, what do the following say?
Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session
Accept cookies from sites
Accept third-party cookies
Keep until
Clear history when Firefox closes
Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session - Doesn't exist
Accept cookies from sites - Accept
Accept third-party cookies - Accept
Keep until - Expire
Clear history when Firefox closes - Nope

Gah.. I have the same problem as the people above but I don't have this problem with other sites. :shrug:
I have FF 3.5.5

Is there any solution on the horizon?
It's kinda annoying.
Works fine in firefox. I expect you're using MS IE 8.0?
Mithrandir
11-19-2009, 13:26
Yes, Iexplorer, not sure what version.
But it's the forum, not my computer or browser.
Everything worked fine and I changed no settings whatsoever when this started happening...
Try clearing temporary internet files and cookies. In all honesty IE is not a good browser. Try one of the alternative free browsers on the market such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera.

I'm getting fed up with it now. Same on Opera, FF and chrome. :(
Mithrandir

Cleared everything, and it seems to be working so far...
thx :bow:
It happened to me the first time over a week ago, just like everyone else, but has never happened again since then. I didn't change anything or clear any files or cookies, it just happened that once for me.

I was having the same problems in FIrefox 3.5.5. Ended up removing the totalwar cookies via tools / options / privacy / show cookies and it looks like it's OK now.
Two things I can think of.
First, what others have said, purging one's cache/cookies/etc can sometimes fix this. It happened to me once also, but hasn't happened again.
Second, it could be browser settings. Firefox can do something called "private browsing", which automagically purges all user data when the browser is closed. This means cookies, cache, settings, url history, etc. The other part in Firefox is in the Options/Privacy tab, "clear settings" when done. If either of those are used, it could cause this behavior.
IE is a giant turd and I refuse to use it, so I can't provide any help there.

I might have found a workable solution for Opera users. I changed the expiration of the org cookie from 2 days hence to 2010-11-24. Instead of logging me out every 60 minutes, I've moved around the org for 4 hours now, uninterrupted.
Tools>Advanced>Cookies
scroll down to totalwar.org, left-click; highlight/select the second entry (starts with: "SESS1..."), click "edit", change the expiration date to waay in the future. Close.
So far, so good.
-edit-
nevermind. Logged me out after 6 hours.
Hmm, my Opera stays logged in, no problem here so far.

I tried that Kukri it was a bit better but as you said it logged me out after an hour or so. Thanks anyway. :bow:
