System Keeps Logging Me Out

fjrules · January 21st, 2018, 05:45 PM

Frustrating thing happening for a while now. I sign into VEF but every few hours the system apparently logs me out and I have to sign in again. It also happens at PS but not as frequently. Not sure if it's related to Firefox security or the forum. I don't use IE for this forum so can't speak to whether or not it happens there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You will be logged out after a certain amount of inactivity (30 minutes on this forum, I think) or earlier if there is a forum glitch which seems to happen rather often.

As explained in the FAQ, you can check the 'Remember Me?' box when you log in, so that you will automatically re-login after such automatic logouts. Only do this if you have full control over your computer so that nobody can steal your cookies, otherwise they obtain your VEF userid and a hash of your password.

Thanks. I always tick the "remember me" box. It does no good.

Browser cookie issue - a kind of corruption

Users being logged out too fast

after 4 pages the chosen solution

Try deleting all your cookies and getting new ones and see if that fixes the issue.

Seems more prevalent on laptops than desktops

Since i stopped using cc cleaner - never been logged out - maybe coincidence or not
