My issue is that during the day if I refresh a page almost everytime , it refreshes with me logged out and I must login again.
It's not really problematic, as such.. But...
I do use a recent version of Firefox and I don't have issues with any other sites.

I have the best luck with Chrome, staying logged in. Firefox has some settings for using the site data and cookies (accepting the cookies helps.

The "remember me" thing may also help, but my experience with that setting with FF hasn't been great.

Also, are you talking about desktop /laptop, phone, tablet?

Glenn.

It's just a force of habit of mine. Something I've been doing for years.
It also helps me to remember my appropriate deets/passwords, etc.
It's easy enough to do so it doesn't really bother me much.
And, this is my work PC which is on occasion accessible by others..

Matt.

I do accept the cookies. And as I stated, I never use the "Remember Me" features.
I am using a Desktop PC.

Anyone else having issues again staying logged in on this forum? The last couple of weeks, I am having to log into the forum over and over again. It seems that even clicking on the "Board index" link at the bottom of each article even kicks me out. I have removed all cookies and history from Chrome and even tried to change the style of the forum without success.

I haven't had the problem here, but I know another phpbb forum that has recently developed an issue with logging people off. When we started, we had a lot of problems and eventually figured out a set of server-based settings, forum settings, and local settings that seemed to work together. I keep 2 accounts logged in on Chrome and Firefox, and haven't had an issue in months.

I have seen some server glitches slide through, though. Maybe you're getting caught in some of that. Usually an F5 fixes the situation, but if you're seeing something I can try to see if I can help out.

In Chrome, go to Settings (three dots upper right), Privacy and Security, Cookies and Other Site Data, and under Sites That Can Always Use Cookies, you can add http://cadforum.net to that list. We don't do any funky tracking or sell data or anything like that. We just use the cookies to keep you logged in and remember your settings such as the theme you use. Using Version 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thanks @matt, I had that setting in Chrome already. However, I did not have the "http" part. I added a line with a "http" stuff and we'll see if that helps. I am also running Chrome Version 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) (64-bit). I have even been trying different forum styles and and am currently running the Elegance LightBlue style which is still giving me issues.

This is not a big deal for me because I use LastPass for all my online passwords and I do not need to re-type my password everytime.

This is still an issue for me...
I need only be away from my desk a half hour or so and when I return I am logged out..

It might be your sever timing out and re assigning a new IP address. I can't really do anything there.

Hmmmm.. I know little of these things..
I can however stay logged into say, Grabcad for example, for a long time . Even when I Hibernate overnight.
Meh.. No big deal.

Cheers Matt.

Alright, give it another try. I changed something that might ease up the requirements a little. Grab ad plays fast and loose with a lot of things, they may be lax on security.

Hello @matt Unfortunately, this issue is happening to me again (after a reboot to the computer, I have to log into this forum page again). Is anyone else having an issue again? I am just trying to see if it is on my side or not. It isn’t a big problem for me because I use LastPass so I don’t have to retype my username and password every time.

I have to login everytime I close my browser. There's also an auto-disconnect that causes me to have to reconnect every now and then after a period of inactivity but I doubt you're refering to either.

No problem here using Chrome.

Happened the other day I had to log in again. Otherwise, it's been fine for me.

Here's what happens to me. I'm a member of 2 other phpbb forums. None of them keeps me logged in on my cell phone (one logs me out every hour, another every other day), but CAD Forum and one other keep me logged in on my desktop all the time. Nothing here has changed in the last week. It might be browser or internet settings doing it to you. It's possible for my end to effect it, but I didn't make any changes recently. The time-out setting for me is set as high as it goes. There are so many ways to effect logins and cookies. I've asked my guy that I hire to solve serious problems about the cookies/login thing, and he says our settings are right, and that there are a lot of things that control that functionality.

Which is to say... dunno.

Gotta be a cookie or settings issue. My home computer never asks to login again......my work laptop logs out of the forums every hour maybe....not sure of the exact duration.

The last few days, the forum is forgetting my login also.

Yeap keep getting kick out.

And got the "spam IP check" a few times.

Due to the bot getting through in a way it shouldn't have been able to, I made a few changes yesterday. So you'll probably have to log in again, especially if you switch between devices frequently.

I've had to log in every time I visit for the last couple of days. The "keep me logged in" checkbox has disappeared. ("remember my credentials" maybe? I can't remember how it was worded.)

Same device at work. Kicked out and login at least 3 times today.
At least it didn't ask if I'm robot.

It just ask again.

Hmmm. Ok. I don't control the Spamhaus list.

Changed settings again. Give that a whirl.

The "Remember me" box is back.

Can't believe I got kick out here before the SWYMP .....
