The forum keeps logging me out

#1

Post by Motorsportrace »

I'm having a frustrating problem:
Whenever I go here:
viewtopic.php?f=80&p=437844&t=10877
And I do an action (like going back to the main section, posting something, changing topic, etc.), I always end up being logged out of the forum.
So far, I had a lot of difficulties posting anything in that thread, since when I click the "Submit" button, it always asks me for my username and password.

I fear my IP address could've been marked as spam, so the website prevents me doing basically anything.

What can I (and, well, you :tongue: ) do?

I'm on this forum a lot and the system has not marked me as a spammer, so I doubt the same has happened to @Motorsportrace!

I just posted in the thread mentioned above without any issues. Sometimes I get logged out of the forum if I try signing in on multiple devices at once, but not always.

Have you tried deleting all cookies and internet history etc.?

Im also on here a lot.... and if I am or Paul) not marked as a spammer I cant see anyone else being tagged.

I have noticed that sometimes if I leave my browser open at TFL and wander off for a few hours I come back and it has logged me out. It also unchecks the "remember me" checkbox on the login page. I just reclick the 'remember me' checkbox and it stays 'checked' for a random length of time.
If I ever have any issues I head straight for the delete cookies button at the bottom of the index page.

Can't remember, I had any problems of being logged off recently. Maybe a few years ago I had some issues. The only thing I experience is that I can't give any thumbs up at several forum parts.

I don't know why, but it happens a lot to me in that thread, and in another similar one (also about the 1955 RAC tragedy).

Some weeks ago I started to post a lot in one of those threads, and then the forum started logging me out very often.

I wanted to post some videos in there but I couldn't, because every time I hit the "Submit" button, I found myself being logged out, therefore unable to post anything.

I'm not on my computer right now, and I can't test if it's still happening.
But I'll report back to you.

Oh, that's easy. You exceeded the maximum number of posts per thread for a single user! :tongue:

I get logged out a bit. Sometimes it happens two or three times in a day. Other times won't happen for two weeks.

Twice today though. Can't think of any reason.

I know this sounds simplsistic but have you tried using a different browser? I find I have some difficulty at various sites with certain browsers.

So far *touches wood* I haven't been logged out at all on firefox. I hope that helps :)

@Motorsportrace I upgraded the forum software from 3.2.5 to 3.3.8. Let me know if this helps.

Well, I thought: maybe I was too fast making posts in those threads, so the forum thought I was a spammer...?
