automatic log out

debtmuncher

how long is it before you are automatically logged out?

i get the impression its not even a minute!

happening alot to me and its quite annoying having typed a message to discover i have then lost it because i got logged out. i am a fast typer but not that fast!:p

A lot of people seem to be having this problem at the moment. Hopefully someone will get it fixed soon.

See this thread on the Techie Stuff board:

MSE keeps logging me out.....

and on Site Feedback:

I Keep Getting Logged Out, Is It A Glitch?

That used to happen to me a lot, so now I always tick the 'keep me logged in' box when logging in, and then just log out when/if I need to. It never seems to boot you out if you do that.

Tick it before you click login

that box says 'remember me' - i thought that was so the next time you open the page , your name and password are already typed in so that you only have to click 'log in'.

I use IE for MSE so don't " clear cookies" every visit and eveytime i click on the forums i'm still logged on

I use firefox for my daily clicks and banking stuff and clear cookies every visit

It happens to me too, although I do waffle on abit though in my posts After clicking submit reply I get asked to log in again, I do this but don't press anything else, it takes a few seconds but my reply has been submitted when I am logged in again.

Are you clicking on 'proceed' as soon as you log in again? this could have something to do with losing your original reply.
