I know this isn't the right place but....

I use the old style forum presentation (green) and the system used to keep me logged in but now it seems to time me out. Anyone else noticed any differences or is it just me?

    I use the old style too. I haven't been logged out due to time (up to present).

    Edit: I'll keep logged on for the evening and see what happens.

    Mine kicks me out every so often (less than once a month) but not repeatedly.

    Last time you signed back in did you tick the box saying "keep me signed in"?

    Long live the green!

    The last time I changed things was when they introduced the new, improved (sic) version, whence I immediately set it back to the old version and have never changed, ticked or unticked anything since.

    It basically logged me out three times this PM due to inactivity.

    Mine has required logging for the first use, over the last few days.

    As gingercordial says, there's a "keep me logged on" tick box when you log on. You only need to tick this once (I have found anyway), then you should remain logged on.

    It has only started over the last day or so. Rebooting the computer or using CCleaner (it does not clean moneysavingexpert cookies) now logs me out. They never use to. Quite annoying.

    It started for me today. On initial log in, I was presented with the 'blue' forum. Despite ticking 'keep me logged in', having shut down laptop & returned shortly afterwards, I had to log in again. Twice already today:mad:

    Yes, started for me today. As you say, a reboot, even without clearing browsing history & cookies, forces me to log in again:(

    Same here. "Keep me logged in" no longer seems to work. Each time you end up in the logged out state
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Simply closing and restarting the browser, seems to be enough to force me to log in again.
