Actually it quit about an hour after I posted.  After getting done doing the breakfast reading I went back and it was working. 

Now for some of the weird stuff.  After I logged back in once it told me I could not post my reply because it was a duplicate of what I already replied and I must have double posted (not the exact words).  Tried to view the topic to see and wasn't allowed.  Logged back in and well the post wasn't there.  It was like the forum had a max of 1 minute login instead of forever.  If I went fast I could get a post in.  By the time it took to hit quote and type one sentence it was too late and I was logged back out. 

Now I did my usual read order.  Started by going down past TBP which had nothing new so read Diaspora then went back up to modding then FRED the tech support.  No issues.  Went to SCP and when I got there all the icons were blank (note not new as usually happens if you aren't logged it).  So I was logged in for a good 10 minutes before this started.  Tried clearing cache, nothing.  Checked other forums, they worked fine.

Either way, if any one of you gets the chance to, please try the default SMF theme if it has similar login issues.

Because I'm fairly certain Goober removed the session modifications associated to the old mainpage we haven't used for ages and double checked it himself. Then there are no such bugs reported anywhere on the official SMF forums or bug tracker. So that leaves the Sandwich-cooked HLP theme, which I really don't think should cause such issues, but you never know.

But most of all, it's really weird that these issues seems to be limited to a minority. I had them when the session modifications were still in place, but since then no issues. It's beyond me why some people still continue having the very same problem despite the session modifications have been long removed.

At this rate I don't see any other choice put to remove all modifications, including HLP theme and see if problems still persist.

Two or three days ago I also had some problems with not staying logged in. But I noticed that you guys have made some forum changes (i.e. the move of the HW forum), and so I didn't thought about it. Since then, it works fine again. I have no more problems with that for weeks, and i haven't changed anything on my PC, still using firefox.

Two or three days ago I also had some problems with not staying logged in.

I've changed the cookie name that the forums use. I doubt that does anything but that'll be why you need to login back again soon.

[Fury]

Out of bloody nowhere. I was hit by this logout issue about 10 times in 30 minutes. What the ****? Also checked that changing theme back to SMF default did nothing.

[Lucika]

Well, whatever the case I don't care enough to dig deeper since I don't have any problems.

[Fury]

You'd think there is such a thing as divine retribution, don't you?

What's weird is that this issue lasted less than two hours, after which it seemed to stop as suddenly as it started. So far. But during the two hours I had to relog like after every third page load.

I just had it happen to me earlier tonight, and I haven't seen it happen for a few weeks now.  Weird.

seconding mong

How come I'm seemingly invulnerable to this logout glitch?

More importantly, has anyone had it happen if they try to stay logged in forever?

[General Battuta]

yeeep

[Shade]

Yep. Had to log in to post this, in fact. First time it has happened to me.

[Rodo]

It happened to me yesterday when logging from my laptop (which I haven't been using for a while) and today when I tried to enter from work, could it be related to being logged on multiple pc's?

[Shade]

Nope, or it wouldn't have happened to me.

[Fury]

Forum sources and theme files were reinstalled with bare minimum of modifications. I can't but hope the problem is not in those "bare minimums".

If you encounter a logout issue once, ignore it. Should it happen again and especially if it happens repeatedly, post here. I would advise logging out manually and then back in actually.

Just happened to me again. I got logged out a few hours ago when the forum came back up, and as instructed ignored it, and logged in. Then I manually logged out, cleared cache, restarted firefox and logged back in (forever). Went afk for like an hour or so, when I came back, found myself logged out.

[ktistai228]

just got one myself. Looked at the Volition would kill to make FS3 thread, pushed Home and found myself logged out...

[Shade]

Ditto for me. Viewed this thread five minutes ago, grabbed a cup of tea, and found myself logged out. That was the 2nd time after the maintenance, and I had followed the instructions and manually logged out and back in.

[Edit] And twice more now. Doesn't seem to matter what I do or don't do, whether I've been afk and read no other sites in the meantime, or been browsing the internet left and right.
