Logout problems
For many years, I visited these forums once every several days, with no problems.

Logout problems
For many years, I visited these forums once every several days, with no problems. I always checked the boxes to "remember me" and to "hide me."
But for the past several months, almost every time I come here, it tells me I'm not logged in. And it keeps asking me to confirm my cookie settings.
I've tried deleting my forum cookies. I've tried to log in and then log out, and then log in again.
In short, I've had 2 strokes - the latest one in 2017. I'm too tired to have to keep remembering how to login and to have to keep telling it to both "remember me" (which it doesn't) and ACCEPT and IGNORE my cookie settings. Neither setting makes any difference.
So, after all these years, I am forced to stop visiting these forums.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Re: Logout problems
That is 4 users (myself inclued) with this issue. It doesn't seem to affect everyone. I do wonder if this is a browser issue?

Re: Logout problems
Perhaps it happens with devices accessing the network using wireless/mobile connections when the assigned ip changes during the roaming and/or switching between wireless and cellular network.

Re: Logout problems
I had that issue randomly, not every time, for a few weeks after the major phpBB upgrade a few months ago. Seems to be back to normal and not logging me out between sessions now and for the last few weeks.

Re: Logout problems
I have to login every time as well, but I use Temporary Containers in a Firefox-derived browser, so it might be on my end.
