I keep getting logged out today...

[featherB 1]

It's driving me insane... logged out over and over and over again this morning - sometimes as soon as I log in, I'm logged out again! It's now happening whenever I view someone's profile as well as when I try to respond to a post... don't hold out much hope of this reply posting, it just took me 5 attempts to reply to another post. Very strange... Have rebooted (cheers, Dev! ), but that doesn't seem to have achieved much!

Wish I knew whether it was something I could fix, or if VJ just hates me right now! Oh, and yep, Mags, it is utterly, utterly infuriating... I did try to reply to your post (& Devilette's) with the quote thingy, but... nothing doing!)

My hubby says he thinks it could be your browser. If you're using Safari, try downloading Firefox. Vice versa if you're using Firefox, try using Safari instead.

If it turns out it isn't your browser, at least you can tick that off your list of possibles.

Hmm, that's a thought. Cheers, Mags (& MrMags!)... I'm using Firefox, but use Safari for just about everything else (when I first joined VJ, my Safari was playing up & would crash every time I hit the back button on here... so I started using Firefox for VJ, and have been doing so ever since, for some reason!!), so will give it a go and see if it behaves any better. It's not been so bad the last hour or so... only a couple of log-outs, rather than every time I try to do anything! Which is progress, I think!

We do have some security turned on to prevent hijacking member accounts. In some cases if a persons ISP checges their proxy server dynamically it can make this happen. I can try to turn this off for a day to see what happens. I will try it Friday perhaps so we can have a complete day?

No problem!

Glad to report that since I've switched to Safari this afternoon, it actually seems to be working fine... no log-outs at all! Shall I see how it goes (assuming nobody else is having such persistent log-out problems...) for a bit? Wouldn't want security things being switched off unnecessarily!!

But thank you, Captain (and everyone else!) for putting up with all my complaining... am hoping the switch to Safari does the trick! Didn't occur to me that it could be anything to do with Firefox...

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

Let me know!

As I said earlier, Safari works fine for me! Hope it works.

Excellent news, Feather. I shall tell hubby it worked and he can now say he has a feather in his cap.

Sorry to answer this so much later, but is this the reason why when I change computers I have to re-log in to VJ? I have a tendency to do this often as I have so many devices to read VJ these days.

Funny this should get bumped today - I was meaning to post again and say that since I switched to Safari, VJ has been behaving (almost) impeccably. I say 'almost' because while I'm not getting logged out, I do occasionally have to shut down the browser (about 3 times a day) because I will suddenly start getting some error message every time I try to open a thread (any thread, makes no difference) saying something about 'bad server response'. Doesn't happen on any other site (and like I said before, I use Safari for EVERYTHING other than, until the other week, VJ, so), so.... hmm. No idea what that's all about. When I quit Safari and restart it, it'll all work fine again (no login required, either!)

It's trying to tell you that you're spending too long on VJ....

It's probably got a point! (This reminds me... gaaaah, must go into the steaming hellhole that is the laundry room and attend to the laundry! I knew there was something else I was meant to be doing!)

Perhaps you should try out Camino.

[featherB 1]

Perhaps you should try out Camino.

Hmm, might move onto that one next (then again, Firefox seems to want me to instal some updates today, maybe they'll 'fix' it and I can try that again...) - I did start using Camino for a while last year when Safari was playing up, but it was really slow, so I got sick of it pretty quickly. If Safari AND Firefox keep misbehaving, I might give Camino another go!
