I just tried this, a logon was forced for a session that hadn't been active for a while. Then once I logged on I was able to reply without an additional logon. Nothing has been changed in the forum software. Can you retry it....... once you have just logged on then can you post a reply?

I’m also having a problem with log-in. Set to auto log-in and if I change to a different thread am shown as a guest. Had to log in again just to post this so something is amiss.

hello all

Just to help dozer work : Since I logued in after registration few days ago.. I checked "auto login" and I didn't need to login anymore since few days...

So On my side the forum works very great and there is no problems at all.. cessions have no expiry time.

Maybe you guys should check cookies settings.... also I use Firefox Mozilla and no IE !!

hope that helps :^)

Peace and Love 4 all ^^

I also tweaked a couple of settings so all can try again to make the sessions less restrictive.

still doing the same and apears to have a time on it left my pc logged in after 5 hours it had at some point logged me out i cannot see the point of altering settings at this end if nothing has changed i have not encountered this before

to reiterate if i reply to a post it will log me out after confirming message sent i then have to go to forum main page and start again on the postings if i reply further it will then log me out again ??? its never done this before???

geordie,

what explorer do you use ? what OS do u use ? does it does that with other forum ? if Yes i'll suggest you to format and install OS properly again..

or clean you cookies ans sessions settings...

also use Firefox ^^ I 've not been kick out or loggued out since i loggued few days ago.. that Confirm the forum WORKS properly.. and the problem is on your side obviously ^^ dig more your configuration and what has changed on your computer... fresh installed new software ? upgrading OS recently.. there should be a reason why... but of course Computering is often Mystical ^^

good luck with your PC ^^

Peace and FUN 4 all :)
Poi Fai ^^

That is strange as nothing in the phpbb installation has changed recently and it works OK from here, although I sometimes get logged out after several hours idle, in this case I just log on again. To Pai Fai's point, unfortunately it has a lot to do with the system on the receiving side (browser/cookies).
or clean you cookies ans sessions settings...
Yes, good idea. Here is what I would suggest:

1.) Install a few different browsers, firefox, google chrome, ie, opera. Try it under each environment.
2.) Clean cache in your system and cookies.
3.) Make sure you are configured to allow cookies.
