I'm in the same boat with the added twist that even after I've logged on for every single session it will dump me back out even clicking between pages...
This sounds like a browser issue rather than forum-related as this is currently the only report of such behaviour.
I’m also getting this across multiple devices (chrome & safari), but I don’t experience it on other sites.
OK - so it isn't an isolated problem but equally not an issue affecting all users (I haven't experienced any of these symptoms, for example).
I'll pass this on to Neil to investigate.

Thanks Charles.
If it was a browser issue, do you have any more advice what to check for? I’ll check it isn’t my end, but not aware anything has changed on either device.

You might try clearing history, cookies and cache to remove any conflicting instructions.
This tends to resolve browser issues in most cases.

Hi Guys
Not seen this behaviour so a few questions :
Does it always happen ? or just sometimes ?
If you have more than one browser does It happens in all of them.
Does It happen on all your devices the same way?
Charles suggestion is probably a good idea - especially as mobile browsers and pc browser share context these days - so you'll have to do it on all devices to make sure it's cleared out completely.
Thanks
Neil

My issue was mainly with Safari on my iPhone but have also been getting it on Chrome (pc). Have cleared browser history and cookies etc and so far it’s behaves correctly on my iPhone. Will confirm if situation is also improved on pc when I’ve had more time to check.

Anyone else having issues posting replies?
I can post sometimes (here for example) but in other threads get a 403 access denied error?

Not aware of any issues but will investigate
ETA this has posted without issue and I've posted elsewhere too in this session so I guess it was a brief and/or local issue and not site-specific

I've not had any further issues for a week or so.
B3FNA - may be worth trying a cookies/browser history delete across all your devices as that seemed to help my previous issues.

Chris,
Did you find a fix for this problem? Since the second forum outage I now have to login every time I visit the site even after ticking the remember me box.
Thanks.
As mentioned earlier, if your browser is set to delete cookies/history each time you close your browser, then it won't remember you
I should have found the fix for this problem a bit quicker.
Although I tried clearing out the cookies etc on my laptop, I did not tick the Clear passwords box, something I have never done in the past. Doing this has fixed the Remember Me login problem so I will keep an eye on it in the future.
