Spontaneous logouts

Just did it again. I was changing forums

Are you running Firefox? Or have you set your internet settings to accept Cookies for "Session Only" or "Do Not Save"?

Because TBN uses cookies to keep you logged in. If you have a setting configured to not store the cookies, then your browser could be dropping the cookie after the "session" is over. And many times a session can last just a few minutes from the point of view of the web server.

I'm running IE6, and as far as I can tell I have cookies enabled.

Mine has been logging out on me once an evening while I am on TBN for the last few weeks. I was logged in for a few years without ever logging out. When this first happened I changed some settings on my computer and thought I fixed the problem but it is still occuring.

When I first turn my computer on for the day I am still logged in, but it will log out while I am reading topics.

Ideas?

Same here. No changes to the computer and no pattern I can recognize. I thought Muhammad might be tired of me hanging out here.

I've had this problem as well, only at work and only in the past couple of months. IE at work with all sorts of filters/firewalls/security and such. Firefox at home is fine. I can easily attribute it to work security systems but if anyone wants more details for troubleshooting let me know what to look for.

It's hard to diagnose because we don't have the problem. And most people don't. My only ideas revolve around either 1) Your ISP is doing something funny like a proxy-server or something to check cookiees, or 2) Your PC has _something_ built in that is killing cookies before it should be.
