Bob - I use my email address to login, not my username. [;)]
I misunderstood you, Bob. Call customer service, though I suspect you’ll have to keep logging in the same way.
Not complaining Bob but why does it seem just to afect just certain ones? And it seems like it isn’t that high as I only see like maybe 10 that post here anyway.
I’m pretty certain that if the problem exisits here, it happens in the other forums (Trains, Classic Trains, Garden Trailways, Model Railroader, Astronomy, Discover, etc.) since they all use the same system on the same servers in Florida.
Bob sorry wasn’t clear. Why does it only happen to certain people not others. Like I have been lucky I guess as it has not affected me.
Seems to happen to me any time I loose my cookies.
Penny, what kind of cookies are we talking about, I like oatmeal cookies. Bad joke. [:$]

God Bless
Looove oatmeal cookies! [:D] But I don’t like oatmeal! [+o(] [(-D]
Bob,
I figured it out!
- You have to log in every day from the same device. If you miss a day, you lose.
- Use only one device, if you log in from another device, all of them get cleared.
Agree! I go back and forth between my iPad (to read posts) and my laptop PC (to make posts that contain photos). Happens every time.

I don’t think this explains what happens to me.
What is it that “you lose” if you don’t log in every day?
What do you mean that “all of them get cleared?” What are they that get “cleared,” and what effect does “clearing” have?
My trouble is that I can’t log in at all without leaving the mis-named keep-me-logged-in box; and then, when I get in, I am repeatedly and arbitrarily logged out as I try to navigate the forum.
Bob,
I was tracking my login issues. I don’t move from forum to forum so I don’t know about those issues.
I’m not sure if the new service they are using uses ‘cookies’, which I suspect they do, but that would be what is getting cleared or whatever other method they are using to track logins.
I began to notice in the last week or so that I haven’t had to log in repeatedly to continue a session. I waited to be sure before posting this. I can even log in with the “keep me logged in” button unchecked. Thanks to whoever fixed the forum! I hope this change helps everyone who had trouble.
I spoke too soon. It’s logging me out capriciously again.
Happens to me quite regularly.
I am watching this here. Just started doing so, we’ll see here if I get auto-logged out.
It might be interesting to try to track which type of devices have the issues, and which OS have the issues.
My end, every once in a while some website will hack up a hairball on me, but because of the stuff I use, there aren’t the bells and whistles that seem to cause these issues nearly as often.
Sent from my trusty PC using XP SP3
(Edit: I logged in with my OLD password here…no prompt for new password or anjy of that…so far)
No issues so far this morning. Shut down last night (no specific log out), CCleaner run as always, with Klambake Cookies saved, and still logged on this morning.
Still posting, apparently.
I should try the WinDoze 95 machine just for giggles with IE4 and see if that works.
That was a joke. However, I do have the 95 disc set, still…
For me, the logging-out always happens when I’m switching from one view to another, never when I’m just reading a static page or typing a post. For example, it might happen when I go from the top page to read a specific topic, or when I return to the top afterwards. Another example: It wouldn’t surprise me if I found myself logged out after submitting this reply.
I did read as many of the various scenarios as I could before posting. I seem to have no problem jumping from one view to another, one Kalmbake forum to another.
Still “testing” as it were, trying to see if my legacy software has the issues the latest stuff does.
