We've seen some problems with people getting logged out. I suspect this is related to the introduction of SSL / https.

I will try to make it always redirect to https, and hopefully that takes care of it, but I don't have time this morning, so it'll have to wait until later today.

Aery posted that she is not able to log in / gets logged out all the time. Don't know whether her post is visible, it was in the moderation queue.

I had the same issue yesterday, when wanting to post, had to log in, logged in with facebook, system showed me as logged in, when I had finished my post, I got the error again that I need to be logged in.

Seems to work now for me.

A similar issue has been happening to me for quite a long time now.

I'll log in successfully on my pc, and then navigate to a thread and somehow be logged out. I'll sign in a second time, and then not have anymore issues.

However it often happens repeatedly when accessing the site from my phone.

I'm here! I get logged out whenever I try to 'react' to (like etc.) posts though. And also sometimes seemingly randomly.

Now it's doing it whenever I hover over my notifications.

Just curious, does it say http or https in your address bar?

I've now done this. I had similar log-out problems on my own mobile, so will now test on that to see if it helped.

it's now saying https - I'm not sure what it was on before, but it was probably http, as the problem seems to have stopped now

I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I think if you're on a mobile phone accessing the forum over the phone network, then there is a risk your IP address will change as you're moving around, and this can confuse the forum software.

Hey, I like the cool Halloween heading up yonder!

Hey, I like the cool Halloween heading up yonder!

Yea, very cool!

But wait, it has sharp teeth, so it's a carnivore...

That could APPEAR to be true... after Halloween, I often see squirrels diving in through Jack O' Lantern mouths in order to feed... and it always looks like the pumpkin is eating the squirrel, twitchy tail hangin' out of the mouth and all.... LMAO

Thanks! Well, it's the same old Halloween decoration we drag out every year ...!

I've never thought of that. Is it cruel to feed it a vegan diet?

Well, I haven't been here a full year yet....

Heh! I guess I wasn't following this thread enough. I've just removed Tapatalk from my phone because I couldn't seem to view VV on it anymore.

That reminds me, I should try to install that notification add-on I mentioned before so that your phones will beep every time you get a VV alert

When is this coming?

This is now installed! Very exciting!

To enable it, you have to go to your account settings for external accounts, click the 'Associate with Pushover' button, and then follow the directions from there. At one point you have to download an app (for your mobile device) or a plugin (for your favourite browser). This is a free 7-day trial, and after that you have to purchase it for a one-off cost of $4.99. (Or I think that was the price, can't remember exactly.)
