The forums autmatically logs me out while surfing through the forums. Is it my computer's promblem or what?

The forums autmatically logs me out while surfing through the forums. Is it my computer's promblem or what?

I had this issue for almost 2 years. I basically click "Log me on automatically each visit" each time when i go here. Now's what's odd that I like to click "hidden status" only to be unhidden if I close my browser without logging out. Ironically all those times when i'm "online" is when I'm sleeping

IN my case, it's more like I sign in, I don't hide my status but check the 'always log me in' section. However, when I pass to quickly in the forums with arrows, (backspace towards the forum, click a thread, and click post in 2 secs), it suddenly logs me out.

Something similar happened to me a few months ago

Try cleaning out your cookies and cache with something like Ccleaner

I never clean them. Is that needed?

It's probably the first thing you should try out when this happens

It's because your IP changes. Your login session is tie to your IP.

Oh. That explains a lot.

Who?

[ben1234]

You obviously

Actually, my IP address shows up around...200km from where I live. 200 or 300.

[Poke2201]

That sort of means you are on a proxy...
