Not staying logged in to the forums?

By StevenO, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Am on the only one who is experiencing this issue? All of my access to the forums is through one computer and up until recently I haven't had to re-enter my password every time I come back here. Does this forum not have a "keep me logged in" box somewhere or have I just somehow disabled that and can't find it again?

I'm ok on multiple devices.

I've had that issue, the forums are also taking a long time to load

I am also having the issue. There is a great disturbance in the force.

If I login from a different machine I have to use my password. When I go back to the Kindle after using the other device, I have to login again.

On my pc and ipad stays logged in. On my phone (android) I have to login each time. Fields are pre populated with username and password though.

No issues here across four devices.

Ditto. Got logged out just now.

Annoying and new.

Been going on with me all day as well, at least we know we aren't alone.

Just the iPad for me.

yeah that has happen. But FFG forums got hacked obviously as the SPAMBOT assault on the main X-wing forum is horrendous.

I didn't have a problem with having to relog everytime I visited here, until I read this thread. Now I have to login everytime I leave and come back.

lol thought it was just me... so whats up with it?

Annoying and new.

Have this issue since today.

I've had this since yesterday. My completely ignorant guess: some kind of software update led to this problem as well as the loss of security leading to the Trade Federation Spam Droid invasion.

Might be the case or an admin 'lost' his password yesterday and the bot invasion was prepared yesterday already which called for a few changes in the forum settings.

I didn't have a problem with having to relog everytime I visited here, until I read this thread. Now I have to login everytime I leave and come back.

I hope it isn't because of me or this thread.

I was just asking because I managed to stay signed in for most of my time on these boards but the past week or so it seems I need to log in every day and sometimes every time I revisit even if I haven't closed my browser between times! I did see a "keep me logged in" check box again yesterday but that doesn't seem to have worked very well as I had to reenter again today.

Same issue for me. I checked and rechecked that "keep me logged in" box and it doesn't work.

I wonder if that was an exploit that spammer used to launch a repeated attack?

Right now I have to log in with remembered credentials but it's only adding one extra step to getting onto the forums.

Man, and here I was thinking it was just a fluke of the Internet at the hotel I'm staying at. Silly me. I'm eager to get back home and see if it continues to be a problem.
