Getting bumped off a lot lately...

#1

Post by flintknapper »

I having to log in over and over lately. Losing text that I was about to post, and having to search through posts for the most recent ones because you lose the ability to use the "check posts since last visit" feature.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thanks, Flint.

I have not run into this problem from either location I access this forum from daily. Good luck figuring out what is going on...I know it is irritating!

It has happened to me twice, I thought it was something I did wrong. I posted to one thread and rechecked the next day to find out what I posted was not there. Could be because we are getting to be a large community?

The phpBB software seems to have some "issues" when everything doesn't work perfectly.

My union's forum is currently unavailable, and has been for several weeks. It also uses phpBB. After a server crash, we're able to see the userlist, but can't log on.

:sad:

Greetings--

No problems here getting booted off nor connecting from several locations (home, hotels, dial up ect).

I do however occasionally have to log back in. My guess is that whenever the board's software/server gets restarted, it requires a new login cookie. Annoying, but not critical IMO. I see that happen on several other Forums I participate in with both this and other software packages.

I'm having this exact problem, and it is frustrating. I suspect some browser configuration parameter, but I don't know which one. Do note that I do not automatically log in (when I try that option, it doesn't work for me anyway).

Just a thought. Have you tried a different browser. If You are running Microsoft. Internet Explorer 7.0 is now available at http://www.microsoft.com and Firefox 2.0 is available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Firefox will leave your current browser alone. IE 7.0 will write over you current IE 6.0 install though

I installed firefox and so far, so good. That tells me this is a local problem when it occurs, not a forum problem.

Thanks,

Check your book mark - if it has a session ID attached to it, edit that out so that the bookmark just points to the primary URL.

If you have the forum bookmarked, and the URL looks like this:

http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... hp?[b]sid=[/b]51106bc8def.... etc.

The "sid=" and the number that follows it is a "session ID". Using such a URL as a bookmark can cause problems.

I use this as my bookmark:
http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... d=newposts
