Auto logoff viewing Forums list!

So this has been happening for the last couple weeks!
Logon goes normally but after visiting any subforum the forums button throws me back into guest session until I login again. Then it's same thing all over! Tnx for help!

 

Yes, something has been happening differently, but I am not sure that you are actually logged-off, although it looks that way.

To illustrate what I see.... 1. Log in and see your icon in upper right as usual. 2. Click orange Forum button and you see Log In where your icon was, as though you were in a guest session. But you are not, you are still logged in (at least "partially"). At this point, if you go to a post with an attached picture, you will be able to view it as though you were logged in. You will also be able to make a post, or continue with a post that you started to write.

It also appears to be browser-specific.

 

More diagnostic info...Logged in with U/P and I don't see my icon. Scroll down to member's list, and I am not listed. Refresh and icon appears. Now, clicking the orange Forum button does not send me into limbo.

 

FWIW, I view AAC in the classic "blue mode" and I'm not experiencing this problem.

("Orange mode" makes my eyes bleed so I don't use it.)

 

Yeah, just checked that and if using vB 3.x-Fluid in account/preferences/style the issue is not happening here. It is only happening in AAC Updated v3 (AKA eye-bleeding orange style ).

 

What is the problem just staying logged in? I do that in the Blue version, and to check if I was shown as logged in, when I was at my sons house I went here, AAC, and was not shown as "on line". So can't see the reason to ever log out.

 

Just as an experiment I've switched over to "Orange mode" to see if I could replicate the problem. No luck: no matter what I do (short of clicking the "Log Out" button) I remain logged in.

(running Google Chrome version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit) on a MacBook Air with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6)

Now back to "Blue mode" before my eyeballs explode...

 

I run win 10 and FF. For the last several.....days after logging in......I have to refresh to get to my default blue.

 

Major tnx for responses! It's nice to know it's not just me!

Raymond Genovese tnx! Since HP insists we (which includes HP, TV, JC and I) use FF ESC (for like _Tutorial Business_ which for practical purpose extends to all of AAC {for me anyhow}) I'll definitely make point of asking if they have problem too!

Tnx for responses!

So I'm using blue style but staying logged in isn't option cuz security suite _crumbles_ cookies, LSOs and also totally wipes ALL history on exit

Shortbus ur correct! _Logged in_ status times out after short period of inactivity.

MrChips tnx! Cuz that's exactly what's happening to me! But also If I do ANYTHING b4 _backing up_ then I'm completely logged out!

OBW0549 That's right! It's totally intermittent problem! Which I say is worst kind for troubleshooting

 

But when I come back I don't need to go through the whole log in process again. That was my point. But then again I don't use a VPN or anything like that.

 

Shortbus how it works is you totally stay logged in but your _on line status_ (viewable to other users) times out after awhile of inactivity (Sry cuz IDK the exact amount of time prolly abt an hour or so)

 

For whatever it's worth, reloading at the bogus guest-view "forums page" fixes it for the rest of my session.

Thanks!

 

Theo Tnx! That's working for me so far!
