I keep getting logged out

I had also got same problem . that cookie clearing is not working !

I observed one thing. whenever my internet disconnects LQ is logging out !
My modem keep disconnecting for every 10 min approx. May be the ISP problem. But this reflecting at LQ. keeps on logging out for every disconnect !!

As in the OP, I am generally logged-in perpetually, even after reboot or whatever, I'm still logged in.
I *thought* I was over the initial "logged-out-ness" caused by the upgrades, but I have since discovered that every time I turn around, I'm logged out again.

NOTE: I have just now closed all LQ tabs I had open, and went to the cookie-clearing page linked above by Jeremy. Then I logged back in and am here right now.

I'll report back here in a half hour or an hour, whether that solved the problem for me.

Thanks,
Sasha

As I promised in my first post - I am reporting back to say it's still logging me out! Very annoying...
Oh and the other related symptom is that since the logout problem it seems to constantly forget my password and I have to re enter it. Before I could just login via my bookmark and all login details were automatically filled in for me. Seems to be some problem with those cookies.

I closed all LQ tabs, logged out from LQ ( it needs 2 times clicking of logout button for me) and opened only LQ cookie clearing link given by jeremy.

Again the problem was same . Not solved. Need to login agian and again for every disconnect of my internet.

I don't know how to remove cookies.

I once got to that page accidentally and it hasn't helped. Anyway, I intentionally tried opening the page again, closing all LQ browser tabs, and opening LQ tabs again. I will see if this works.

I had tried with Firefox, Opera and konqueror. Only konqueror was able to handle this issue. FF & opera are logging out. If the problem is with website then all browsers must function as same.
konqueror is quite different from other browsers ?

I hadn't thought about it, but this was happening to me on my Ubuntu desktop today in both Chrome and FF. It hasn't happened at all on my slack-current machine although there was some serious weirdness regarding clicking on any link on the site taking FOREVER to do anything, but that seemed to resolve with a reboot (I had just done the latest slack current upgrades)

For me it is now proven to be broken somehow; I can tell when the LQ-Spy stops spying, that I am no longer logged in (i.e. the session is invalid/expired I guess). I just had to log in again a few minutes ago.

I manually deleted all the cookies (using the webdeveloper add-on tools) and now I'm able to stay logged in.

I expect the issue is the the removecookie page is not actually removing all of the cookies.

Thanks for that idea MrGoblin -- I just manually deleted all mine using "EDIT -> PREFS -> PRIVACY -> COOKIES" and logged in again. Let's see how this works

Me too but it didn't work. Firefox 3.6.

GrapefruiTgirl · 03-14-2010, 12:56 AM

Looks like it's working for me

as it's been 3 or 4 hours now without trouble. Fingers crossed! (FF 3.6 too)

I just restarted the ADSL modem, confirmed that the ISP had assigned a different external IP, refreshed an LQ page, clicked "View New Posts" and remained logged in. Looking good ...
