I keep getting logged out...

Post by Dark_Lizerd »

I have been having a problem lately...
After logging in and I move through the forum, I keep hitting a "You must be logged in..." messages...
Some times, even after logging in, I hit the back arrow on IE and I must log in again...
And, more often than not if I try to post anything, I get logged out, and loose what I typed...

I never had this problem before I got sattelite internet...
Where is the information stored that shows if I'm logged in or not???
Could there be the delay with the sattelite that causes the log out issue, or could it be a problem with my system???

It looks like it.

The problem seems to be that you get a new IP address each time you load a page. The cookie is tied to a specific IP address range and kicks you out if your new IP is outside that range.

You can check your IP and see if it changes widely, for example here: http://www.whatismyip.com/
The IP will look like this: XXX.XXX.YYY.YYY, where the X numbers must stay the same, the Y numbers are allowed to change when you reload the page.

if it is your isp changing your IP wildly then you could try using a proxy service so your IP stays the same as far as your browser and the forum and cookie know anyway

Thanks, I'll watch the IP adress and see what's up there...

... Oh great fun....
I checked that link and saw my IP adress...
refreshed the page and got a new one...
refreshed again, and it was back to the first,
checked again, and guess what... yet another one....
Grrrrr Just one more reason not to like my provider!!!

And thanks for the help guys...

I have satellite internet too, (only option, obviously). I have not experienced any problems like this (yet). I use Firefox as my browser. Not saying it will help, but might be worth a try to switch to a different browser and see if the results are the same. I know the browser has nothing to do with the IP assigned by your provider, but I'd try anyway, just to see.

Good luck getting this resolved.

Best answer...
Mostly...
I don't get loged out constantly any more...
It could have been an issue with my anti-virus program... Avast...
There was an program update that killed my internet connection, and
from what I could determine, several others were affected so there were
several updates...
I downgraded the program, waiting for the next fix that will fix everything the last fix broke...

That is good, but then what I wrote here above was perhaps not the answer after all. I am sorry if I pointed you in the wrong direction.

I hope that you will manage to get a full resolve of the issue with the new update.

If being connected and having the IP address changes causes the need to re-log-in...
Then you were on the right path...
I was getting loged off before the latest update....
It could be the Avast, or something else, or a combo of several things...
At least. for now, I don't get logged off every time I change pages...
