I am currently not signed in. On the top right of the screen i have the traditional "sign in" and "Register" buttons. If i click sign in i am asked for my username and password...

So how am i posting then? If i click "my Stuff", i can see all my posts and "My Profile" works as usual.

This means I am not able to sign out, and if i was using a shared pc I am not confident that when I sign out, my session will have ended properly.

Same for me.

At the top right, it says sign in or register. I click sign in, a window opens with all my stuff on it - save changes. It just comes back to sign in or register......

It's not as though I haven't been moaning about this for months! I started a thread on it!

EDIT.

There you jolly well go

Not just me then biggrin

For me it started happening in the last 24hours. Using Chrome 83.0 on Windows 10.

I have always had the bug where it won't keep my signed in between browser sessions but as I never close my browser between reboots and only reboot once a week it doesn't really bother me.

You can still sign out as it were, click on "Sign in" and then "Sign Out"

I've had a bug for ages where often it'll say to sign in (as opposed to hello Crofty1984) and then when you click sign in, it just does it all automatically, not requiring password or udername boxes or anything.
Though now I also have the "edit your information" screen pop up instead.

It doesn't appear to be browser or OS specific, because I have it on Chrome/Win 10 and Brave/Android
