Keep being logged out

[KITT]

Hi Ted,

It seems every 24 hours or so I get logged out. I thought it could be my cookie settings but it happens on both my office and home computers.

any ideas?

cheers

[pwig]

So it isn't just me then!

[Big Al.]

Yep me too, frequently.

[KITT]

It seems to be ok at the moment on my home PC since Ted emailed me I'll wait to see if my work PC still does it.

[KITT]

Well, all working fine now on work and home computers

Ted , I keep getting this problem. No S,P & L , but the screen says "Hi,Z1000". I can't log back in because the log in page says the same. The only cure seems to be to try and post a reply like this one , and then I get the opportunity to enter my password.

[PetrolTed]

Thanks for the extra info. I think there's a clue there to what might be happening. I'll do some more investigation.

Now I don't have to log in to post this , but still can't see S,P & L

[z1000]

And then it appeared again

I'm still struggling to identify it.

What I really need to know is the expiry dates on the cookies that are being set in your browser.

If there's anyone who's experiencing the problem who doesn't mind getting a bit technical to help out it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not good with technical , but if you want to talk me through it , I'll tell you what I can

Ted,

I'm still getting this logging out problem. I do a fair bit of website stuff in my job so happy to assist with any techy stuff.

It's more than likely to be a cookie problem. It just happed so I had a look at the dumpcookie.asp page and noticed:

popup 01/04/2005 16:21:30

This is the exact time by session expired and I had to re-login. I've got a screenshot of the page if you need it.

[PetrolTed]

What I need is someone to run www.nirsoft.net/utils/iecookies.html which shows expiry dates. All I can assume is that the expiry dates aren't getting set correctly.

How's this:

Thanks. The mystery deepens. Your login cookies aren't due to expire for ages yet. Yet I suspect you'll say that you've been logged out again in a few days.

Indeed. I'll let you know if I do (although it won't be till next week now as it's my work PC that does it).

This is happening to me now. I can log in at work but not on my home computer.

[Chim450]

I think I may have a clue now Ted. I had no joy logging in on my home computer until I changed the URL to www.petrolheads.co.uk, it is now letting me log in from home, hope this helps.

Hi Ted,

It happened again yesterday at about ~4pm so I took a screen grab:

It's just happened again so I took another one:

These were taken just before I logged in again. I just logged in and have taken a third one here:

hope this helps

[PetrolTed]

Brilliant, thanks.
