It's logging me out... again!

Anytime I navigate away from MNet (I know, I do try not to do it, but sometimes I need to look at other sites 'kay? Wink ) I'm logged out and have to log back in again. Even if I have two tabs running, it happens when I switch from one to the other.

I've tried it on a variety of devices and browsers;

  • iPhone running latest software update (7.1?) and using Safari & Chrome.
  • Kindle Fire using Chrome and Silk
  • Laptop running Windows 7 and using Chrome & Firefox. I couldn't bring myself to try IE.

It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

Tech did sort it last time, but whatever he/she/they have upgraded has reset it for me (at least!).

Okay, it's letting me stay in now. :)

On Chrome, Win7, it has successfully kept me logged in for 19 minutes now (and counting) so I would guess that as long as the browser gets the new cookie correctly, it will keep you logged in.

If anyone is on Chrome and is still being logged out, clear your mumsnet cookies:

Click on the three lines top left of the browser.
Click on Settings in the menu that appears.
Top right is a box that says "Search Settings"
In that box type in: cookies
Top item of the Search results will show Privacy
Click on Content Settings
Then click on the grey button that says All Cookies & Site Data
A box will appear, wait for it to load, then in the search box where it says Search Cookies, type in: mumsnet.com
Ignore things like www.mumsnet.com, local.mumsnet.com
In the one which says mumsnet.com, put your cursor over it so it highlights and then click the x on the right. That will remove the cookies, including the one which keeps you logged in.
Now go to Threads Im On and it should prompt for Login. Remember to tick the box to keep you logged in.

If that still does not work, then do the techy thing of Shutdown Computer. Turn it on and make a Brew while it reboots.

Hello there, Tech reset the cookies and is asking that you all double-triple-quadruple check that you are ticking 'keep me logged in' across all of your devices. If this doesn't work I'm getting the pitchforks...

coffeeinbed · 11/04/2014 20:23

Oh, just read that tech reset the cookies.

zoemaguire · 11/04/2014 20:22

Me too. Lenovo tablet.

IamInvisible · 11/04/2014 20:16

It's not even keeping me logged in when I swap between the tabs I have open for MN now!

coffeeinbed · 11/04/2014 20:14

It's kicked me out as well...
Am I now not good enough for here?

I'm on Safari.

Me too. iPhone 4, IOS 7.1. Safari not the app

nannynick · 11/04/2014 20:06

New cookie seems to expire in around 26 months time, so with luck won't need to log in again for a couple of years. by which time I will have forgotten the password

IamInvisible · 11/04/2014 20:05

Oh, yeah I have 3 tabs open for MN and open new windows for other sites and it chucked me out of them all!Hmm

blackteaplease · 11/04/2014 20:04

Me too this evening. I am using the mobile site on my android phone, the box is checked to keep me logged in.

Actually, just checked the desktop site on my laptop and that has logged me out too. Grr.

IamInvisible · 11/04/2014 20:04

It's doing it to too. I forgot to post a link, went to the site, came back to MN and had to log back in.

I'm on iPad, Safari,,IOS 7.1.
