It's logging me out... again!

357 replies

CelticJuggler · 30/03/2014 14:08

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!).

Still happening here, not even switching to other sites but flicking across to eg facebook app and it logs me out, well pissed off tbh

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 11/04/2014 22:24

has Tech fixed it yet?

I just had to log in again on PC once MN deigned to open Wink

nannynick · 11/04/2014 22:24

Oh, looks like it may be fixed Smile just closed chrome and reopened and it stayed logged in to mumsnet.

All About Cookies: Session Cookies - but no one really want's to know what may be causing it, do they?

Tech, bloodied but unbeaten. I'm Burgess Meredith in this photo (encouraging but basically on my way out).

It's logging me out... again!

Posted that too late... closing the cover on iPad must have tiggered the browser to end the session. Least that is my guess.

NearTheWindymill · 11/04/2014 22:01

Mine goes when I close the cover.

Bet they've got the gin out at the Towers Grin. Testing times.

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 11/04/2014 22:01

I always close the cover! but it doesn't normally log me out when I do (until the last couple of weeks)

nannynick · 11/04/2014 21:59

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile - so did you close the cover?

ShamTech - Great news, something to do with Session control?

HazeltheMcWitch · 11/04/2014 21:59

Mine logged out for the first time in ages too.
I hadn't closed the window, I was just browsing in another window - the 2 had been open for ages.

I'm on a Mac, using Safari 5.1.10 (wow, that's old !)

Ok thanks for the feedback. I can see the problem so I'm working on a fix.

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 11/04/2014 21:58

just gone back to ipad, opened cover, entered passcode, refreshed mumsnet tab, & it requires logging in again

shopafrolic · 11/04/2014 21:58

I moved from Safari to Facebook app, went back to Safari and it had logged me out. Giving up and going to bed.

DocDaneeka · 11/04/2014 21:57

Me too

iPad with latest update.

TheOneWithTheNicestSmile · 11/04/2014 21:56

it doesn't close down any other tabs in the same way

For those on iPad and not using the App (tip: Use the App, it is working)
What happened to cause the logout? Did you open a new tab in the browser? Did the iPad screen lock/power down?

  1. nothing
  2. no
  3. yes of course (it does that as soon as I close the cover)

I wondered why MN looked different then realised I was logged out. Using Firefox

unlucky83 · 11/04/2014 21:50

Actually thinking about it - I left MN open, mid thread for a while and it had logged me out too earlier...

(Nanny - that's a relief - that's why I have such rubbish p/ws for things like MN - keep the good strong ones for email, amazon, ebay, paypal, banking!)

eatmydust · 11/04/2014 21:49

happened to me for the first time this evening (twice) - previously I stayed logged in ok. Using Firefox and keep me logged in definately ticked. Assumed you had done it for security, so if you haven't it's all a bit mystifying.

I just closed my safari browser and it logged me out, seems OK though if I just go to other websites though. It had logged me out on iPhone and iPad both safari. box is ticked on all devices and no private browsing

SnakeyMcBadass · 11/04/2014 21:46

Logs me out every time I navigate away from the page. Box ticked. Using internet explorer on laptop.

CrazyOldCatLady · 11/04/2014 21:45

Happening to me too, Windows 8.1, Firefox 28.0, not private mode, keep me logged in ticked.

unlucky83 · 11/04/2014 21:45

Sham
Every time I close browser it is logging me out - on the log in page the 'remember me' is checked - and I have always had it set up that way - never usually log in.
As a test I unchecked and rechecked the box, closed the browser and tried again - and it had logged me out...
(I have cleared my cookies, history etc too)
