It's logging me out... again!

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!).

Just happened to me for the first time - had to log in when I came back onto MN (I only left you to watch Constance/D'Artagnan videos on YouTube - sheesh: you'd think I could be given time off for good behaviour for that excuse) and then had to log in again when I clicked on 'threads I'm on'.

Am using Safari on a MacBook.

JadziaSnax · 11/04/2014 19:50

Lollyheart · 11/04/2014 19:51

Seems worse since the hacker. Hmm

MarshaBrady · 11/04/2014 19:51

goodtimesinbontemps · 11/04/2014 19:52

Logged me out too for the first time!

MaureenMLove · 11/04/2014 19:53

Oh and all all I did was refresh the thread I was on.

SteamboatSprings · 11/04/2014 19:53

Me too!!

GRRRR!!!!

Purplerunner · 11/04/2014 19:53

Just started doing it with me too. On a Kindle Fire using desktop site on Silk browser. Very annoying as if you click on a link in any thread, it logs you out again.

lookingforbaubles · 11/04/2014 19:54

logging out here as well

can you fix it please, the trauma of trying to remember how to log in/password/which email i have used is too much on friday evening

Dressingdown1 · 11/04/2014 19:55

Me too! On Galaxy tablet (android) and laptop (firefox)

PersonalClown · 11/04/2014 19:55

Just logged me out for the first time ever.

Chrome (not incognito)-desktop.

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 11/04/2014 19:55

It's logging me out when on Firefox at home, but it usually stays logged in when I use Internet Explorer at work . It also mostly stays logged in on the iphone, but not so much on the ipad Confused.

I'm glad its not just me, because I was beginning to think that the home laptop had caught gremlins or summat.

PirateJones · 11/04/2014 19:56

Oh is this a bug, it happened to me about half an hour ago.

I panicked and changed my password.... then thought i might have been banned or something.

All site cookies have been reset so you may be asked to login again on each of your computers/devices. If you tick the 'keep me logged in' it should work from that point on.

morethanpotatoprints · 11/04/2014 19:57

This is happening to me too, have never experienced it before.
It has done it about 5 times in past 20 mins, everytime I change page.
I'm on a normal lap top so it isn't just phones that are affected.

Bamaluz · 11/04/2014 19:58

Logging out here too.

Firefox, desktop.

Picturesinthefirelight · 11/04/2014 19:58

Me too (iPhone 4s on iOS 6)

I had assumed it was deliberate since the hacker but obviously not.

Was fine until about an hour ago.

TidyDancer · 11/04/2014 19:58

Just happened to me. On iPad in a safari browser. I came out of the browser to look at Facebook and it logged me out upon my return.

flummoxedlummox · 11/04/2014 19:58

It' happening to me Chrome, Windows 7
