  • Why do I get logged out and then get a crappy thread list view?

    Occassionally I get logged out (although my cookie is good for a year supposedly) and have to relog in to Apolyton to post. Also this causes my view of the thread pages to change so that I get a less detailed view of the available threads (for instance I'm unable to see the "last post by" column. This is too bad, since that column is very useful to me in telling where to post.

    It uses the light style when you are logged out.
    You may alert this by adding &styleid=1 to the end of the forum URL.

        What browser are you using?

            Are you using any proxy server or filter that may alert cookies?

              I'm using a dial-up modem to connect to my work connection that has a Firewall. I think we I start up IE it says some things about searching for proxy settings.

              But how is that an issue?

              The lggin off happens infrequently (not automatically)

              ...may be connected with having lots of frames open based on last several instances

                Perhaps because you are ugly and you smell bad.

                More likely just a maintenance function of the board that logs posters off occasionally. It does it to me during long sessions.

                  GP,
                  I've had a problem with a proxy server (Firewalls are also proxy servers) that changes all cookies to last for 10 minutes instead of the default duration. That would log you out if you read a thread for 10 minutes, but the explanation by Lefty Scaevola sounds more realistic.

                    GP,
                    have you turned 'Brows board with Cookies' off in the CP?
                    If so turn it back on.
                    (I was in the CP changing style when I saw that option (Currently browsing with Netscape as it gives 150% faster page loads then IE, but some colors in the Civ3 style look bad, so I turned back to default))

                      Or maybe you smell bad too?

                      How's the tentacle?

                          I don't think it has something to do with firewalls or proxies.
