logged off while posting new thread

First of all, I can't say how much I LOVE the 'Similar Threads we found' popup when posting a new thread title. Brilliant.
My problem is not unique to this forum. I've wanted to respond to a thread or post a new one, worked at it for a while, clicked on either 'preview' or 'post,' and lost a good chunk of time's work when the server logged me off and didn't let me page back to save my text. Everytime it happens I swear I'm going to get some kind of keystroke saver, that I'll NEVER let it happen again, yet it does.
I don't know if there's an easy fix, but just being able to save that text would save a lot of screaming (I can't be the only one this has happened to). Many thanks on an excellent forum!

This probably happens to all of us from time to time. Of course it's most likely to happen if it takes you a long time to write your post. You likely then suffer from a timeout for apparent inactivity and get logged out.
The golden rule is, whenever you are making a longish post ALWAYS copy it into your PC memory BEFORE clicking send/post etc., as a precaution in case you have been logged out. You cannot rely on going back a page and hoping the text is still there. You should always copy into memory at any time the server appears slow as well, due to the fact it may not be able to process the post at the time you press send.

when you sign in do you click that little box that says something about staying logged in?

When on secure computers I run, I tick to stay logged in. It has not been an issue for me for a good while. If you take over an hour it might complain...
But just hit ctrl+C before posting
Also, chrome seems good at letting me hit back and still have my post

Being logged out automatically when replying

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem today or if it's just me.
I logged on this morning as I do everyday and when I tried replying to someone it told me I'm not logged in, so I typed in my details again and that same page continued to show until I shut my browser and opened another session. This let me log in but still when I try to reply to a post or even when I tried to view my control panel it logged me out and wouldn't allow me back in until I started a new browser session.
I've been monitoring it during my lunch time session and have had to close down and re-login multiple times but noticed also when looking through threads it was logging me out and in automatically from page to page.
I've tried both chrome and IE and both behave the same way. Thankfully I was able to post this so am hoping it stops doing it.
If it makes any difference I'm on the 2013 theme and I've never had this happen before today.
Thanks

I am using Firefox and I haven't seen that problem except at the very beginning of my time here last year, and then just a few times until it cleared up.

It seems when I have the "Remember me" box unchecked the problem arises but since ticking the box it isn't happening. I don't generally have remember me ticked while on work PC's but as said never happened before so hopefully just a glitch on my side.
Thanks

I am getting it too on my work PC (who knows what browser they use, it so filtered) but I also got that on my home PC (Firefox).
Frankly, it is making it unusable for me atm b/c I have to do all the steps you said above just to post. If I want to post multiple times in different threads, it can take more time to post the message than it did to type it. I've resorted to typing the message, then copying it and hitting post just to be kicked out, re-log in and clear caches/cookies and paste and post. It is a real PITA.
I've tried on 2010, 2013b and 2013b1024 just in case it was a theming issue. Am not having that problem on any other forums or outside internet sites that I have logged into but I have noticed it over the past two days, as well.

Did you try ticking "Remember me" when logging in as sorted it for me, I just had to remember to log out when I finished.

Well, let's see here.
Edit: No dice. Logged me out again. Tried it with Remember Me ticked and unticked.
Edit2: In fact, I just went to my tablet forums and it showed me as logged out. Then I clicked the XDA in the top corner to come back to this thread and it shows me as logged in. Must be ghosts in the machine.
Edit3: Now it is showing me as logged in right now, so I tried to go to the RC forums and got denied. Pulled up my phone forums in the Find Your Device (because I thought it might be something to do with my favorites/bookmarks) and it shows me as logged off. If I open the About XDA-Developers page, I am logged in.
Edit4: Sorry about these edits. I am only logged into THIS THREAD and not About XDA-Developers. I just got a PM and can't read it b/c it logs me out.

I've been experiencing this since Tuesday morning. Both in Chrome and Firefox. I've changed nothing and log in the same way as always. Happens when I try to reply and view my subscriptions. Tapatalk is the only way I can view and reply to anything right now.
Edit - this is happening both at home and work.

Same here guyz.... Have tried different browsers on different operating systems.... Same thing.... Anybody found the reason.... Or a solution?

This is happening to me too. I can get on once in every 100 attempts. I have tried everything, including changing browser, ip, computer, switching to xda 2010 and back, and ticking the remember me.

It's been happening to me for the last few days, I just ticked remember me, now I'm in for once!

The solution for this is to click the "Remember me" box when logging in. This is an issue that seems to have arisen due to a change in infrastructure on our end (I believe). It doesn't seem to impact all accounts however, just some of them.
If anyone has this issue after checking the "Remember me" box, please let me know.

Yes happening to me. If I clean everything in history of my browser, any browser, it logs me once. Immediately like I would post now it would log me out. It is happening in all the browsers with my account.
After getting logged out. When I again try to login, it would show a popup showing you are being logged in as nagpalkapil but would again not log e in and come out until I clean everything from history again including cookies etc. Has started happening for just last two days and was perfect before. Please help urgently on it.

Timeout being logged in

I suffer from a timeout when I'm logged in. I have to login every 15 minutes or thereabouts. Doesn't seem like useful, not even performance-wise serverside, because users constantly having to log in take up way more resources than them all being logged in doing nothing.

Just to be sure, you are aware that your timeout when I'm logged in is insanely short? I have to login every 5 minutes or thereabouts. Doesn't seem like useful, not even performance-wise serverside, because users constantly having to log in take up way more resources than them all being logged in doing nothing.
Seriously, at least make it optional or waaaay longer. Like a day or something.

There is no timeout that I've ever seen? As long I as don't clear my cookies, I never need to login.
Are you sure cookies aren't clearing, or are you not accepting cookies?

Oh my, you're right.[emoji14]It's my Cookie destroying plugin;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies
Luckily it has a setting to whitelist/ignore cookies at will.
Sorry, I'll see if I can destroy this thread to avoid further shame )

Awesome! But the thread is good, could help others who have the same issue. :good:

Not solved !
Unfortunately; I take it all back, it's STILL timing out!
It's not a cookie issue. There's no other website that has this problem for me or my browser (Mozilla Firefox), so it must be server-side.

The whitelist may not be working?
For kicks and giggles, have you temporarily tried a different browser. Just to compare?

Yes, I tried with plain vanilla chrome. It's not the cookies..

Let's see if anyone has an idea then. But XDA does not have timeouts that I'm aware of, so the issue may be somewhere at your end, but we can ask,

Logging out after 15 minutes is definitely a cookie issue. If you don't use cookies (ie, "Remember me!") then you'll be logged out after 15 minutes.

Samsung Pass login popup on every XDA page

Not sure if this is a Samsung bug or an XDA bug, but I get a popup from Samsung Pass on every page asking for my fingerprint to login. I am logged in, as evidenced by the dark theme associated with my account and the fact I'm posting this. Although up top in the right it doesn't show my profile pic, which makes me think maybe it's an XDA issue...

Definitely an XDA issue, something changed today and now it keeps logging me in every page I visit using the 2015 theme, I disabled auto login with Lastpass and it has stopped doing it, but seems the forums are requesting a login each page

Yeah every time I navigate to any page the logging in screen pops up. Really annoying :/

It used to always do it on the news/tutorials pages but now all of them
Looks like the top nav bar has been updated so I'm guessing a bunch of elves are working behind the scenes on something

I'm also getting a 403 Forbidden error when I click the email link to see replies to this post.

Deleting emails from lock screen

Something weird has been happening lately and its not just from the latest update. When I delete an email from my lock screen(pull down > delete), they end up popping back up a few minutes later. Im not swiping or archiving, Im doing the same delete maneuver Im used to doing.
Anyone else experiencing living dead emails?

Yeah, its weird. Ill delete an email(swipe down>delete) and its gone from my screen. Then maybe 15 minutes later it pops back up again and I do the same thing. When I unlock my screen and open my Gmail, its still there, not deleted.

Thanks for trying. Its not every time, just randomly. But still annoying.

Grrrrrrr. Just happened again. Deleted like 10 emails from the lockscreen (7 gmail/3 yahoo). 2 minutes later they all popped back up on the phone and my watch.
