log out automatically? - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 28th Nov 09 at 6:14am
ok this has got me confused.

I login and a few minutes after I go to anything like the admin panel, and it says I don't have permission to access it. But I have the option set to FOREVER, and my browser which is FireFox 3.5.5 does not delete out cookies, so it should keep me logged in, even if the delete cookies option was ticked, it would delete it on browser close.It's not one particular forum, but it's all of them, besides Support.

Also I had to type this in notepad, as if I tried to type the letter "h" insert hyper link would pop up.

With regards to typing the letter 'h', just press the 'Ctrl' key. For whatever reason, the system thinks the 'Ctrl' key is still held down. I'll take a look at the separately.

Can you check three things for me. Firstly, what timezone is your PCs clock set to (and is it at the right time). Secondly, what does the current time appear as to you on one of the forums this is happening on (once logged in)? (this should appear in the footer). And thirdly, can you provide an example of a forum this is happening on.

currently my clock says 4:27PM CST which is correct (same time as my phone) and on that forum:
All times are GMT-6 :: The current time is 4:27pm

Thanks. Based on the initial checks everything seems to be fine. I did notice one potential issue which I have fixed (cookies may have to be cleared for it to take affect). Although as I say, that was only a potential issue. In theory it shouldn't be a problem but it all depends on how the web browser handles the cookies.

Well I never delete cookies, so there shouldn't be a problem with that. But I have not noticed logging out yet. I've been able to stay logged in for 2 hours now with no logging out.

Thanks, if there is anymore problems I'll post it right away. {Smile}
