Repeated login requests

Post by FreddyFreddy »

Why does this BB keep requesting login? Is there a way to prevent this? Am on macOS Monterey.

I expect that once logged in I would not be bothered again. But answering a post often triggers login, sometimes pressing preview (which trashes the message being created). I dunno, just too often!

Just me?

I get randomly logged out every now and then too, it has happened to me on several devices with different browsers so I don't think it's just a browser thing.

So BB is this Forum? You can check "Remember me", but that may rely on your IP adress, or you have to enable cookies.

it's noting to do with browser?
I use Firefox both on Android, Windows and Linux (same account).
Android kicks me out and have to login every time, Linux and Windows remain permanently logged on.
I am using Link branch and Assembly3
you can also download ... and try it here
excellent Assembly3 tutorials here

It has happened to me on android, linux and windows with firefox, brave, chrome and vivaldi, some with fresh config, could be triggered by something in the browser but that sounds like a server issue to me. It's been ages since I last got logged out while writing a post but it has happened in the past.

Yes [For the youngsters...] The BB part derives from "Bulletin Board" originating in 1978(!) for dial-up. phpBB was first released in 2000, and quite popular. Albeit not so much nowadays.
