The two most likely explanations are:

Your cookie settings.
You're behind a cluster of proxies with widely differing IP addresses. (I'd be interested to know if those experiencing this issue are using the SAIX proxy servers, because this is a problem with SAIX and their international transparent proxies.)

I'm using a SAIX account (without a proxy) at home and an IS account at the office, and am not experiencing this.

I've just made a code change that may sort things out if the second issue I mentioned earlier is the problem.

hasn't happened to me in a few days but friday and saturday were really bad, on my phone, at UJ and at home. Ron, I like alot of other people think am starting to think it has less to do with us and more a bug in PHP

Has this not got anything to do with the domain name change? I remember someone saying it's now netmag.co.za, and I know that when I click on Papercut's links (he uses the E3.0 domain, I use PCFormat.co.za) I get logged out.

Prime · Post by **Prime** » 28 Jul 2008, 21:31

no, but i've been fine all night

Post by **Monty** » 28 Jul 2008, 22:13

Hmmmm..... I'm having problems again now

Yes, and that's because the cookie that stores the session information is bound to a specific domain.

To the guys experiencing this issue - what domain are you using?

Prime · Post by **Prime** » 29 Jul 2008, 08:22

Domain? as in pcf or e3? Which we registered with or which we use to access the forums?

excuse my ignorance, my knowledge of internet systems and networks is very limited.

Me on pcformat
PCF FTW!
Hasn't happened today yet

Post by **Stuart** » 29 Jul 2008, 08:38

I am using pcformat.co.za, with a Webafrica connection, and using dsl-cache.saix.net:8080, and have had no logging out issues whatsoever.

But I am using Vista.
