i keep on getting logged out randomly - did this happen to anyone tonight already?

i got logged out like six times in a time spam of 30min on sunday. i do have my cookies enable on my browser.

please can some of the mods/admin/site admin okes please have a look at this please, cause its getting irretating (sp)

oh. yes. it happen to me alot ya. very annoyin.

The two most likely explanations are:

1. Your cookie settings.
2. 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 have been getting this as well (alot) :- (

Let me test it tonight on my 3g connection

I'm also experiencing it (and its started in the last day or two)
I can still post messages as me even when it says i'm logged out?

at the moment im just surfing on my Telkom account and it happend to me twice already.

route sentry is disabled & my cookies are enabled

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

im surfing from telkom here in namibia and it happend to me quite a number of times

Had HUGE probs last night - none tonight whatsoever.

Using Vodacom 3G for my sins

No problem on my side. Webafrica on SAIX

Using Iburst and Mweb on I dunno what

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

Yeah this is really annoying been happening all day to me too (never experienced this before?) ... using wireless dsl (ZWN) and IS.

I've had it happen on both IS and SAIX over the past few days

IS (Unilynx) at office and Telskum at home

Any problems since my aforementioned code change?

Nope. Thanks Master, God and Awesome Ron!!

Yep I just logged in, checked two threads and by the time another had loaded, I was logged out already

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.

no, but i've been fine all night

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?

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.

That's it.

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

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.
