Problem still happening with about the same frequency, despite clearing cookies. I am travelling this week so there might be a new batch of subnets in my access profile.

Weird. My logout problems have seemingly ended but now there's no differentiation between threads with new posts since my last visit versus ones without.

See Post 54 about that.

Still logging in daily, today I've done it twice. Once in the morning 9am and once about 5pm.
I stay properly logged in on my phone app, even after upgrading to the newest app version.

Even worse for me now, my password used to auto-fill, but it says it's wrong every time. So now I have to put in my password again every time :/

Strange. Usually if the autofill password differs, it ask to update it. You can clear your autofill settings so it saves the right credentials.

This is literally the only website of any sort that I use that does this behaviour of logging me out of the same device (mobile) everytime I move locations.

You say it was solution to some other problem, well now this is a IMO much greater problem. What's the point of cookies if I have to to keep logging back in several times a day?

Please remove the logout on different IP connection. It's awful.

So just now, I returned to RFD after having logged around 6:00 AM. This time it said I was already logged in but it also had the pink banner and the notice about it being my first visit. So I had to log out and then log back in to REALLY be logged in. Although I had logged in just 3 hours before, unread threads were appearing until around 6:00 AM yesterday.

This is the problem. There is a ton of activity here every minute/hour/day. Keeping up to date on the items I'm interested in takes an investment in time. But when you have to log out and then log back in and then you're presented with a long list of threads that are irrelevant, it makes the time commitment much worse. Other people have the opposite issue in that threads are marked read after a certain time expires even when they are not.

Furthermore, there is too much activity to select "View new posts" as it very quickly reaches the 250 post limit so you miss too much unless you return every half hour - something most of us can't do.

I realize that the logging issue has resulted in the read marked threads issue but that is a solution that hasn't worked. Having to Log in regularly is much less of a hassle than viewing incorrect signals coming from the thread markers. Please undo what was done about 2 weeks ago regarding thread cookies.

I'm also getting logged out every couple days. This is a recent change, as in the past I used to stay logged in for weeks or months.

I got logged out today for the first time in a long time.

No browser change, no cookie cleanup, etc.

Came to ask the same thing. More communication with the community would be appreciated.

Me too. The month of May was pretty much logout/in free, but as of June I'm logged out each day.

In the last couple of weeks I went from being logged out once or twice per week to once a day on each of my device :(

Admin last posted a month and a half ago. Would really like to disable the nonsensical new IP logout function ivr never seen anywhere but this forum.
