to make things worst, there are periods of time where I cannot login. A few hours later I can....what is going on?

Hoping this is going to be fixed soon. I often have to login again when I switch from mobile to desktop (even if I am on my wifi on mobile). I'll often click on a thread response in my email, my browser will take me to the end of the thread with me logged in for just a moment, then the site will log me out and the site randomly moves me to some odd place in the thread several pages back.

I was just browsing on my laptop. No issues, when all of a sudden I was logged out. Not sure why this is happening so often as it doesn't happen on any other site I visit, but it is certainly an annoyance. There are a few times I've been about to make a response and I've been logged out so haven't bothered.

Please fix this.

Just happened to me, wouldn't even let me log back in, when I tried to reset my password, it said it couldn't connect to YellowID yet I got the emails, first 3 didn't work, cleared my cookies, tried again and was able to login and change my password the 4th time, I suspect there's something funky with this SSO implementation (Forum+Site+FB+YellowID)

Same thing with me but I didnt do a pw reset. After about 15 minutes, I could log in again. I bet it would have been the same for you.

Come on RFD how many times a day do I have to login to the forum?
This is absurd.
Please fix it.

Yes, I have an old computer.
Yes, I'm not particularly tech-savvy.
Yes, more recently this is happening more often because my puter crashes a few times a day lately.

However, this is the only forum for which I have to log back in every time. No others have this problem, I am kept signed in.
What makes RFD different?

Update:

The fix we've been working on has finally been pushed to the site and the logging out issue should now be resolved. We've been monitoring this for the past 24 hours and so far everything looks good. A big thank you to the dev team who have done a great job fixing this problem.

If anyone happens to get logged out automatically from here on out please let us know.

Tom does this mean that read threads will be marked as we go now?

Tom,

I just have to say that the last couple of days have been the smoothest at RFD for me in at least 6 months. Thx for paying attention.

Threads are still not marked as viewed so I still have to manually mark forums red.

Thanks so much - it's totally such a difference to not have to log in again and again during the day.
Now, I have to work on what's up with our computer or programs that it keeps crashing...

There's a first time for everything: I just got logged out!

As it's the first time for me since this mess started happening for others, I won't complain... much... ;) :D

Very glad that it's back that I don't have to keep logging in - hoping it stays for longer this time, thanks!

Added - Well, that lasted four days. I'll just deal with whatever happens from now on.
