Im Signed in but not really?

It shows I'm logged in. But when I go to post, it requests that I need to log in. (Somehow I'm being logged out...)

Using the app on Android.

Which version are you using? Did you try logout then in again?

I did not need to log out (I was probably already logged out, even tho it appeared as if I was logged in). The login page appeared when I tried to post.

I'm currently logged in. No malfunction yet since this afternoon. (Although, I did experience this malfunction a few days ago as well) .

Not sure which version of the app I'm using.

Go to About to check the version. Also are you using the deals app or the forums app?

That's the deals app. The forums app beta is at 1.7.11 and fixes a bunch of login issues.

Then the deals app needs to be fixed.

The deals app simply loads the web site, it doesn't do anything special.

Similar situation with a Windows 10 Desktop the other day.
The site said I was logged out, yet I was logged in - my user name appeared, but it asked me to login to "view the side bar". (I never log out of the forum and the side bar has always been visible).
Since signing in again, it's been ok.

I had the same problem recently.
We're all bozos on the bus until we find a way to express ourselves...

Failure is always an option...just not the preferred one!

i've been having this happen periodically over the last few days/week across all my devices.

usually, it is around the same time RFD has a DB issue (that mysqli error message you see). But that could be a coincidence.

This started happening earlier this week when I noticed that the forum/threads did not show me unread threads/post. I was logged in as indicated by my username top right but I could not post like mentioned above. I logged out and logged in and then I was fine.

Web - username/password
FF 61.0.1 (64-bit)
"Keep me logged in" checked

It happened during my current visit while it was fine viewing "Hot Deals" but bugged out when I clicked into sub forum "Ongoing Deal Discussion".
Good deals come to those who wait. Wait too long then the deals gone.
