Even though I put a check in the box for remaining signed in I periodically find myself signed out of tfgm.org when I visit. This happens on an irregular basis and I can't put my finger on the cause.  Mostly it seems to be on the order of weekly or bi-weekly.

Bug or feature?

I haven't noticed an issue like you described... I at times am guilty of forgetting to log out at the end of my day while my MAC is in sleep mode. An internet interruption loss may be a probable cause, or any energy saving features you may be running is my first guess. I personally don't sleep at night with the wifi running and shut it down completely from any power sources. Better sleep and better dreams... 🙂

 

Best..

Thanks.  I have a Windows desktop and I never sign out of the forum.  I leave the wifi on 24/7 but there are the occasional service interruptions and rare power outages, especially in winter.  It does happen on one other gaming site also, so perhaps that is the common thread.

This can happen if you clear your browser history.

Me too. I'm signed out maybe once every 7+ days or so. Not really a problem.

I do clear my browser history frequently, so there's that. 🤔

Well, I was periodically signed out again.  When I attempted to sign in it was a strange and involved process.

I put in the user name and PW and checked the "prove your human" check box.  

Then a math problem was presented but there was no way to input the answer in the answer box.  No numbers would show up when I typed and the up and down arrows did nothing.  I tried 2 different browsers.

Ultimately, I waited a few minutes and tried again and the sign in process was back to normal.

I'm posting this mainly for Bootie's edification, in case something is going on with the site.

@otosan ... I think you best explain to Bootie sending a P-M to him, at least I'm sure you will get a solution

I did Hedge.  I'm just posting here in case any other members experienced a similar thing and had any additional insights.
