Not sure exactly what is hapening right now it seema liks ever time I hit the "my profile" button on the top left it logs me out. I haven't done any testing of what is really happenng, but it seems the first time I hit that button after quite a long period of time, that is when I get logged out & have to log back in. ......then I am find to hit the my profile. This has been happening all day & don't remember if it happened yesterday or not.....but it's something new. Maybe a strange state I'm in. Sometimes it seems that using firefox to get onto the internet does get me into strange states. I never changed anything in my settings either. I think I already shut off my computer once to see if it was a strange state it wa in, & that didn't help.

Thought I would check here to start while I don't have time to test it out on my end......I till find time later in the week to check out a pattern & test it out here.

This is definitely anoying,

I wouldn't think that your computer, or Firefox, or this site would know whether you were in a strange state or not, so that's probably out

I almost always use Firefox to come here and I've never had that happen, so it may not be Firefox either.

Something that used to happen to me at another site was that links, as well as my bookmarks, would work either with or without the "www". However, everyone's login cookie would either have the www or not, depending on whether they'd gotten to the site with or without it. The catch was that if I posted a link with the www in it and someone else who'd logged in without the www clicked on my link, they'd get logged out. The same would happen if my link didn't have a www but their login cookie did.

I'm pretty sure we get (and stay) logged in through cookies here, so when you investigate you might want to see if there's any way that what you're clicking on could conflict with your login cookie. It may not be the "www", though; I've never seen the www on any of the URLs here and when I tried inserting it in one I got a "404 page not found".

turns out is seems that it is a timeout......when I go away from the computer for several hours without, I get timed out.....never used to get timed out & logged off before,....think that must be something new.

Will have to put it under the question of timeout, not this.
