I've searched to see if this has been a past problem, but I couldn't find anything.

 

Anyway, for some reason I keep on getting automatically logged out...usually when I'm in the middle of posting something. It will then ask me to log in when I submit, and when I do, it goes onto 'you have tried to access an invalid thread (or something similar) please contact the administrator.'

 

So I click back and submit again...sometimes it works, but sometimes I end up double posting. It's just getting a little tiresome doing this nearly every time I submit...any ideas what's causing this ?

Do you have "Remember me" checked? It's next to where you input your username/pw to login on the main page. This could be what's causing it. Be sure and check that, then if the problem crops up again let us know.

Do you have wireless? I went to a hotel yesterday with a bad wireless connection and a laptop which I hadn't told to remember me and it did the same thing.

The connection shouldn't cause a problem in theory. You should check your cookie settings and the "Remember me" box.

Yeah, I didn't have it checked. It worked after I checked it but it's a really old laptop anyway.

Thanks blike, I'm sure I clicked it this morning, but it was still doing it...but I'll double check and let you know.

Umm, what happened to Snail just happened to me, and I was at my home computer with the "remember me" box checked...

Sounds like it might be a problem with vB. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade to vB 3.5.4 sometime this afternoon and maybe that will sort a few of these bugs out.

I've checked and it appears it is a bug fixed in 3.5.4.

Dave, Cap'n Refsmmat, thanks for looking into it so promptly.
