xgsjx Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm on mac, windows & iphone & have the same issue on all 3. It happens with an open browser too. I never log out, it's logging me out & saying I need to log in. Quote
bartelby Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 As the others have said, not just Windows based stuff I can leave Basschat open in Safari, make a cup of tea and when I come back I have to log in again... Quote
wateroftyne Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Yiiiiiiiiip... still doing it for me, Windows & Chrome, and iPhone. I never log out... Quote
Hamster Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Ooooo - an opportunity for me to play with some knobs and levers and buttons........ I'll have a look to see what i can break Quote
Hamster Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Is anyone logging in from more than 1 PC (and staying logged into the other one): or are you logged in on 1 PC with several browsers (IE, Firefox, chrome etc); or are you only ever logged into 1 PC and 1 browser? Quote
BigRedX Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I normally view BassChat from 2 different computers - my desktop and my laptop depending on what I'm doing and where I am. Normally I'll be logged in on both with "Remember Me" selected although I'll only have BassChat open in the browser on one computer at any one time. This has been working fine for me for the last two years and I only get logged out if I don't visit BassChat using a particular browser for a long time (I don't know the exact length of time but appears to be around the 2 week mark). Since yesterday I'm now being logged out after a much short period of not visiting BassChat, and it seems to be combined with logging in from another computer. I found myself logged out of BassChat when I tried to view it on my Desktop computer yesterday. Logged in an everything was fine for the rest of the day. However when I stopped using my desktop (shut it down) and used my Laptop I found myself logged out on the laptop. Logging in on the laptop kept me logged in even after leaving the laptop in sleep mode overnight. However this morning after starting up my desktop computer I was once again logged out on that computer. Over lunch I was logged in on both machines at the same time, but having not used the laptop for a couple of hours it is now logged out. I'm still logged in on the desktop even though I haven't been active on Basschat for an hour or so. So to me the issue appears to be related to both inactivity and being logged in form a different source. HTH. Quote
crez5150 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm normally logged in on my imac and browse on my iphone while having a dump........... too much info? Quote
Hamster Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 There's a couple of settings that affect login keys (a cookie ingredient I believe?) - they look ok to me. It's a little strange that some members are having the issue but others aren't (I'm not having any problems) I can't see that it can be an ISP or browser thing so I'm guessing that it's a login key issue, as once you login from another PC it makes a new login key which makes the login key on the other PC invalid and so it logs out. However - I can be logged in at home, go to work, login and stay logged in, come home and I'm still logged in at home - so I'm scratching me noggin at the moment..... Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 OK . So , I log in this evening,(again) start browsing. Then all of a sudden ,I see'welcome guest/login/.' My broadband(virgin basic) has been intemittent yesterday and today, and I am a Mac user....... Quote

Hutton Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I only use one computer and I'm having to log in every time I access the site. Quote
dave_bass5 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) My PC at work has been fine but my PC at home has been requesting i log in each time, even though my details are saved and i can see them in the login boxes. I've cleared out the cookies but its not really helped. Edited February 21, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote
Hamster Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 It seems to be a problem with dynamic IP's. I think there are 2 solutions, and I've lust pulled the lever that activates solution number 1. Let me know how you get on, and if it doesn't work, I'll pull lever number 2. Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Just had to log in on my iPhone. Still got error message but I ignored that. Went on"view new posts" and it seems ok ...for now Quote
Soliloquy Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Have you tried hitting the server thingy with a large rock. I find that often helps with technological items . Quote

dave_bass5 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 More flashing lights are needed. Its a well known fact that if something has loads of flashing lights then it must be better. I was having trouble earlier this morning but it seems to have settled down now. fingers crossed. Any idea why this has happened? Quote

This morning could just be down to your tinkering i guess. I never log out but never have the forum running on more than one device at any one time. If this continues can i suggest a HobNob in the serial port. Quote
