Forum keeps logging me out

Post by cookie »

I'm currently at my work computer and when I log in, here, after I click a couple of links to different forums, threads etc., I get returned to the site that says I need to be logged in to see this. At first I thought it was because of the cookies/privacy setting in this browser but I changed those and it still happens. Could it be because I'm technically still logged in at my computer at home? Or any other idea why it keeps happening?
(Aside from, yes, my computer trying to tell me I should really get back to work.)

Edit: Of course now that I've made this post, I haven't been logged out since. *gives browser a massive side-eye*

I don't think that's anything on our side. We have a setting that logs you out but it's a couple hours, not a few minutes.

I'm sorry you're having troubles, cookie. It shouldn't be a problem that you're logged in at home.
The difference between the truth and a lie is that both of them can hurt, but only one will take the time to heal you afterward.

Alright, thanks! I guess I'll check the browser settings again... (Or maybe not do quite as much leisure internet browsing at work *cough*)
