Daily login required again...

Back to requiring daily login...

Not a deal breaker but a bit irritating especially, amongst all the sites I belong to, HB is the only one that requires daily/frequent fresh logins.

I have not seen that.

Nope, me neither. I can go for months without having to re-login. Must be a client-end problem.

I would start by clearing your browser cache. Please click this link to display your browser's agent and post the result. For me, it returns the following:

Some mobile browsers ditch cookies when they're closed, losing the session connection.

I notice I have to sign in to the forums several times per day, where I used to be able to go weeks without signing in. I make sure to check the "stay signed in" box when I sign in. Has anyone else experienced this?

Using Google Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Merged with thread on the same subject. As mentioned above, I would start by clearing your browser cache. If that doesn't help, please click this link to display your browser's agent and post the result.

I'm seeing the same thing on my phone & also on my pc using Chrome. Started yesterday when the home page was messed up.

OK, I tweaked the cookie settings. Let's see if it helps.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yup, lately each day including today. In the past, I could go for months without a login. Running Ubuntu 19.10 with Firefox 74.0 (64-bit). It could be that Firefox got updated, or something happened at the server end. I've no way of knowing which; not that smart
