Getting bumped

Is anyone else having difficulty staying logged in? For the past couple of days I have had to sign in several times as my login is getting dropped. Especially when reading a long thread. I don't notice it until ads start showing up in the thread.

I've not had any issues.

What browser are you using? Could be a bug in the program itself, or a setting got changed to clear the cache every hour or so.

FTE is one of the few sites I still run on IE...I've found that Chrome is not as twitchy as IE. My knowledge of the computer is rudimentary...I get by...and explanations as to why certain things happen is pointless, since I have an analog mind.

My browser is Safari and I haven't updated any of my software for about a month. Oh well, maybe an admin will check it out.

I have stayed logged in for months at a time using Firefox. I have not noticed any unusual forced logouts at all.

You remained logged in for more than a month at a time? I just took a break for dinner and the system logged me out. It's annoying but not critical so I guess I will just deal with it as no admins have PM'd me or answered the thread.

I haven't had to log back in since I last cleared my cache, and that was about 3 months ago... I'm due for clearing the cache and temporary Internet files, but it's not really urgent for me to do.

I'm using the latest version of Chrome; don't care for Edge, and Firefox has given me issues since 2012.
