[Bug} Forums Aren't Behaving... Constantly Logging Me Out, Preventing Me From Posting,.

[mr.gerp 21]

Exactly what it says on the title, anyone know how to fix?

Here's the problem with your issue.

Have you been using the forum through different locations, computers, devices etc?

If that's the case, you're only allowed to log in through one location and one browser. Which means you cannot be logged in on your computer and through your iPod/iPhone simultaneously.

The best way to fix this problem is no log in through other browsers or devices. Once you log in from another browser, it automatically logs you out from the previous browser.

I'd recommend you try to use another browser, and see if it fixes itself. If that doesn't, I'd suggest you make sure all of your browser plugins/addons are updated. If it still isn't fixed, than I'm sorry, but I cannot help.

Edit- And yes, you can only be logged in on one device. So many sure you aren't logging in on your phone or anything.

Actually, this is also happening even if you are not using the forums from a different device. Different browsers do not really affect anything as well. It's primarily a forum issue itself. With our DDoS protection provided by CloudFlare, it constantly switches IPs to mitigate attacks. Because Tythus added this new "one-device-only" add-on, it is recognizing new IPs as different devices; ergo, it is something that cannot be fixed ourselves.

I've tried to contact Tythus about this, but he's a bit... lax to say the least.

I'll yell at him this time.

I was about to say that I don't log into LOTC on my phone. And that using Chrome was never an issue for me since October. I was thinking it was cloudflare... Anyways, thanks for the help.

EDIT: I think I fixed it; don't have two tabs open of LOTC open at the same time when you post.

Don't think that is the issue here. I just spoke with Tythus yesterday, and he confirmed something with me. This recent addition to prevent multiple log-ins is a mandatory thing, as several accounts have already been breached as of late. I guess we'll have to live with it a little while longer until a different solution is apparent.

Sorry!

I don't understand the situation here. Can you elaborate?

Recently implemented was an addon that prevented one account from being accessed from one device, whether they be a PC, tablet, etc. Our DDoS protection (CloudFlare) filters the IPs of every user of the forums into one of their own, and they shift every now and then to mitigate attacks. Apparently, this new AddOn reads different IPs as different devices, ergo people are getting logged out because the system believes that a separate device is using the account. Several accounts have been breached lately, so Tythus had to implement this. To solve the problem concerning automatic log-offs, he would have to either disable CloudFlare, or disable this addon; neither or which pose a good outcome.

It could also be that your Internet connection isn't consistent. When I lose my connection to the Internet on my tablet, I'm automatically logged out. It happens a lot.
