AHK Forum keeps logging me out?

Hi all,
It seems that after a period of time, I will be logged out of the forum; even when in the middle of writing a response to, or creating a new thread. Are there settings I should check to see why this may be the case?

I not sure I can reproduce this. I am still logged in on all my devices for some time now.
To me, this sounds like something local that could be clearing cookies. Perhaps a webbrowser extension, some kind of cleaning or privacy software?

Most of the time, I use Firefox. My extensions are:
- Clear Cache (pretty sure Clear Browsing Data does the same actually)
- DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
- Random User-Agent (have a feeling it may be this)
- Terms of Service; Didn't read
- TinEye Reverse Image Search
It logged me out during the creation of this reply.

I was correct; it was the add-on listed above. I was able to add an exception, and now I'm not being logged out.
note:
The modification I made to the settings was to add the exemption:
Code: Select all

In case anyone runs into the same issue.

That makes sense too, thanks for sharing.
