AHK Forum keeps logging me out?

Post by submeg » 28 Feb 2021, 04:07

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? :think:

Most of the time, I use Firefox. My extensions are:

  • AdBlock Plus
  • BlockSite
  • Clear Browsing Data
  • Clear Cache (pretty sure Clear Browsing Data does the same actually)
  • ClearURLs
  • Decentraleyes
  • Disconnect
  • DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
  • Ghostery
  • HTTPS Everywhere
  • Mind the Time
  • Mix
  • Norton Safe Search
  • Norton Safe Web
  • NoScript
  • Random User-Agent (have a feeling it may be this)
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite
  • Terms of Service; Didn't read
  • TinEye Reverse Image Search
  • uBlock Origin
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.
