How to stay “logged in” on the forums

How can I stay “logged in” on the forums? Even though I have checked the “stay logged in” box, I have to keep logging in in order to post or comment. Am I missing something here or what?

I don't know the answer, but will ask some questions that may or may not lead anywhere!

You showed the screenshot. I presume you then logged in successfully and used the forum. Then, you closed the forum window in your browser, and when you returned, you were not still logged in, right?

How do you access the forum in the first place? Do you bookmark it on your browser?

I wonder if it relates to your other computer settings that might log you out of sites.
 
I periodically have the same issue. I log in off my phone directly from one of the emails (I always leave one in my inbox for precisely this purpose). And yet occasionally for whatever reason the system has logged me out.

Yes, I just logged in order to respond. I will leave and return.
 
How are you connecting to the forum - Bookmark on a browser? Phone or computer?

I never receive emails. I simply open the forum on a browser, go to the New Posts feed (or you might choose the Home page) and then bookmark this on my computer or Add to Home Screen on my phone. Whenever I want to look at the forum, I use the bookmark/link.

I usually just click on the daily summary from e-mail or the new threads that are in my e-mail during the day. I use my phone, not the computer.
 
So far, we have 3 participants in this discussion:
  • Two of them log into the forum through an email link. They both have occasional problems with getting signed out.
  • One of them (me) always uses a browser link to the URL. She does not have this problem.
I wonder if there is a clue there.

Ah ha! I found a bookmark for the forum and when I click on it, I see that I am alteady logged in. So I guess that must be the trick.

My bookmarks list is completely random and disorganized. I should have things grouped but, sadly, they are not.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
My guess is that accessing through an email link on your phone involves more of the mysterious electron connections, detours, account identification and data sharing, that provide opportunities for the computer communications to go awry. That is my personal mental image of how these things work. Don't expect me to solve many such problems, though!

I'm guessing it may have something to do with your "cookie" settings. You should accept them at least for this site. You'll have to figure it out depending on your particular browser. Ask Google something like "how do I set cookies for (your browser) browser" Good luck.

That's how I do it too.
 
I use DuckDuckGo on my iPhone accessing the forum through a bookmark. Every few days I find I’m logged out. The same occurs on Chrome on my Chromebook. I have used the same bookmark for years. Mulling it over it seems that if I don’t log in for several days I’m logged out. This has occurred more often in the last month. I wonder if it is the forum server software to blame. Perhaps it logs out disconnected sessions based on some sort of internal constraint.

Best lightweight Camino guides

I get a daily email alerting me to the most popular new posts. Plus a once a weekly one alerting me to the most read comments from the past week. I find that I do get logged out at various times, but the same thing happens with other regular Websites and Forums which I visit. It is not a problem to log back in and only takes 5 seconds at most.
