Title: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Vertigo on January 06, 2011, 12:42:35 PM
A few days ago GTM randomly logged me out,
Now I get logged out an hour after I log in every day, even though I click "always stay logged in"

Is this happening to anyone else?

Yes, it's also happening to me. Funny thing is though, that my "Online" light stays on even though I'm apparently logged out.

Yeah it happens to me too. But I guess it is happening to us all.

This is happening to me as well. The thing is, all the people being affected seem to be in the same sort of time zones. Was there not something like this that happened a while back with different people?
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Scorpion on January 06, 2011, 01:10:59 PM
Well we'le have to see if any of the yanks are having the same problem before we can assert that.

Its happening to me to. Kind of annoying at times when it says I can post then when I post it tells me I'm logged out.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: powerrave on January 06, 2011, 02:26:09 PM
didn't notice anything like it.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Little lost bot on January 06, 2011, 02:29:41 PM
Its happened several time to me though. Not all the time thankfully but still. It says I'm still logged in then I go to post and it then gives me the window that only members can do that and its showing as logged out suddenly there.

My guess is GTM is "updating" something.
So just be patient, guise.

Back to the main point.

Does anyone know who had this problem the last time this happened?
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Vertigo on January 06, 2011, 02:47:23 PM
Last happened today, about 2 hours ago
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Preytor_4 on January 06, 2011, 05:08:35 PM
This happens to me. It keeps me logged in for a day and the next i have to log back in, even though i click 'always stay logged in'
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: ACAMS on January 06, 2011, 05:56:44 PM
It has happened to me too, and I am working on it.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: JoeBlo on January 06, 2011, 07:55:27 PM
go to the login page and in the time out box you can type your own number (instead of the default 60).. for now just type 9999 and you wont get it so frequently...
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Preytor_4 on January 06, 2011, 07:56:57 PM
I did that first, actually i did that until this happened, still logged me out.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: ty4er on January 07, 2011, 01:34:51 AM
Actually it doesn't really make a difference to me about the number you put in and it just happened like 3 mins ago
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Kujii on January 07, 2011, 01:58:37 AM
Appears to be working for me.

Is your comp auto-clearing its cache?
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: NFX on January 07, 2011, 03:42:11 AM
I tried the 9999 trick last night, and it didn't help at all. Still got logged out overnight. It's really only a slight inconvenience, but it's annoying when you do have to repeat the process several times a day.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: JoeBlo on January 07, 2011, 03:47:23 AM
I used 9999 last night, only logged out after I turned off my computer

funny enough whatever the issue it hasnt effected Android Browser.. not been logged out once..

What browser do you guys use that are getting logged out?
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: NFX on January 07, 2011, 07:36:35 AM
I'm using IE8.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Naryar on January 07, 2011, 07:37:24 AM
I'm using IE8.

IE ? WHAT ?

Chrome as always.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Naryar on January 07, 2011, 07:40:56 AM
Yeah, sometimes. Not since i have put over 9000 hours in the "time to stay logged" part though.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: ty4er on January 07, 2011, 09:25:51 AM
I use chrome
Although it hasn't been happening for a while for me

EDIT: Sorry it just logged me out a few seconds ago  :(

Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?

OK, It is not the browser.......still looking into the problem.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: NFX on January 08, 2011, 03:13:00 PM
9999 minutes trick isn't working with me for some reason.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: ty4er on January 08, 2011, 03:18:19 PM
Me neither

either GTM is going through time machines all the time or it has a problem with the log in/accounts (hmm...)
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Dermot on January 08, 2011, 11:48:58 PM
This is a standard smf issue bundled with "bots" attempting to login to your account.

Any account guest or otherwise that trys to login to your account via another IP, smf breaks the session regardless.

the latest volley of bots around are just doing that, you can curb them by doing certain things.

ban them one by one by one (theres a lot)

Add .htaccess to your root with ip deny so the bots don't even get that far

Use the login mod for smf to force logins via e-mail not username (hence e-mails can be hidden even from bots)

Thanks Dermot....
 
We may have to start logging in using our email address if that is what is causing the problem.

Well, it has done it to me now. I am using chrome.

Well I changed the cookie name, you ALL may get logged out and have to log in with the new cookie.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Dermot on January 08, 2011, 11:59:26 PM
I have curbed most of them, and have a list of a lot of ips they use

but check your error log and check for single incorrect password error for single random accounts

notable the last person effected, you should notice a good few, from all different IPs
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: ACAMS on January 09, 2011, 12:32:23 AM
OK, I have installed a botblocker.......let's hope it works.
Title: Re: Always Stay Logged In?
Post by: Dermot on January 09, 2011, 12:36:35 AM

if it doesn't work..

add a .htaccess to you forum root

and use something along these lines inside it.

Code: [Select]
ErrorDocument 403 /403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /500.html
<Limit GET HEAD POST>
order allow,deny
# Dermot Pissed off

allow from all
</LIMIT>

you can take out the custom error documents or just add your own.

And more more spam bots to it as you see fit.

This will deny access to the bots before they even get to the forum.
