It's happening to me too

And Chrome

ACAMS · « **Reply #41 on:** January 07, 2011, 11:49:33 AM »

OK, It is not the browser.......still looking into the problem.

NFX · « **Reply #42 on:** January 08, 2011, 03:13:00 PM »

9999 minutes trick isn't working with me for some reason.

ty4er · « **Reply #43 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...)

Dermot · « **Reply #44 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.

ACAMS · « **Reply #47 on:** January 08, 2011, 11:58:37 PM »

Well I changed the cookie name, you ALL may get logged out and have to log in with the new cookie.

Dermot · « **Reply #48 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

ACAMS · « **Reply #49 on:** January 09, 2011, 12:32:23 AM »

OK, I have installed a botblocker.......let's hope it works.

Dermot · « **Reply #50 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

# bots be gone
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.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #53 on:** January 09, 2011, 12:19:41 PM »

This has happened to me ever since I joined. I thought that it was normal. :/

Anyway, now I can't log out.

The problem seems to start out again for me. I randomly disconnect often these times.

ACAMS · « **Reply #56 on:** January 29, 2011, 12:38:40 PM »

Well it looks like we are gonna have to switch to email log in.

NFX · « **Reply #57 on:** January 29, 2011, 12:57:16 PM »

Mines has stopped doing it now, it hasn't logged me out since I returned to uni about three weeks ago.

G.K. · « **Reply #58 on:** January 29, 2011, 12:57:52 PM »

Likewise.

Scorpion · « **Reply #59 on:** January 29, 2011, 01:04:57 PM »

Well it happened to me before,but I just used the 9999 trick again, and it hasn't done it since.
