Hi Sue.


You definitely shouldn't need to keep logging in.


I suspect the problem is that you have some cookies stored on your phone/laptop from the previous forum software which are conflicting with the new forum software.


Could I ask you to try something which might help? If you go to the bottom of any page on the forum, click the icon in the corner and press the Delete Cookies link. Pressing it will log you out, however next time you login it should clear any conflicting cookies. Hopefully that will stop you getting logged out in the future.

Let me know if you are still consistently having to login even after you've used that Delete Cookies link.

Logging out will delete the 'remember me' login key on that machine. Is that what's happening?


Alternatively, I see that manually deleting all my browser cookies for the forum after having closed it produces the same outcome. So perhaps you should check whether your browser's set to delete all recent cookies at the end of a session. That should probably be configurable somewhere among its privacy or security settings.


Observation for Joe: my second para. was an edit of the already posted post, but doesn't have any added annotation to say so; nor does this one. But an edit just made to an old post in The Lounge has been annotated.

I don't log out, so it's not that.


Would deleting all cookies not also delete the fact that you are logged in?


I never once had this problem with the old forum, and now it just keeps happening.

Its a bit of a weird one. I've not been getting logged out on my own devices, but I'm sure that it happening to certain people as I can see you are having to submit logins on a regular basis.


I still think its related to some conflict caused by cookies for people who used the old forum system. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Thanks for the update Sue.


To be honest its a bit of a mystery to what caused this. It seems like some people's cookies were being reset to a 'guest' user. But the issue wasn't consistently reproducible for me, so its very difficult for me to investigate :(


Please let me know if it does happen again. It if does I will raise a support request on the phpBB community forums.

    • Yes, the Council's scheme for Peckham Rye station square is going ahead and is welcomed. However, the major project for the rebuilding of the station itself to provide improved accessibility has not received government funding and is being 'paused'. There seems little prospect of that scheme now going ahead in the current Parliament. This is regrettable as it is one of the busiest stations on the network outside central London. 
    • A  description limited to just " white, 50s, male" would be equally useless in identifying anybody, because it could apply to so many people. What point are you trying to make? And I didn't "jump down the OP's throat." The way the thread has developed is how threads work. Different people have different views on things. And the point about media references to migrants and single mothers was relevant to the discussion.
    • What would be the point of that?  It may work in a  USA style mall where there’s maybe a single point of entry and armed security people.  But here financially, it wouldn’t work. 
    • I think there's a similar square-type thing around Queens Road Peckham, which has stayed in pretty good nick. It was certainly a vast improvement.  Having said that, it would be terribly sad if small businesses suffer in the process. I love the fruit 'n' veg stalls & shops on Rye Lane, and the atmosphere in general atmosphere and very much hope that a new station square and the stalls aren't mutually exclusive.
