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.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.

      ED Nature Watch

      Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By Sue · Posted

      Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
