"admin" account not staying logged in.....

[David Clark]

Hey Mands.

After I saw you were having the problem again I set about making even more accounts on my test forum, just to make sure you hadn't found a bug that only occurs with many accounts on one forum, but it's been smooth sailing for me. Every time I leave a specific account (among the ~60 I made to try and figure this out ) logged in, it's always the same one that's logged in when I go on to my forum at a later time. So I'm pretty stumped as to what could be causing the issue for you.

As for the post you just made, there are a few things that might cause you to be logged out of your account that can't really be helped, but nothing that I'm aware of should cause you to have your forum account switched without you doing it. Do you happen to have another computer in your house that you can use to attempt to recreate this issue?

P.S., it's my day off - don't tell anyone I'm helping you.

You didn't have to help then, I'd have understood and waited but thanks.... I don't know then. The only other thing that I can think of is it's because I am using Chrome? I have noticed that even though I ask it to keep me logged in and remembered on my image hosting site imgur, that I always have to log in again. I saw on a help site that many people for years apparently have never been able to stay logged in on Chrome. I am however always constantly logged in on Facebook. So maybe it's a Chrome thing? As I say I haven't switched account on Firefox since I made Chrome my default browser, but my "admin" account is always logged in on there. Even tonight when Chrome had me logged out completely, my "admin" account was still logged in on Firefox. 

If you've created that many accounts, bless lol and you aren't recreating the issue, then it can't be the number of accounts/characters that I have, which leaves me to believe that it's Chrome. But as I don't have the site header issue on Chrome that I did with Firefox, I don't want to swap back.  I hate IE and I don't really like Safari or Opera. 

There's a laptop that's only used in emergencies for any reason and I don't like using it, and my hubby has a desktop in the living room but it's situated that I can't get to it. I know that probably sounds stupid to you but I have very bad arthritis, and I can't sit or get out of a low sofa. The computer in the living room is at a sofa and I'd not be able to sit at it. I can't turn the monitor and keyboard around either, as I can't stand for more than a minute at a time. I also don't like using a computer when there is a television on as it distracts me. 

You know what you've been really nice and patient, but just let it go. I guess it's only happening to me as nobody else has complained about it and it's making it a nightmare to troubleshoot. If it does it to me again, fair enough. I'll just log out and back in again or switch. Thanks though and go and enjoy the rest of your day off.
