This has happened to me constantly since new site change. Log in, try to do something and it wants you to log in again, then try to respond to something else and it wants you to log in again. It has made me log in to just go to the next page. It annoys me to even try to get on and navigate anything now.
I do not like the search feature now either, had lot easier time finding things before
 
I had to log in to type this response and all the longer it took me to type it in and hit submit I had to log in again to finish submitting...... grrrrrrrr
 
It's getting old for sure . It won't even let me log in on the tablet . I have to log in on the PC , but one minute ur in ,,, and the next ur not . Then you are ,,,, never mind you get it .
 
Please be patient, none of this stuff is happening to me. Jeff and his staff is working on it . It is still the great forum it has always been just with a few issues after the update. They will get it figured out.

I know ,,,just got to me .
 
+1 getting slightly annoying/old; Can't even login at all with Firefox but IE is doable.
 
From Chrome, when I try to log in, sometimes it will go through the steps, but then the top of the screen still show me as not logged in. When it does this the only way I have managed to get logged in is to use Chromes More Tools->delete browser data for last 24 hours. After that I can log in, but as other, it doesn't stick long, until I am back to logged off and have to delete browser data again to ever get logged in.
 
This is still happening, even after all this time.

The people on this forum are so wonderful, as are the people who own and run the forum, that it is a darn shame to have these constant aggravations which are caused by a totally incompetent web site management firm that the owners have hired. I hope that the owners of this site negotiate significantly reduced payments because of all the snafus and incompetence.

Remembering a log in is really simple stuff.

I spent my life in computers and ran three software companies. I would fire the existing group, not pay them any remaining payments, and hire a new firm to manage the technology. There are people who actually know how to do this stuff, and can do it in their sleep. You don't have to put up with this.
 
Whomever Jeff is paying for the site maintenance, they need to give him a huge refund. Cookie management and persistent login caching is PHP-101 level stuff (actually more like remedial PHP-099).
 
Hi all, I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. To fully explain, we were doing adjustments with the server hosting company and they did not correctly redirect the domain URLs as per when we first migrated the site. As many of you know, server management, especially certain companies, limit site management's access to our panels and areas we're only allowed to. In short, we could not directly fix the issue ourselves without the server hosting company's help.

Again, I want to apologize for any poor experiences anyone's had on SMF. We genuinely care about the user experience and want to make this right. This evening, we got confirmation that the hosting company was able to redirect all 'https' and 'www' URLs on SMF as we originally had it when we first did the migration. I hope this brings some understanding that Jeff and our team were working diligently at fixing the issue.

Thank you all for being so patient and helpful to us. I hope everyone's had a wonderful 2018 so far!
 
I’m laying here on the couch with my leg up in the air after surgery and I’m retired so if I have to login every time it’s not like I have anything else to do but thank you for fixing it.

I’m glad you’re able to take it easy for a little while, Al. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
 
Auto login is working now. Thanks Jeff and admin crew. I'm liking the new look.

As of this evening (6:56 p.m., PST), the problem is still happening on ALL of my computers.
