I get logged off every 60 seconds it seems sometimes.

NO OTHER internet forum in the entire WWW does that.

What's the deal with BITOG?? Worried about "Russian collusion" or something?!?!?
 
I can stay logged in for weeks and never get automatically logged off. Lintex, what are you using to browse with? I'm assuming you check the box that says "remember me".

It might be because you dont change your oil as frequently as you should!
They are watching you.

Same here. Check your cookie settings. Assuming you haven't blocked Bob's cookies, do this:
-Log off BITOG
-Edit cookies and delete all the ones containing bobistheoilguy. Instructions vary by browser.
-Now log back on
See if that helps.

Doesn't bother me.


I clear things out daily anyway … And log into several sites daily …
It's a good way to remember user names and password

Same here. I'm 100% confident this is done intentionally by the site too 'cause I get logged out of my work computer, laptop at home, and phone on the same day.

I've noticed that too--seems random when I'll be logged out. Not biggie, other than many times it'll mark all forums as read--I won't know what I haven't read. That is the only annoyance I have.
 
I stay logged in for weeks and then I will get randomly logged off. Also if I clear my cookies I will get logged out unless I put an exception into ccleaner to keep the Bob cookie.

This forum's software has a stupid idea of what is read vs unread. It bases it on when you visit, not if you have read anything.
 
Hi.
It logs me off too. I blame Brexit.

Nothing works....

I sometimes get spit off after only 30 seconds.

I really hate how this board is run (technically) - there's no call for it.

I've been on for the last week on multiple devices and it hasn't logged me off. Maybe something with your device deleting the cookies or something?

Yep, it's not the board ... it's something on Linctex's end.
 
Been on BITOG for 6 years most days, it doesn't act weird or randomly log me off more than once a week.

It's your devices/network.

There is no such thing as "lifetime" fluids!

I think I've got that one figured out. If I go to a subforum, like General and Off Topic, and I read two or three topics and leave, which I do most visits, all threads there end up being shown as read. Now, if I go to the Bicycles forum, which I rarely go to, it'll show every thread unread since my last specific visit to that subforum.
