There’s been a change to the forums where they keep logging me out all the time. I have to relog several times a day, and about half of the time, logging back in doesn’t work - I click the button but stay logged out.
Did you change something? Or are the servers just derping?
There’s a bunch of threads about this. They’ve made some changes to the webauth, and it’s still not quite there yet. It’s been fine for me after logging out and ensuring I get the login box so I can select “Keep me logged in”. Clear cookies if necessary.
Keep me logged in doesn’t work for me.
Nor for me.
Yeah, I guess the forum just hates some people 
Yup, clearing cookies and making sure that keep me logged in is checked does not help.
I’ve got it working consistently on my laptop, but keep getting logged out on the desktop (and need double login attempts). Slightly different browsers, but probably something UT did anyway.
Same issue here. It’s interesting that I just have to click the login button and it logs me in without having to enter my info. So the cookie is available, just seems to not be used until I click the button. Same issue on the Unity Answers side.
I have the problem too.
Suddenly im logged out and if i try to login aka pressing the, (You must log in or sign up to reply here.) text it just put be back on the page without doing anything , and if i do it again im suddenly logged in without entering username or password anywhere.
Kind of wired, i hope they get it fixed.
So yesterday we had some maintenance with our webauth, and it looks like there is some lingering issues. Our web team is aware of the issues and are working towards getting it fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Any ETA on getting this fixed?
It’s been good for me since yesterday, but I’ve also been rebooting for upgrades so I had to log in anyway.
I can’t even log in to the forums at the office anymore - gives me an error that the website dropped connection now whenever I attempt it. Works fine read only though.
Still have problem that if close the browser, have to click login every time…
“Keep me logged in” not working here, either. Then again, forum login only works in Firefox for me to begin with. In Chrome clicking “Login” just refreshes the site without anything happening.
We just deployed an update that should fix the issue. Let us know if you are still experiencing it.
I’m still experiencing the issue. Cleared cookies, logged back into the site (prompted for user/pwd), restarted browser, not logged in. Pressed the login button and immediately logged in with no prompting. Repeated several times.
Mmm, it seems we got rid of some redirect issues keeping the site reloading. However, due to these redirects happening since we’ve switched to a new accounts system but the forum is still running on our legacy system, there is currently not a way of reading the “Remember me” state, so it’s being stored in a session cookie, thus expiring when the browser is closed. This would explain it We’re discussing internally if we can develop a solution for this, so we can skip the redirects and have forum users log in directly from the new accounts system.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
Is this still the case? I’m finding myself having to log in a lot again lately.
