Sigin to main site and boards issue!

In the past, when I signed on to the main page and then open up the chat boards from there, both boards would be signed in.

Now it seems that the chat boards are signed in independently of the main board.

It's been intense for me since yesterday. It's usually once a weekish, once every 5 days? Since yesterday it's happened 5 times. If it keeps it up at that pace with no fix in sight I'll simply stop coming here, it's far too frustrating to deal with that regularly.

This has happened to me 3 times today. I've completely signed out, sign back in, a couple of hours later, same thing.

My experience is similar to this.  Since I had to agree to the legalese yesterday, I seem to get signed out about every two hours.  Prior, I might get logged out every 5-7 days.

I'm also having to log into the chat boards independently. (Also booing...)  But I don't seem to need to logout before logging in again on either the main site or the chat board.

Can we get rid of the annoying notification for phantom PMs that I read many moons ago?

Whenever I get a notification, if there's a popup, it's always (usually?) for the same old PM, but going to the Notifications bell at the top of the page shows the actual notification.

Sort by unread. I bet you have some unread PMs.

This should work.  After you click on the envelope, click on go to inbox.  Then, choose sort by unread in the dropdown menu.  Click on the unread PM's, and you should be all set.  If you continue to have problems with this, send me a PM, and I will try to fix it for you.

Hey @CGC Mike do you know of there being an issue reported where after yesterdays maintenance, once you log in either to the main site to view submissions or the message boards you get logged out? It's like an endless loop and it started yesterday afternoon. Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue?

It's been happening for a long while.  When coming to the site, the remember me box isn't always acknowledged.  Many attempts to fix it have failed.

This just worked for me. Why it all of a sudden started happening I have no idea. But thanks for that because it was highly annoying.

Hi Mike, I think this is different.  Since I agreed to the new CGC terms yesterday, I've been logged out of the main website and the chat boards at least 4 times in a little over 24 hours.  It appears that I was just logged out of both after logging in 2 hours ago; I think I'm being my remembered login is being unremembered after 2 hours.  This is on an android phone and a windows PC both using Chrome.

Hi Mike, yeah I've encountered this quite a bit for sometime but as others have mentioned this is a bit different. It keeps signing me out and even the trick of clicking on "Sign Out" and logging back in doesn't seem to work like it used to.

I have sent web help and the senior site reliability engineer a link to this thread.  I also added that this might be a different problem.

This is definitely different, Mike. It seems to have started with the signing of the new Legalese.

Keeps happening several times in the same day now.

If you read the legalese, it says the masters have the right to sign you out at any time. :eyeroll:

Yup as soon as I agreed to that pop up it started happening. It’s like before, but worse. It’s happening across all devices I use.

No rush, though, Mike. I know you’ve got a lot going on at the moment. Just wanted to raise my hand that the issue started after accepted that agreement.
