I had the same problem. I logged in, went onto a board, then it would ask me to log in again. It was like that for about 15 minutes then it suddenly corrected itself! Bizarre...

This smells like "session problems" on the server side..my guess is that the server is destroying sessions when it shouldn't so when you login, session that holds the "is user logged in?" status is destroyed and the server thinks you are not logged in and redirects to login page...

And how is this solved?

Withouth browsing thru the server's settings I have no idea...

Hmm...you'd think, though, that if it were a session problem then all users would have it - it's a bit odd to have a session problem specific to one user isn't it?

Yes it is that's why I think it was a long shot...but it does sounds like that could be the problem that's for sure...

Yes - Jordan, do you have cookies enabled properly?

The Forum owner, Laurence, has checked into this aspect and advises that there are no settings on TM which could cause, or rectify, these problems - sorry.

I don't want to be rude but from my experience if something is wrong in 98% of cases it will be users fault....

I wouldn't put it that low. First place to look would be firewall software like Norton, if you have it installed. It eats session info like a hungry hippo.

As I said it's from my experience...

I have automatic cookie handling overridden. First party are accepted, third party are blocked and session cookies are always accepted.

Spyware blaster has not got the site restricted and within privacy of ZoneLabs TM has been added manually to the allow lists for everything from 3rd party to private header.

There is nothing that may interfere with cookie settings.

What about referrer blocking?
