There were also some brief periods where I was dicking around with the HTTPS and cookie settings that may have temporarily made the site unhappy.

That explains it.

Can we switch the forum theme? The baby blue look with the Atari 500 icons are a little dated huh? hahaha

For me, it's as if I have a setting for "Log Me Out if I have been inactive for 30 seconds".

Today, all is well. Whatever Dallas did last night fixed the problem. (you wouldn't think that drinking heavily and yelling at the neighborhood fat kids would cure the problem, but hey, whatever works)

I need to know details: OS, browser, any plugins/helpers that are installed, etc.

I do not have any issues with getting logged out unexpectedly, and the site settings don't match what's being described - so I need more info.

Thanks!

*edit* I just disabled browser verification as part of session management - this may help those of you who are seeing the issue. I also changed the cookie domain based on some old phpbb support posts. Based on the bellicosity of the phpbb support person in his replies, I expect this to work.

This theme was the least ugly that actually lays out semi-decently on the devices I have tried it on (OS X, Windows, iOS, and Android).

Making new icons is on the list of crap to do, but it's way the hell down there. The "shit that doesn't work at all" list is currently sitting on top of the "shit that works but is ugly."

The lists are in my head, regrettably, along with many Human Centipede references and the theme songs from every sitcom ever released in America. I could get more done if I could flush my "Perfect Strangers" cache and reallocate that space to something useful, but it appears that Balki is with me forever.
