Log out every time on iPad

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anybody knows anything about this: every time I close a browser on my iPad, it seems that I am logging out of boards. Until today it was no problem - logged in all the time, even if restarting after it being turned off.

    I don't believe I've changed any settings or anything.

    Any suggestions?

    There's an option you can tick to keep logged in when your logging in. Maybe this got unticked?

    This is a kinda similar to aproblem I've been having lately on my home PC (Windas 7-Mozilla).
    If I'm composing a lengthy reply to a Post,it all goes fine until I finish and hit the "Submit Reply" button only to find I'm presented with a blank un-logged into page...AHHHHH...GRRrrrrr etc etc.

    What I now have to do is select and save the content and start the reply process over again.

    I guess what I'm asking is whether there is a Timed element on the Logged in State ?

    Moved from Helpdesk. I don't believe this is a boards.ie specific issue, so maybe the Apple forum can advise better.

    The top and bottom of safari will be dark if you have private browsing enabled. They are white normally

    I've noticed something similar myself.
    I thought my iphone and ipad were logging me out recently but I think the issue is actually going from one to the other.
    I'm on my ipad now, so if I go to browse boards later on my phone I'll need to log in again. Then when I return to the ipad, I'll be required to log in again on that too. But if I don't come on boards on my iphone all day, I'll remain logged in on the ipad.
    Afaik this is only a recent thing I've noticed, as I've been able to browse on multiple devices before.

    Happens me too. Very annoying. And what really bugs me is when I log in on my phone it says "unable to sign in" then brings me to another log in page and let's me sign in using the exact same credentials.

    Ok - all a bit weird - I had the same problem before (on a couple of devices) - can suggest that anyone with this issue, delete the boards.ie cookies, log back in and try for a few days and see what happens...

    On an iOS Device -
    1. Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data.
    2. Click on "Show All Sites" (at the end of the list)
    3. Click on "Edit" (top right)
    4. Find the entry for 'boards.ie'
    5. Click on the red circle, the 'Delete'

    Paddy

    PS @boards.ie devs - I _think_ there is an intermittent problem where the cookie has timed out, but isn't being removed - so when you log back in, you still have the timed out cookie - hence when you go back the next day you're logged out again.....
