Same here. I think it must be something with computer setting or maybe all forums are the same way. All the forums I am on do that.

I've logged in once since I joined and haven't had to re-sign in yet.

Make sure you've got the option checked to keep you logged in (if that's what you want it to do):

Clearing your browser cookies or cache will result in you having to re-log into the site. If you log in from multiple computers (or phones/devices), it will usually break your logon session from one device when you log in with another.


If using tapatalk, that's an entirely different application in itself - I haven't seen any issue using tapatalk and your computer web browser at the same time as of yet.

I check the box every time. I have to relog in once in a while on other sites but not as often as this site.

Hmm... I'll check the session timeout on the server. Shouldn't be set to anything shorter than the default.

Not a problem with desk top computer here.

Perhaps there is program on the smart phones dumping the cookies, etc..???
