RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted September 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2019 As suggested by the subject, since the software update earlier this year, I've encountered problems with being automatically logged out whilst I'm in the middle of composing posts. This has particularly been an issue when I've used a smartphone or tablet, as I don't know how to "cut and paste" posts using Android. However, I've also had problems when using a Windows 10 desktop or laptop PC. I don't know if anyone else has encountered this issue. (Unfortunately, since the software update, I've been very busy - pretty much 24/7 - dealing with family issues - so I haven't had chance to post anything about it.) The only reason I'm mentioning this now is that, at present, there seems to be further updating going on with the site software - so I hope nobody minds if I throw this into the mix, in case it might be relevant for a future update.

RMweb Gold Matt C Posted September 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi Huw, to cut and paste in Android, lightly press on a word with your finger, this should open up two blue teardrops which you can then move left and right to highlight text in blue and give you the option to cut and paste or copy and paste etc. If it goes wrong or highlights the wrong text just press the back arrow button on your android device to close the edit and try again. Best to practice a bit where it doesnt matter Cheers Matt 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted September 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2019 I've had something similar happen when opening "unread since last visit" threads in new tabs. I can open say half a dozen, spend some time reading the thread then return to the tab containing "unread since last visit" at which point I find I've been logged out. Steven B.

Huw. Just spotted this post. I've had this auto-logging out problem while composing a post/reply on numerous occasions recently, it's a real PITA after spending the time composing a reply, go to post it and you find you have been auto-logged out, and hence the text is also lost. I'll spend my time doing something more useful in future, until this gets sorted !! The above happens on both tablet and desktop................

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted November 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 10, 2019 Every now and then I get the same problem, particuarly if connected via wifi. I believe that what's happening is the server is seeing the local machine as having some kind of invalid session identifier, possibly due to a dropped network link or somesuch. It's therefore treating the local machine as having logged out rather than risk trusting a session that could be malicious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think if this happened to me I'd assume the artificial intelligence was reading as I typed and decided "We don't need this drivel!" 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
