LJ problem?

[snorkackcatcher]

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting logged out of LJ on a regular basis (perhaps 24 hours?) rather than just being able to stay logged in indefinitely?

It's not happening to me, so it is definitely just you.

...There's no one else here, is there?

[snorkackcatcher]

Oh well. Maybe LJ have just changed the cookie timeout or something.

Don't know why that would only affect some users, though! You must just be lucky.

A quick look at user profiles from commenters below makes me wonder whether there is a correlation with account type? But then I'm just a conspiracy theorist.

[snorkackcatcher]

That was my thought too, but it doesn't seem to correlate 1:1 which you'd expect. Perhaps it depends on the browser in use -- I'm using Opera, which is generally fine but does occasionally trip up on code that's tailored for IE/Firefox/Chrome.

It's not just you. I keep having to relog on, myself. Pain in the behind, I tell you.

[snorkackcatcher]

Hm. I wonder what they've changed then? It really is annoying, as I usually look at a filtered friends page with a lot of the news feeds omitted, and when logged out I get reams of stuff from those.

No, I don't have a problem.

Maybe I ought to go and wade through the LJ announcement emails ... nah. :)

It's happening to me, too.

Are you using Firefox? 'Cos I am, & I think it's logging me out of other things (webmail & DW) more frequently too, so I'm wondering if it's a Firefox update.

[snorkackcatcher]

Opera, actually -- although that's just had a big update recently too. I wouldn't be surprised if LJ had coded something that worked best with IE.

I have the same problem. I thought it was only me, until I saw this post. So thanks!

[snorkackcatcher]

You're welcome. Can't figure out why -- it doesn't seem to be just account type.
