Is there a limit to how long I can stay logged in?

I never clear my browser cookies nor do I manually logout, but every 1-2 weeks I will find myself logged out from BLF and then I have to relogin. I primarily use the Firefox browser. Has anyone else experienced this or knows of some settings I should check?

I automatically get logged out approximately every 1-4 weeks.

I don't think there is a setting that can be changed.

Sorry.

My wife has ultimate authority over my internet access.
It was in our prenuptial agreement

I was gonna say a day or so. From home, almost always stay logged in, but at work, over the weekend with no activity I always have to log back in on Moonday.

I get logged out every week consistently. When Monday comes need to login again

The limit is about 24 days according to the UID and password cookies. Maybe it’s multiple connections with a single UID that lets the Server delete cookies at some point?

Is it something that our leader could change or is it hard coded by the forum software?

I'm just glad BLF isn't like AliExpress.

I have to log into AE every single day I want to use the site, which is extremely user-unfriendly.

Use Brave as a browser so much better than the rest. I was a Firefox browser user for many years not no more.

Every morning I power up my computer, and after a few quick looks elsewhere I log in on BLF.
It’s going to be like that till I go to bed. Before I power down I use CCleaner to flush my system.
If the computer has to run overnight (for converting a movie) I pull out the data cable.
I would hate it if someone took over during my absence. To mine Bitcoins, or things like that.

Once in a (long) while, after having run some errands or so, I notice that I’m logged out of BLF.
I’m still “tuned in” on BLF, but I’ll have to log in again. All other settings are still the same.
Using a very old computer, with an even older OS, and Firefox on unlimited fibreglass cable.

Not sure, but I suspect it has to do with the occasional server maintenance for the website.

I prefer Opera GX.

Looks interesting!

I use just regular Opera, but might give GX a chance someday.

I remember the good ol’ days, when webpage designers actually gave a shat about their code, and tried at least minimally making it compatible across platforms, and problems weren’t just dismissed with a let-them-eat-cake type “Use a different browser”.

Remember Exploder, and how most (decent) webpages had probably half the content being “<!—[if IE4]>” and similar conditionals for, like, everything, just to fix the hideously noncompliant ways that Exploder worked?

“Frontpage ain’t done ’til Netscape won’t run…”

People worked hard to fix that, and it wasn’t even Netscape’s fault, because it was compliant, and FP-generated html wasn’t. (Eg, its nested-table “formatting”. Open 8 tables, but only close 7.)

Today? “Use a different browser…”

Why even bother with standards, then? Just declare a free-for-all, and let the most “popular” browsers determine what’s acceptable. (Ie, the majority of browsers which all use Chromium. Some choice…)

I like that we have so many browsers to choose from.

I just wish every web page would work with all of them.

(I'm guessing that's never going to happen, though.)

Actually, that was kinda my point, that we don’t have all that many browsers out there, as that more and more of them are using the same rendering engine under the hood (ie, Chromium).

So what “works” for all those, might not work well if at all on any holdouts.

Then you’ll essentially only have 1 browser, but with different “skins” on top.

With Edge based on Chromium we now have a chance the standard gets accepted not only in browsers. As someone who had to design a company signature, I could have gone to Redmond armed. Flexbox? Thunderbird - check, GMail - check, Outlook on Phone - check, Outlook on Win … f*ck. It does not only mess up incoming mails; you can write code directly into Outlook and it doesn’t take it and put that into a damn mail, but converts it to its own crap :person_facepalming: . However … that’s the reason why all companies have crap, non-responsive signatures. It’s Outlook on Windows. Or was. Hope the situation has or will improve.

Ah, Edge… the retarded browser that doesn’t even let you save webpages or view images directly.

<still wishing for an eyeroll emoji>

Will we ever get one?

Yes, I saw and understood your post.

Even if most of the browsers are Chromium-based, I'm glad that there are so many to choose from.

Each one works a little bit differently, and I like having the choices that we have.
