I generally read the forum from my mac, using Safari, and logged in via GitHub. If I switch away from the page, I often find myself logged off after just a short absence. This does not happen when using the iOS app. Has anyone else experienced this?

Also on Mac but not seen any logoffs at all.

I'm also on a mac and don't have a problem unless I clear the cache and cookies. Then I have to login again. Have you got something that is clearing out the cookies periodically?

Good question? I'll check.

How about a content blocker? Perhaps I'm not accepting a cookie in the first place...
