Signing in to PPRuNe

[ExSp33db1rd]

For years I've read PPRuNe without signing in, unless I want to reply to something, then, after hitting reply I'm asked to sign in, write my response and hit 'submit' No problem.

For the last week now I've followed this precedure, signed on, written my reply and hit 'submit' then - a large box appears telling me to sign in again, and if I don't then my carefully composed, and erudite reply isn't posted.

WTF ?

????? Maybe, but I've not recently changed anything - to my knowledge!

Will investigate. Thanks.

ExSb, it could also be your ISP expiring the DHCP lease either manually or setting an extremely short validity duration. They sometimes do that when they are trying to squeeze more customers into their finite IP address allocations.

I know that when my internet connection drops when logged into Pprune I always get logged out after I re-establish the link. This is because the reconnect gives me a new IP address and Pprune rightfully thinks I'm on a different computer (actually your old pprune session gets orphaned but eventually expires from no activity).
