Grand Prix Rejects

I've encountered some strange glitch - for lack of a better term. Since I've returned, the website logs me out on its own after a certain amount of time, despite me being "logged on automatically". At first it didn't happen too often, but since a few days ago I can't stay logged in for longer than a couple of seconds.

It kicks me out when I click on a different subforum, it kicks me out when I try to post stuff, it kicks me out when I click on the preview button before posting, it even kicks me out when I do nothing at all.

FAQ suggests that it could be because of my 4 years of inactivity. But I suppose it could also be that I've caused a glitch by updating parts of my profile recently and clicking on something I shouldn't have clicked on. Wouldn't put that past me...

Since I have no trouble with any other forum I'm subscribed to, and since I can't be the only one using IE, chances are the glitch lies somewhere within the GPRejects forum coding.

Thank you in advance for looking into this!

Hello,

Cookie settings use a universal code which is supported by IE11. We don't promise any compatibility with IE versions earlier than IE11, as Microsoft no longer supports these.

I would suggest purging your cookie and cache data for gprejects.com by following the instructions located here.

Also, give another browser like Chrome a try for a day or two and see if the issue also occurs there.

Thank you so much for your quick response!

I'm using IE11, so that can't be the problem (thank god). And after I did the purge, things seem to be normal again. I've been logged in this morning for more than 20 minutes, clicking on subforums and posts like a crazy person, without encountering the glitch a single time.

EDIT: Make that 2 sessions of more than 20 minutes, including posting a rather long and complex announcement. That should mean I'm safe from the glitch, right?

Weird, but satisfying. Must be one of those once-in-a-lifetime-glitches then. Should it happen again, I'll try out one of the other browsers.

Thanks again for your help! See you around!

No problem! It sounds like there was a mismatch between your cache information and our database's session information. If it happens again, always try clearing cache and cookies before anything more drastic!
