I’ve probably spent an hour in the past month just trying to login to kbin, clearing site data, refreshing, retrying. I thought the bug was fixed recently but it’s worse than ever now.

I don’t want to stop using kbin but this is untenable.

    They tweaked a few things in the back end when this was discussed a few days ago. I think that did result in everybody being logged out once or twice, but my experience is it’s been better since then.

      Not for me. I got logged out and couldn’t log in for days. Finally I cleared the site data and it worked. Now I have to do that every time the problem occurs. It seems worsened, not fixed.

        I’m logged into kbin on a Firefox browser and I’m not really experiencing what you are. What browser are you using?

          I use Firefox on mobile to access currently; I’ll switch over to Artemis after kbin.social instance is available. With Firefox I do experience logout from time to time, however I have my password and username autosaved, so login is as simple as a click.

          It’s not really annoying at all, and quite frankly it’s much better then enriching that Reddit asshat.

    Kbin does log me out once or twice weekly for no known reason, but I have no difficulties logging in again. You say you’ve cleared site data — cache and cookie? If you’ve tried it twice and it hasn’t worked, time to open a ticket with the help desk (admins).

      The problem is that I have to clear it every time I get logged out, which is nuts.

        That does sound frustrating. Wish I had some good advice to offer.

        Have you tried a different browser? I’m on Firefox, but some sites don’t play nice with it and I switch to Chrome for a few minutes…

    I wonder what changed. The login bug has been gone for me for a while now.

    Try asking in /m/kbinMeta?

    I get logged out on occasion but the remember me option works well when i log back in. So FWIW i’m not seeing this myself.

      I get invalid CSFR Token constantly and only diving deep into browser settings to clear site data, then clicking the login page again (not just refreshing it) works now. I used to be able to get past it sometimes without doing all that but now I need it every time, and I’m often logged out after an hour or so.
