Safari and frustration with forum

[andy8758]

I often use an iPad to view and post on the Forums. In the last few weeks I find that whenever I exit a thread or post, I get logged out.

Even to post this thread, I had to log back in again......

I've never been on a safari....

Clear your history and web site data Andy.

Save any pages in safari you want to keep first, with a bookmark, then go
settings - Safari - clear history and web site data.
(Scroll to bottom and it's in blue)
Hopefully that should sort it Andy.

It's awful using Chrome on my Android phone for the last few days, and yes I have cleared cookies,history etc. Fine on Windows PC.

@Dan is really the only one who can look into it Paul, but I do know he's been running tests with the new server over last few days, perhaps it's connected.

Thanks for the info - tried that but still getting logged out after reading more than 1 post or trying to post replies. Works fine on my main Windows PC.

Sndy, it did it with me , when i was on safari i mistakenly had it on private settings , which signed me out every time i did it .
Turn it off, press the cross and try again

good shout Craig, I'd forgotten that!

I am not a "wizard" with Apple - but the iPad mini I have has what can only be a cut down version of Safari, and there is no way to get up the screen you showed, unless I am missing something (which is quite likely!)

Go in to safari andy, and click the little double square top right.


That will give you this screen.



You see he word 'private' top right?
If you are in private mode it will be highlighted in white like this.


If it is, just click it, and it'll return to normal and your browser will remember where you've been, and you shouldn't be logged out every time.

You will have to get reading some of those 2000+ new posts!

Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately none of it solved the problem. I log on the iPad, join the forum using the safari browser, log into my account, and then type a post like this. When I post the reply, it still logs me out! It may possibly be the iPad itself, because if I use my main computer which is Windows and Internet explorer based, there is absolutely no problem.

That's one for @Dan then Andy, sorry mate.
