Default Forum issues?

Anyone else have trouble with the site? I have to sign in every time even if I check the stay logged in box.
I used to follow the forum on Tapatalk but it was wonky so I went back to the web based site.
Now it tries to get me to go to Tapatalk. When I do it wants me to log in. When I do it gives me error messages out the wazzo. Then I get emails saying “ multiple log in attempts on your account “

What’s up with the forum? I used to like the Tapatalk version but it’s wearing thin these days.

Thanks!
Murf

I haven't noticed any issues with accessing the web based site from my computer. It does slow down on occasion but that's usually temporary. On the other hand I've only tried Tapatalk with my phone a few times and it was always problematic for me. I eventually deleted the Tapatalk app, I don't think it's a very good system.

The past 2-days the Forums keep telling me to "wait 20 seconds between posts" for 1 Quick reply. Well not this post.

No problem here. I use the traditional version and Tapatalk only when I want to attach a pic using my phone. My laptop has been broken for a while and I've been using my phone for every computer related thing ever since.

Same here. Post is made, but seems to not be made.

EDIT: this post was normal, maybe fixed?

Ah, figured-out that "lagging" response time leads to the "double-post" message.

Logging in every time is a good for security , I log in every time with a finger print, if I loose my phone no one can log in. I use Apple stuff, I don’t know how the buy1 get 3 cheap phones work.
Behind the scenes, dumping logs, optimizing tables, cache’s weekly keeps a forum running faster, updating software, I keep up on my forum weekly.

FWIW, I had sign-in issues using my iPhone yesterday but logging in from a Windows 10 computer worked OK.

I get kicked out if I follow a link or even if I make a lengthy reply. It's usually less the 5 minutes. Is there a way to extend idle time before the system boots me out? Where is the "stay logged in" box some have spoken of?

It's a little check box right next to where you type your username and password.

“Remember Me” usually means that your user name comes up with password still required. What is the inactivity time before the system logs me off?

On this site, when you click remember me, you stay logged on. You shouldn't have to re-enter your password, and it shouldn't log you off.

My laptop always stayed logged in for years.
Android tablet using now , also stays logged in , but get requests from time to time to try TapaTalk.
My iPhone will not log in on here , or on BaT - just goes in circles.

Never try to do much internet with a phone anyway.
I predict most millennials will suffer vision problems by their 40s
