You probably have some kind of extension or software running in the background—though you didn't specify which browser you're even using—that keeps aggressively clearing your cookies. That’s why just checking the box isn't doing the trick.
I'd suggest taking a closer look at everything you have installed on your system.

I’ve been getting logged out constantly on my tablet lately, even with the "remember me" box checked. It usually happens right when I hit "Send" on a longer post, only to realize I've been kicked out. It is quite a hassle having to copy everything to my clipboard just in case the site logs me out, which seems to be happening almost every single time.

I can't seem to find any more tags anywhere.

Tags are disabled, for the time being.

It usually happens right when I'm finishing up a long post and hit "Send," only to realize I've been kicked out. It’s honestly such a pain having to copy everything into a notes app before hitting send just in case, because it feels like it happens almost every single time.

It’s started happening to me now as well, and I definitely have that persistent login option turned on.
It seems like it only really kicks me off when I'm on my phone, so I'm wondering if maybe a recent Google Chrome update is causing the glitch.
The weird thing is I don't even have to actually log back in manually. It just tosses me out and says I'm not signed in, but then I just hit refresh and everything goes back to normal immediately.

But yeah, it is super annoying. 🙂

Login is stuck in customs. Again. Still stuck. Honestly—I’m spending more time fighting with my login than actually writing, and I might just throw in the towel at this rate.

I need a hand with this lighthearted comedy thread. I think I uploaded an image that’s way too large—sorry about that. I sent a DM to the moderator to fix it. If anyone can help me out, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Just hold on for the moderator of this subforum; they’re really the only one who can help you out here.

Just make sure you check the "remember me" box when you log in.

@Casey Bennett/">@@Casey Bennett, I'm down, thanks.
edit: actually, the checkbox isn't working right. It's broken on my end. Just log me out, whether the box is checked or not.

There is a little trick where you hit the reload button—that "clumsy" arrow icon 😁 located in the top left corner near those horizontal arrows (the third symbol)... try that when the host fails to connect with you.
Unfortunately, Casey Bennett, you won't be able to help 😉 in this particular instance.

It likely depends on how many connections or failed attempts are currently queued up.

I’ve made this point before, but I suppose I’ll say it again: if you keep getting kicked off the forum, stop blaming the site and start looking at what you actually have installed on your computer or mobile browser.
We all love loading up on various add-ons, extensions, and antivirus software thinking they make our browsing experience smoother or "safer," but if you’re running some aggressive extension or an antivirus program that wipes your cookies every sixty seconds instead of waiting until you close the browser, well, you’ve created your own headache.
No one else knows the specifics of your setup—not us, and certainly not the admins—so take it upon yourself to educate yourself, do a quick search on Google, and fix your own settings.
The issue isn't the forum.

My apologies, but I feel compelled to offer a slight correction...
There is also the matter of the forum itself. In my experience, while using various computers and different network connections, I have frequently encountered situations where I had to log in multiple times in rapid succession. For instance, you might see your status indicator turn green, yet the system fails to actually authenticate the session at the top of the page. And so, one continues through several "login" attempts...
The very next moment, you may find yourself being kicked off due to protocol interference if someone else attempts to access your account.

No one is infallible, after all. 🙂

I mean, I’m starting to think the issue might actually be with the forum itself, because I keep getting these random notifications saying I'm not logged in and can't post, even though everything works perfectly fine once I just hit refresh.
If some random extension had gone ahead and wiped out my cookies, I guess I’d probably have to log back into the forum from scratch, but that hasn't really been happening.

I need someone to document the exact date and time that the eviction took place so I can file a formal report. The more instances I have on record, the better.
Please provide additional details regarding your browser, your method of access—whether you're on mobile or desktop—and whether you're using home Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi, or cellular data. The more data points we have, the better.

I realize this is driving everyone absolutely insane, but I honestly can't remember the last time I was actually logged out like this. I’m accessing the forum from my desktop using Google Chrome and on my phone via Safari and Chrome, switching between my home Wi-Fi and my cellular data. The only thing I don't touch is public Wi-Fi.
And yeah, I've got that checkmark appearing next to my login everywhere.

Nice one, Dub. That’s how you handle it. Just tell us when we end-users need to do something for this forum to make all these complaints magically disappear. 🤣

Need some help here: whenever I hit reply, my typing cursor turns white. Since the text box is also white—yeah, you guessed it—the damn thing is invisible.
It works totally fine in the Quick Reply box, though. It stays black and visible there.
Is this just my computer acting up, or is the forum broken?

Help me out here, please...

So, when I'm using Chrome and I'm logged in, YouTube videos embedded in forum posts show up just fine.

But the second I switch over to DuckDuckGo, those embedded YouTube videos just vanish—instead, I'm stuck looking at this useless blue rectangle that won't even let me click it.

How does this even happen??

Can someone just drop a link to a post that actually has an embedded video?

And while you're at it, go ahead and fix those DuckDuckGo player settings.

Honestly, you don't even need a specific link—any post with an embedded YouTube video will do. But since you're insisting, I just grabbed this totally random one:

Like I said, whenever there's a YT video in DuckDuckGo, I don't see the actual video—just a blue rectangle. Meanwhile, in Chrome, it works perfectly fine. And yeah, I'm logged in on both.

As for those settings you mentioned—are you on a desktop? I'm using an Android phone, and I couldn't find those specific options anywhere in the Android DuckDuckGo app.
