The reason the boards are logging people out all the time now.

Well, just logged into the board and it issued me a cookie with a timeout year of 1969.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Looked and most of mine for the boards are set to expire at the end of session.

I've been having cookie problems since I resubbed a month ago. The session cookies were set to properly expire, and my userid and password had expiration dates a year into the future. When I would close the browser and open it up again, the userid and password were still there. However, when I would navigate to the boards those cookies would be deleted, and I'd be forced to log in again.

My solution was to have my browser block cookies from boards.cityofheroes.com. That way, when I would log into the boards the sessionid would be included as part of the http address. Then I would just copy and paste the address (sessionid and all) as my bookmark. The session would expire if I didn't open a forum page for around 8 to 10 hours, but at least I didn't have to log in every time I reopened Firefox.

As of a couple of days ago, even this trick isn't working. The forum is now aggressively expiring my sessions, forcing me to log back in every hour or so, whether I block cookies or not.

I browse several other forums on a semi-regular basis. They all use vBulletin, and I have zero problems with any of them. This forum is the only one that gives me any problems, and it's getting worse. The problem is not on my end, and it's not inherent to the software.

Just posting to say that the boards are even more aggressive in logging me out now. It's pretty much gone to the point where if I have the pages open, but not actively browsing due to playing CoX or doing other stuff for like 30 min, it logs me out.

This is really getting ridiculous now, it's like the developers purposely did this so players would stop reading the forums in frustration and go play the game instead, haha.
