Hello all,

Unfortunately upgraded to Ubuntu karmic and using Firefox 3.5.5 for Ubuntu.
Since yesterday I have seen this issue. I log in to LQ and browse. Then when I am onto some work, I leave the session as it is and go off.
I come back and click My LQ link and it takes me to the login page as the session has expired.
I enter my credentials and I am given wrong user or password error though both are correct.
I close the browser windows and open a new one and again try to login. And viola...It works and I am again onto LQ browsing.

Is it Ubuntu and FF creating issues?

Are you set to retain cookies? I have never been auto-logged off unless the cookies are set to expire.

Actually I just had the same problem, and even sent a message to Jeremy (but he can ignore it now). I KNEW I was typing my username/password correctly, but still couldn't login. So, I went to get my password reset, and got a new one, copied it EXACTLY, with my username and still couldn't login. I just tried again right now, and well, I wouldn't be posting if I still couldn't login.

PS. I didn't do anything with the cookies.

Odd huh?

There was an issue on our side that impacted a small number of members. The issue has been fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you continue to have problems, please let us know.

I usually un-check the remember me check box which is defaulted to checked. I am usually at the work place while I am here. So to avoid any misuse I un-check it.

Good security! That said, the login does timeout if you are idle for a length of time. It may be that the expiring cookie, coupled with the issue that Jeremy reported, is what gave you the issue. If it happens again, let us know.

Happened to me too, yesterday. All is well now.

Yes, it seems fine for me as well. It happened for couple of days but since yesterday I havent had any issues.
