[HELP NEEDED] - DevNet Forums keep logging me out

I am getting the same (or similar) condition as astions was having toward the middle of this thread. Does anyone know what may have been causing this?

I know I am behind a proxy at work, and that there were some major changes made to the proxy over the weekend, so it may be caused by that. I was just wondering if anyone else has found a 'cure' for this condition. I have already been logged out five times in the past two hours and that is with activity. I had signed in, clicked on a reply button, was taken to the form, added som text that took all of three minutes, and then when I clicked the submit button, I was logged out. This leads me to believe it is not an idleness issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a thought but when did you last clear out your cookies?

I thought I had cleared out all private data about a week ago. I will try that again though. I chose to stay logged in the last time. We'll see where that takes me for now.

This totally has to be my proxy server. A few other sites that I visit have IP-based authentication and they keep crapping me out also. Man, that bugs me. This proxy crap is really aggravating.

Yeah your IP is changing a bit. You've had 8 posts on your current IP.

The freaky thing is, on my last login, I chose to 'Log me in automatically'. So that really never shows an effect of logging out on the screen. But what it does do is show 'Posts since last visit' down to zero. Kind of a giveaway.

The thing that really got me is I have a tool I developed at work that uses a session feature very similar to the phpBB session handler, and that is what kicked me out after a few minutes of being logged in. So I need to talk to my IT folks over here and ask them kindly to PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HEADS FROM YOUR POSTERIORS AND FIX THIS FREAKING THING!

PS How did you like my rendition of the Cingular commercials floating around the US?
