Log In...again and again and....

PostTue Nov 15, 2022 12:10 am

Every day or two I'm logged out of the message boards. It's getting old. In a First World problem way. My Active Teams page never logs out. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

Nope, in fact I've never been logged out of one without being logged out of the other.

used to happen to me often...found out in my case it was because the boards are non-secure/non-https (ie not encrypted) and my network did not like that. And neither do I, but I just switched it so I get a warning instead of a disconnect when it drops out of https.

I brought this up a while ago that even though the boards are 100% non-secure http, the main game site is https but sometimes drops out of secure. Curiously, when it does drop out of non-secure mode, it is exclusively when I save a lineup, save a draft card, or make a live draft pick.

Bugged me for years. BTW--non-secure http means the data between their server and your client is pretty much open to the world. not a big deal...unless maybe it is a credit card or something...

BTW--it costs next to nothing to simply install an SSL cert for the boards. Not sure why they haven't, nor why the main site drops SSL. Maybe an expert netadmin like Moose would have an opinion or correction

I think about every 2 days it stops logging me into Strat and the forums.

It sounds like your solution is above my head but how do you switch a network? It's just me and my modem here.

Hiya Palmtana,

The easiest way from how you've described things, would be to simply check your web browser (on whatever device you are using) to see if your security settings are forcing https or secure http or however it may be described. Basically if you can't find anything like that, you could relax your browser security for strat-o-matic.com as a special case (do that inside your browser settings or preferences).

In my case, I had a few layers of differing security that i tooled through the app to my router. But it sounds like you are using an integrated router/modem gateway to the internet so don't mess with any of that.

It may not help...sorry but YMMV

(Shh. Not to jinx it but I haven't been logged out since I started this thread. I'll keep your solution in mind. Thanks.)
