Session timeout issues

Anyone else seeing an issue with your browser sessions expiring on this site? I mean like within 2-3 minutes. Normally I can be on for a while and I'm good, today I'm having to login again within 2-3 minutes of my browser being idle. Only here, tested several sites and a couple of browsers, this is specific to RIU...

Yes. I keep getting logged out in unusually short times and even when I am posting or switch to the next page.

Seems to come and go like that. Working fine now.

Thanks, so it's something on the site, I've only noticed it today. Just happened as I went to click on this notification, it forced me to login and I wasn't idle for more than a few seconds.

It just happened again. I had to log in to get your alert but the site was open and logged in on my phone.

Thereby why I'm posting, does look suspicious, admins should be checking this shit out.
Could be client side and would be your side.

Try unplugging the router (if on one) for 1 min to get a fresh IP and kill any router malware (if present). roosha had a huge router atk campaign couple of weeks back.

Could be a full browser cache as well.

Same thing has been happening on mobile so it’s def a site issue.
Tried wifi and data both had same issue

Lol, I'm an IT guy specializing in security, this is a site issue not client side.

Me too and was a suggestion considering I have 0 issues on mobile or PC.
It seems somewhat random, I'll be fine for a while, then it's prompting me every few seconds. Site has been having several issues for months, like when you click on a notification, it used to take you directly to the post. Now it takes you to the top of the page that the post is in and you have to scroll down to find it. Pics using the enhanced pic uploader have also been an issue for a couple of months now, works with some browsers, not others. Site needs some serious tlc.

Do you have the “stay logged in button checked ? Not doing so will boot you
No, never have since I joined, I login every time. But this getting booted every few minutes has only happened this week. Seems to be fine today and even later in the day yesterday. May have been a temporary glitch due to traffic or the like.

Possible but it will log you out for inactivity if you’re on your phone and it opens a new window it’ll consider it a new log in and therefore you may get booted
Same with new tabs on pc
