My phone reset or something and I lost access to the Dope. It did the same to my e mail. I had forgotten my passwords as i stay logged in. I recharged my phone and now its ok. I can’t do without my Dope!

I have found some apps seem to “timeout” (so to speak).

They will not stay logged in forever and, occasionally, make you re-enter your credentials. Not sure that is what is happening here though (I don’t think my phone ever forgot my SDMB login).

Maybe an update reset things? (just guessing)

Probably. Thank God I’m back. I love this place.
