Regularly getting logged out of the SDMB on one computer- and ONLY that computer

I’ve got two desktop computers- one at home, one at work. I’ve also got my phone, and a surface laptop. I frequently browse the SDMB on everyone of those.

However, while I very rarely have to sign back into the SDMB on any of those, I have to sign back in on my home desktop all the time- at least twice daily, if not more often.

I’m using Chrome on every machine, so my settings are mirrored to all of my devices. I’m not having this issue on any of my other machines, and I’m not having this issue with any other websites. Each machine (with the exception of my phone) uses the same plugins.

Honestly, I’m flummoxed. I don’t even know where to start on this one. Any ideas? It’s not a huge deal, but it is slightly annoying and weird.

Hey that’s happening to me too!

I can access the Dope and am fully signed in at work, but my home laptop is always logged off. My UN/PW is still there and saved, just not logged in.

Did you check that little box when logging in? If not, try doing that.

Are you finding that closing Google Chrome logs you out? If so, check your cookie settings by typing chrome://settings/content/cookies. If you are using incognito mode at home, you will be automatically logged out each time you close Chrome.

Are you using an ad-blocker? Even though you might have the same ad-blocker plugin on both machines, the settings on your home machine might be messing with the Straight Dope Message Board.

ETA: If you are logging in to the Straight Dope Message Boards from another device such as your phone, that might invalidate your session on other devices (this is usually the case with other websites).

Double-check your security settings. The SDMB uses cookies to identify you. If you have some sort of cookie cleaner running or if you are running in sandbox mode so that all of your cookies disappear at the end of your session, you will be logged out automatically.

Also, make sure that your bookmark (if you are getting here from a bookmark) has https and not just http (note the s on the end).

We don’t do that here. I personally have been logging into the SDMB from multiple computers every day for years.

Chrome on my work laptop began to log me out of everything a few weeks ago–certainly if I closed the browser and, in the case of the Straight Dope, often after an hour or so even when I had it open and active. Both IE and Firefox are behaving normally, on the laptop and my desk computer; I’ve switched over to either of these browsers for anything I want to keep logged into or for the browser to remember me.

Same issue here. SD is white-listed for cookies, and the problem is recent. I’m guessing it is due to some Chrome, Ghostery or UBlock update. I’m not getting logged out on other sites like I am on SDMB though.
