Since the site maintenance a while back I keep on getting logged out of 75 every time I close the tab in my browser.
How to fix?

Well... I haven't been on the site so much in the last 2 weeks, so it could have come and gone, but it's definitely been happening for longer than just one day. (For me.)

Hmmm,,,
I don't know, :)
I'd need a way to replicate the problem to try and fix it. Which is what I don't know how I'd do it.
What I do know is that you can't login in more than 1 browser; it verifies cookies; session and a db token; if the combination of doesn't match. you are "not logged in"
Don't know if that says anything, but when I wake up I'll try to see if the login process is flawed.

I just got logged out again. This time without even closing the tab. I just left it in the background for half an hour.
Incorrect expiry time on the cookie?

yeh, what's happening to Diaan happens to me too. Around roughly half an hour without activity on the site i get automatically logged out.
...been happening for a while though i'm not sure if it started before or after the site maintenance.

hmm,,,
can you try this: login; then logout: that should clear all cookies/sessions;
I don't really know how to solve this.

that happened to me too a while back,
but that was on the chrome browser,
firefox doesn't give me that problem.

I'm also on Chrome, if that helps.
I've logged out and then it, no change. The problem persists.

don't know how chrome works,
but, can you see all cookies stored from 75? if so, the expiry date should be 7 days, there should be one called 'system'.

I manually cleared all cookies from 75.co.za yesterday to try sort this out, and today, after logging in a number of time, I have the following cookies set.

Aiit if there is not 'system', it means it is not storing the required cookie to keep you logged in. That is something I can investigate.
Top of the head, I think it has to do with 'remember me'— but I'll investigate.
Those utma, are set prolly by sites you visit after; that have '75.co.za' as s referer and i know the editor also sets cookies to remember 'width/height' of the editor thing.
But, the lack of 'system' is telling a lot—
ta for info, I'll debug.

Well, dunno if you changed anything, but all seems fine for the last day or so.

I haven't changed anything— but I think, when you set the 'remember me', it sets a cookie; if you don't, it sets a session only. But, what I don't get is, why a session can't last beyond a tab-closing, so I need find out:
1. if the system deletes the session if no cookie is set;
2. or if the system needs the cookie to maintain a session;Answers to these questions are buried in rusty old code, that scares me every time I have to look at it.
