Did you change from HTTP to HTTPS (or vice versa) between sessions?
No, all I do is exit my browser and I am logged off.

When entering a long read

When entering a long read thread such as this, you've already established we don't jump to the last unread post automatically. But if we want to go to a next page, the page counts and "Next/Last" buttons are only at the bottom of the thread page. We could do with them at the top of the thread page as well.

 

Will you think about allowing people to delete (disable) their account?

I'm missing the 'newest post first' sort option.

It's there but it works a bit different. The first post in a thread will always be on top and then you can change the order of the comments to it in the thread. So choosing (in the community prefs) "Sort comments in discussions: Newest post first" will show the initial post on top and then sort the comments as "newest first", ie this should be right after the opening post until someone else posts to this thread.

What are your cookie settings? Do you delete them on browser close? That's the only way for me to reproduce the described behavior using Firefox. If I keep them until they expire it works as expected (keeps you logged in).

Message 80382 in response to message 80380

Okay, this is a problem with an old link I used to get to the front page.

I have been using the bookmark https://albert.phys.uwm.edu/index.php all this time. This is the one that logs me out after each browser closure.
When I use http://albertathome.org/ I stay logged in.

Confusing though as they both have the same favicon.
Perhaps you best take the first link down, and only allow use of the second link?

That would probably cause

That would probably cause bigger inconveniences because there are a number (a lot?) of places out there beyond our control that will continue to reference the old site for at least sometime. We want to make sure people using those links will still find us. The logout in such a case is a price worth to pay I think.

Cheers,
Oliver

The image option has an "Image description" field that isn't utilized at the moment.
In another of my posts I inserted comments here that I expected would temporarily be visible when I mouse over the images. They're not visible, not in Pale Moon and not in Internet Explorer 11.
