Security breach?

CalminHeart · ‎03-09-2010

I ALWAYS sign out when closing the Forums and Q websites. I opened forums today and was showing still logged in. I know for a fact that I signed out yesterday. This is a huge violation of security if you ask me.

@CalminHeart that heppened yesterday to a lot of people here, along with a multitude of log in and website issues:

not logged out
not able to log in until browsers were switched
logged in under different user nics
etc.
etc.
etc.

The Mods couldn't even log in successfully yesterday for a while.

They are having major issues, but it's strange because it doesn't appear to be just one thing going on.

Good morning @CalminHeart thank you for your post today. No there has not been any security issue, I can understand your concern, the same sign in situation has been experienced by other posters and myself. We had system updates and it has affected the forums. But we have not had any security compromise.
We are glad that you are here and posting with us. Happy Fourth of July! -Kim

I LOVE that I'm still signed in. I was signing in 5, 6 times a day. If I got off for a bite of lunch, bam! They signed me out.

How can there be a security breach on the forums?? Who cares if you read a certain book or saw a certain movie? They can't get your credit card info on the forums page!!! There is a totally different password for your account.

I agree with @Judaline ! I hope they don't fix the sign in to the forums! I get so tired of being gone for just 5 minutes and having to log in again. If staying signed in on the forums is a bug, please don't fix it! lol

I was still signed in, also.

I have not been automatically signed in, but I would recommend (if you do not already) clearing website info (cookies) each day. This may of course not pertain to your issue - these things can sometimes seem mysterious!

Aside from the current redundant issues with sign-in attempts, clearing the cache results in kicking my password out (I am therefore logged out). So the sign-in begins again! It has been a bit problematic of late.

Cogito ergo sum

I was not signed in this morning either. But I clear my history at the end of every day. I had no trouble signing in earlier.

And my forum sign in information is the same as my account sign in information. (Not different passwords.)

It's happening to me too.

Better change it. You are anonymous on the forum boards.
