argh, goddamnit, set a cookie that stays for once...

[katster]

there is one thing about LJ that has been annoying me lately, and that is its tendancy to log me out when I'm not looking, usually after I've closed my browser and reopened it. No, I did not say "When browser closes". I specifically said "Never". I don't turn on the IP address binding because this is a *mobile* computer, and it's regularly on four different networks (reshall, SIMS, OCF, and AirBears -- they're all berkeley.edu, but the IP addresses range). Anyway, thank god I have default view and a high traffic community I don't view, or I'd never have any clue when I've accidentally gotten logged out.

*sigh* Just a peeve of mine, and it seems to be happening a lot lately.

It was doing that to me, too, and a combination of getting kicked off the connection by Earthlink (which will idle disconnect you in 20 minutes if the network is busy, no matter if you tell them to leave you logged in at idle or not) and then getting logged off by LJ cost me any number of rather elegant noodlings that got bounced into the cyber and eaten by the Borg.

I bought a paid account and that stopped it--suddenly and miraculously, the cookie issue got fixed. But in order to KEEP it fixed, I had to click off the other box binding the IP address. I don't know if it has anything to do with it or not, but this is what worked for me.

I edited my cookie file so that my cookie won't expire until 2020. :p That fixed mine.

I've heard of this bug before.
