I think it would help if you give us more details about your browser version and any installed addons. Or download a plain vanilla portable browser and see if you can reproduce the issue.I'm not sure what's going, this is new for me... I log in and the moment I leave the login page, head to the forums or to post a comment on VLC at TPFC's main page I'm logged out... so I click login again and it starts all over. If there's a different login for posting comments on apps now, sorry, I didn't realize this.

Re: Why does this site constantly log me out?
I still get logged out once a week or so, it (I beleive) is because I have a dynamic IP, I see on the forums under the control panel there is a "“Remember Me” login keys" section, and each time I have to log back in, I check this, and the IP is different. Wish this sort of thing wasn't tied to IP, I don't know of any other site that does this, or else this would be a frequent problem for me with many sites.

AFAIK your IP address shouldn't matter, since the session is wholly persisted by a cookie stored in your browser.
Anyway, I did some research and have updated the cookie domain settings (by default, it can be left blank, but some folks have suggested setting it manually). Please lemme know if that helps.

Two days ago, I stopped being able to login to TPFC with SeaMonkey v2.49.2. No errors, just a kick back to the main page.
This morning, I got an error from ucp.php?mode=login&sid=dbf7754c9c17eafc7b4845221ec858d4 saying something like:

Which I now consider done (FYI, via FF v59.0, no problem at all).General Error
Tried to redirect to potentially insecure url.

Re: Why does this site constantly log me out?
If you are trying to troubleshoot login problems, check for the following cookies:
- tpfc_phpbb3_u
- tpfc_phpbb3_k
- tpfc_phpbb3_sid
and their expiry dates (which should be a couple of years into the future)
If these cookies are missing from your browser, something is clearing them (an addon maybe?), that's why your session is not being established.

I see. Didn't remember that. Pesky cookies.
