OK - I actually have filed a support ticket at vbulletin.com - Thus far I been told to get rid of all modifications INCLUDING VBSEO.... (the vBSEO aspect of the party line has been stated more than twice...) Um.. So.... the issue is with staying logged in to JPiC (http://JPiCForum.info) since upgrading from 3.6.8 PL2 to 3.7.2 -- My install has a fresh new skin with all updated templates. Cookies are set as they have been since I 1st installed.

After about an hour or so of logging in - seems that I'm timed out... Regardless of whether I'm active on the board or considered "idle" LOL --- I've also noticed the very same issue with being logged out sporadically in my AdminCP as well. It seems like there is some kind of time out or some such, when the option has been set for no Admin timeout...

Has anyone here experienced such an issue? Does anyone know of a possible resolution to the issue that I and so many others have experienced? Please someone say "Yes, same thing with me. But I found a fix........."

Thanx,

Jacquii.

Same thing with me but no fix unfortunately I was told the same thing by vbulletin.com.

Clear you browser cookies and log in again. Sometimes it seems you need to clear your temp internet files as well, but most time it only requires the cookies to be cleared.

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still persists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.
