To the website masters. Lately the site has been repeatedly logging me out. Even sometimes when I’m in the middle of writing a post. ---

So you can log out any time you want but you can never leave? ---

Firefox, no problem here. Curious thing, I go to bookmark for car talk site, I am not logged in, go to recent discussions and I am logged in. ---

**“I go to bookmark for car talk site, I am not logged in, go to recent discussions and I am logged in.”** My experiences recently have been exactly the same as Barkydog, but I am running the latest version of IE 10. ---

No, Remco, the problem I’m having is that I can be logged in and in the middle of writing a reply when I try to post it and get a “you don’t have permission to do that” notice. When I look up, I discover I’ve been logged out. From there I have to log back in and start over. This happens spratically, and even after I’ve posted replies on a number of other threads during the same sitting. The site is simply sporatically logging me off. Normall, I’m logged on whenever I visit the site. It’s a very recent glitch, and very erratic. ---

My comment was an Eagles hotel california reference. I don’t have a logout problem. ---

LOL. I missed that entirely. Goodnight, said the doorman. ---

I run FF, as well, and have the same thing as Barkydog. Not too problematic, and a few times I actually have to hit the log-in button. Just so long as I don’t have to make multiple accounts to get one to keep me logged in for any amount of time, like I did to get this SN ---

Mr Mountainbike, I’m sorry to hear about the glitch and the inconvenience. That is a new one, and for anyone else experiencing it - please let me know. @barkydog, I have the same experience. I’ll pass it on. Thank you for keeping an eye on things. ---

My 2 cents. I’ve never experienced this problem. Using Internet Explorer.
