Constantly logging in

I'd love to get an answer from someone in the know - why do I constantly have to log back in (accessing site from iphone). If I so much as sneeze, the site will ask me to log back in. It's annoying.

What am I doing wrong?

I've had that for years - every start-up I have to re-link the phone - I just assumed the programmers were incompetent and rude. I'd love to learn there's a fix...
 
I've only tried a couple times on my phone (new here) but I've had the same issue. Sounds like we just have to deal.
 
Are there any site administrators who read this section? It really would be nice to find a solution to this issue.

Problem remains unchanged for me. Very annoying. If I so much as look behind me, I have to log back in.

Can someone please address this issue??

I’ve had this happen to me a couple times then I noticed a weirdly placed “keep me logged in” with a check box somewhere on the page before I clicked log in after I put in my log in info. It took me forever to notice it. I only use my phone no pc or IPad. If it’s the same as my problem you should see it somewhere check the box and not have to log back in for awhile. Good luck

Thank you. Just looked and see nothing of the sort. Also just access this site from an iphone.

It's a little check box called "Remember Me" right by the username and password boxes.

Also you may have set something in your phone to deny or delete cookies. That could cause having to log in constantly.

I do not see this check box when accessing the site via iphone. Even put my glasses on.
I'll look into phone setting regarding cookies - but this is the only site that it happens with.

Earlier I had my daughter go to the site on her MacBook. The 'Remember me' box was clearly visible.

Am I in some sort of forced 'mobile' version when using the phone? If so, is there a way to switch to a 'desktop view'? Frustrating.

OK, I'm on the mobile site on my phone and I don't see the the check box.
I switch to the desktop site and I do see the check box to the right of where you enter name & p/w.
To switch between sites on my Android phone I tap on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner of the screen and scroll down until I see DESKTOP SITE and a check box. Just check that and it should switch.

I really appreciate the suggestions. But on my iphone, there is nothing visible that allows this. I'd spend far more time on T4R, reading & contributing, if this issue didn't exist.

This is what I'm presented with - every single time:

None of this works for me. Been messing with it for years. And this is the only website I frequent that has this problem. It began 2-3 years ago. Having to log in every single time on mobile just drives people away. Switching to desktop ‘mode’ doesn’t work. In fact, it doesn’t look any different. It seems to me that the problem isn’t ‘out here’ in user land, but rather something with the site.
 
An iphone must have something similar.
A 2 sec search came up with this

You're barking up the wrong tree with this suggestion, solves nothing. My iphone log-in problems started about a month ago. For reference, I'm using an 11pro, current OS is 17.3.1 And the problem occurs using either Safari or Brave browsers.

Let me further explain what is going on. I bring up the website and it immediately asks me to log in which I do. I get the "thank you for logging in sactown" message and upon redirect it hits me up for another log-in. Rinse and repeat, again and again and again.... Occasionally it 'sticks' and I get "in", but as soon as I click any link, it all happens again, and again, and again..... Same problem on two different browsers. Cleared caches, restarted phone, nothing works. Since my forum activity is probably 90% mobile, this basically kills my activity here. Hopefully someone in charge cares enough to dive in and solve it. Forums are on life support as it is already, but when mobile users seemingly randomly develop some log-in doom loop it is a serious problem for the future of this place. Been a member for 7 years, most of that time as a mobile user, this isn't some noob user issue, something has changed and it's breaking things.
