This seems to come around periodically, where checking the "Stay Logged in" feature
stops working.

It's been about 2 weeks now, Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions
about how to troubleshoot? I think I've done all the "normal" stuff. Restarted
this and that,cleared the cache. Disabled the virus checker type stuff. checked
my firewall, yada, yada, yada.

I'm sure it'll mysteriously fix itself in short order, just like always,
but I'm just curious if I'm the only one having an issue.

I Had A Similar Problem In The Past. My Computer Would Log Me Out Every Time
I Closed The Page But In Addition To That I Also Had To Reset My Password Every
Time. But Then It Suddenly 1 Day Just Worked And I Havent Had The Problem Since.
Perhaps A Bug? I Also Currently Have The Logout Problem On My Phone But Not On
My Computer Which It Weird The Only Thing I Can Think Of Is On My Pc I Use Google
But On My Phone I Use Duck Duck Go.
Perhaps Try A Different Browser, Just Like With Lego VIP Rewards Page I Cant
Redeem Anything Using The Google Browser It Just Crashes The Page But When I
Try Microsoft Edge It Works Fine. (Might Be Just Me)

Yep same here.

I had this issue a while back, but it had been working properly until recently.
FireFox browser, BTW.

Same here, Firefox recently updated, AGAIN! They're always breaking something,
ain't like the old days when Firefox was built by some rather altruistic
guys that didn't like how Micro$oft just devoured everything and forced non-standard
garbage on you - now they have adopted the Micro$oft nanny state mentality, and
just like Micro$oft, they force an update every couple of days, and we spend
hours trying to get our systems working again.

Having said that, though, I don't Firefox broke it this time. even after
the forced update the other day, Brinklink seemed to be working, until Friday.
I have always had issues with Chrome, and I truly dislike Micro$oft, so I avoid
them for daily use. However, I test issues against them, and in this case, I
got mixed results. So I'm not sure what the cause is.

Thanks for your rant about Firefox. I couldn't have said it better.
Why every few days a new version? Each time they f**k up the menus and change
the look of it.

for example, with version 89.0 they introduced (quotes are from Mozilla):
1) "Simplified browser chrome and toolbar: Less frequently used items removed
to focus on the most important navigation items."
Simplify? Am I regarded too stupid to decide for myself how to use the browser?

2) "Inspired tab design: Floating tabs neatly contain information and surface
cues when you need them, like visual indicators for audio controls. The rounded
design of the active tab supports focus and signals the ability to easily move
the tab as needed."
Yes and now everything takes up more space on my screen, not to mention that
everything is now white of light shades of gray...


I've given up on Firefox, still using it but an older version which I tweaked
with the about:config command so I could still keep the old design. Ignoring
all updates so far.
I just wonder: are those new versions ever backed by user input?
version 89.0: Jun 1
version 89.0.1: June 16
version 89.0.2: June 23
version 90.0 July 13
version 90.0.1 July 19
version 90.0.2 July 22
...

I realise my criticism should be directed to Mozilla/Firefow but I'm so glad
that I'm not the only one who suffers from the madness of constantly updating
software.

cheers, Martin
