Another observation.   If I am not logged in, the posts (at least in this thread) appear to be in the future.   My computer clock is correct.  Does the system use a different time stamp for guests?

 

I've noticed the same thing...and I've always assumed that it's because the default time is the time at the site-hosting server -- presumably in some east-of-here time zone.  Or maybe the server just uses Universal Time (aka Greenwich Mean), no matter where the server actually is.  Either way, if the user doesn't have a profile then the site doesn't know what local time to assign;  apparently it doesn't use the user's computer clock.

The local time appears correct when/because you have it set that way in your Profile settings.

I may have found a cure... TBD w/time.

 

On a hunch, I went into the cookies, and deleted the WTW cookie, shut down the browser, then brought it back up and logged into WTW.   That was about 3 hours ago.   So far, no issues.   I'm not holding my breath, but...

I haven't had this problem. I wonder if its browser specific. Running chrome here.

I'm running Safari. I've also got FireWeasel (Firefox), but have not checked it. If my hunch proves out, I am going to suspect that somehow we got a dirty bit set at either the server, or on my machines. Since it's on all of my platforms, plus Smoke's, I suspect a server.

FWIW, I'm running Safari on a MacBook Pro and no issues here.

Is WTW still remembering you without reminding it -- that is, did you cure it?

Using Chrome and intermittently was being logged out, but now seems like every time. My username & password are there when hitting sign in.

OK, I am on the iPad now, and it did remember me. I will go check the iMac in a minute.

 

Edit:   OK, on the iMac, and it remembered me.  So we are getting close to 24 hours without a problem.  Maybe we have a cure.

 

I would recommend that anyone else with an issue, try deleting the cookie for WTW, then close the browser, bring it up again, and log back in.   Then check it a few times.     Interesting, these toys of ours...

Looks like you've figured it out, W.S.  Maybe it will work for others who are experiencing this glitch.

 

If someone using the Chrome browser has this problem and wants to try this solution but isn't sure how to find and delete the WTW cookie(s), here's how, below.

I had to search to figure this out -- I don't think I've deleted a cookie in a long time, so I figured there might be others who don't already know.

 

1. Click Settings
   
2. Click Advanced Settings
   
3. Click Content Settings
   
4. Click All cookies and site data
   
5. Scroll down to wanderthewest.com and/or www.wanderthewest.com (I have both for some reason)
   
6. If you hover your cursor over one of these entries an "X" will appear on the right; clicking on the "X" will delete the cookie.  Or...
   
7. Or...You can click on the entry and see the individual cookies, one of which should be "member_id".  You could just click on member_id and delete that one, and that might be enough.
   

If anyone else has this problem and tries the delete-cookie solution, please report your results in this thread.
