I keep getting un-logged-in

Thanks, Karen. It hasn't been doing this this session!

Please refresh for me how to clear the cache. I use Chrome for my browser.

Under the Chrome menu itself is "Clear browsing data" - do that! When you are done this session, of course!

Found it. Thanks, Karen!

I always log out of the Pet Talk sessions when I finish, too.

Things seem to be working all right this time.

From time to time lately I've had that repeated-logging-in-demands problem, but usually not. Yesterday's was by far the worst.

Along this line, sort of?...

This happens quite often: I start to compose a post, one that takes me a while to do, and then when I post it I find I have to log in again.

It just did that with my Cat of the Day post.

Is there a time limit to how long a user is apparently not actively participating, and if nothing shows up for a few minutes, you're automatically logged out?

No, there's no time limit for that, but your browser may be set to "go to sleep" ....

[phesina]

Where or how do I set it not to go to sleep?

It's making me log in again and again this time (not quite as often as last night, though).

Under the Chrome menu there is a Preferences choice - choose that, and then at the bottom, show advanced preferences - I am sure there are several things in there that might be affecting this! In fact, if you have already emptied your cache, etc., you might want to download and install a new copy of Chrome just in case!

Browsers don't go to sleep, but some do have a session time out. Chrome doesn't do that and you should clear your cookies after every session. Most session cookies are controlled by the host site for security reasons.

I've had trouble here on occasion when logging in. Sometimes the remember me function doesn't. After several attempts it will. Sometimes it requires a system restart.

One suggestion while in Chrome Settings was to hit RESET. It's at the bottom of Advanced Settings.

Yeah, that why I put "go to sleep" was I couldn't remember "session time out" when I was typing it! Thanks!
