Does it log you out while you are actively reading posts?

Does it log you out after not inputting anything on the keyboard for a long period.

Or do you mean that each time you visit the site it asks you to enter your password, and log in again.

I believe you have to check the box that says "Stay logged in" or something to that effect

I don't see that option anywhere but I have more info.
I would happen when I went to another forum topic and did it several times. Once again today.
I initially logged in using Google and while that worked, I decided to change my password and went through that process so we shall see.

In my original post I also thought that you may have missed the tick-box to "remember me", but I later discovered that this box doesn't exist for this forum,

Instead your password is saved in the site cookies, and from what I can see, you have no option other than to save your password. This is very poor programming, because if you login on a public, or friends PC, you will remain logged in after you leave.

You say that you logged in with Google. Could you possibly mean Chrome?. Regardless of which browser you normally use, try using another, such as Microsoft Explorer or Edge, or Firefox. If you can confirm that these other browsers remember you properly, then we can concentrate on fixing Chrome (or whatever you are using).

I suspect that deleting the Acurazine cookies would be the first step to take.

The problem has gone away since I created a new password. When I said that I logged in with Google, I meant just that. It was an option when I first went to this site and since all I had to do was click the google link on the page, it was easy. Not related but I use Safari as my browser. Thanks to all who tried to help.

I'm glad to hear that you resolved the problem.

The type of browser you are using is related, because I assumed that you had a problem with your cookies. I was asking what browser you used , so that I could give you detailed instructions on how to delete your cookies. So when I asked what you used to login with, I was not expecting to hear "Google" as the answer.

You actually used your Google account to authenticate yourself, using the Safari browser.

Using Google as your authenticator could indicate that your problem might have been with the Google part of the login. I assume that you changed your password for your Google account, since it sounds like you did not have a password for Acurazine.

If the OP, or anyone else, is interested, you can visit https://myaccount.google.com/permissions to see what apps are allowed to access the Google services (mail, contacts, calendar, etc.), and also which sites are authorized to access Google for login authentication.

For example the OP should see Acurazine on this list, while I do not because I created a login profile directly with Acurazine.

Yes, the first thing you should always do is toss your cookies.
