Automatic logout

[boxleitnerb]

I've been automatically logged out twice now. The first time, my password wasn't working anymore, too. So I changed it. The second time I got logged out again the new password still worked, though.

I'm using Firefox 22.

Same issue here. Using google chrome.

Same here, just happened a few minutes ago. AT getting all secure on us?

Thanks ViRGE, I missed the announcement, so I am glad you guy took a more active approach.

In the process, anyone who was logged in and accessed the forums during this period had their stored PMs accessed by this script. In addition, any user who manually logged in had their user name and password accessed (141 total users).

For this statement, does that mean there were 141 users logged in and access forums OR 141 users which manually logged in?

141 users who manually logged in (and thus had their credentials siphoned off). If you didn't have your password reset by us, then your name wasn't on the list of accounts we recovered off of the remote server. However just about everyone who used the site in that 2 hour window had their PMs copied off.

I'm pretty sure I didn't manually login but I did get my password reset. I'm just going to assume that my account was on that list.

I've been meaning for a long time to change my AT password. I'm pretty sure I've never changed it since the first time I registered 😵

As soon as I changed my password I came here right away to ask about it and saw this post. Thanks for being on top of this.
