I keep getting logged out of answerhub while I’m answering or asking questions… Does this happen to anyone else?
It gets annoying to be in the middle of typing a response, hitting post, and needing to log back in, sometimes unsuccessfully. I’ve had to re-write some replies and questions several times because as most of you know these answers and questions often are not one-liners. Other times I get “cannot execute request” with a page named csrfAttack or something similar… Do they think I’m attacking the page? I’m typing responses to questions…
I’m not talking hours here, around 5 minutes, more or less, and I have to log back in. I haven’t timed it, but it seems awfully short for a timeout and awfully finicky for when they think I’m launching an attack.
In fact it happened in the less than 5 minutes I just tried to ask this question!
It’s pretty much everyone afaik. It’s been like that for some months now. I got to the habit of coping everything to clipboard before I post anything, including this very thing… Lost too many replies.
These days when I provide an answer to a question, I actually log out completely and only then write it up. When you submit it like this, the system will log you in and post it normally.
For comments, if I know it will take time to write it up (longer than 7.6 nanoseconds or thereabout…), images and whatnot, I will also log out and do in the answer field instead. After posting it, you can convert it to a comment and reattach where needed.
It’s immature and truly annoying that we need to jump through hoops to help someone. Not sure how much the logout helps, there’s plenty of bots posting daily, often necroing very old threads:
