• Thanks for the hint, mortimerfran ;) - Valerie Dec 5, 2009
• lol yeah. I would have forgotten to vote up had you not mentioned that lol. What "club" are you talking about by the way mort? - JCameron Dec 5, 2009

Answer 1

I have reported this problem to the site technicians and I am awaiting an answer. I did put a post here to inform you all, however, my post appears to have gone astray.

• vote-this up to move it to page 1 - qfreed Dec 5, 2009
• ok... - JCameron Dec 5, 2009
• Using Firefox 3.5.5 here and getting logged out repeatedly :( - PulgaRoja Dec 5, 2009
• I've been having the same problems, too. Like PulgaRoja, I'm also using Firefox 3.5.5 :( - AlwaysMe2B Dec 6, 2009

Well, I wasn't eager to join this exclusive club, but here I am anyways! It just happened to me twice in five minutes.

Okay make that thrice in six minutes.

I was using a different computer for most of the day, but on this one it kicked me off.

I'm on: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009101601 Firefox/3.0.15 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

And I have always had the 'remember me' box checked. It didn't seem to make a difference. Señor Queso thought it might.

Also, I haven't changed anything on this computer (hardware/software) in the last few weeks.

Hmmm....

post script: Make that 4 times. grrrrr. Just as I clicked 'Respuesta' I was on the outside looking in. Fortunately I was able to 'go back' and copy text above into Notepad to save it while I logged back on.

Answer 3

I left my mouse on top of the keyboard and its droppings went down into the spaces between the letters. Do you think this caused the problem?

• Oy, I did the same thing!! - Issabela Dec 5, 2009

Answer 4

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for pointing this out. We added a new server to SpanishDict on Friday to help make the site run faster (It's been having a few slowdowns lately). There was a bug related to the new server that was causing people to get logged out sporadically, but I think it has now been fixed. Hopefully you will now be able to enjoy and faster site--and not getting logged out. Reply to this post if the problem resurfaces.

Thanks! Chris

Answer 5

If you are willing to try this, it should improve your overall browser speed and have fewer, if any, timeouts.

Start/Run/type regedit and then click ok

You are now in the Registry Editor

On the left hand side click the expand (+) button next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER expand (+) Software expand (+) Microsoft expand (+) Windows and then left click on Internet Settings folder icon

Now on the right hand side there are two MaxConnections... Threads Right click on each and select Modify select Decimal, log the original value for your records and enter a value of 10.

WARNING!!! Do not change anything else unless directed. These settings are very important to your systems functionality. This one is safe.

Ok now close Registry Editor and Reboot

Your browser is designed to comply with Hyper Text Protocol, which normally only draws 2 streams from a web server at any given time. You have now increased it to 10 streams because your web browser is capable of using more. Your browsing experience will be quicker and more stable.

Among other things, I am a computer systems analyst. I have knowledge and experience making advanced data changes.

Enjoy!

• But don't you think it's strange? It's happening to a number of people at the same time! - Issabela Dec 5, 2009
• And only here... - Issabela Dec 5, 2009
• I believe that I saw a similar recommendation in one on those "Optimizing Windows" classes. Any idea why the default is 2 if 10 is a better setting? - qfreed Dec 5, 2009
• Initially it was enough. As servers become bogged down, it can require more time. Timeout from this page has not happened to me, yet. - coma Dec 5, 2009
• Most likely, there is a server issue or an administrator has made changes. My bet is the latter. - coma Dec 5, 2009

Answer 6

Yes, me too. Very intermittently, but twice in the last 30 minutes.

• I just got logged out like 10 times in 20 minutes. - KoolKanine Dec 5, 2009

Answer 7

I've just got logged out, out of nowhere actually. I was going to vote for an answer and then I saw a question mark instead of the number of votes. That's when I realised that SpanishDict had kicked me out

• At the moment, this is a very select club. Welcome! - 00f2b5a1 Dec 4, 2009
• :D I've always felt a kind of inclination to all the mortiferans and sunshinezmoms ;)) - Issabela Dec 4, 2009

Answer 8

Add me to the list. Using Google Chrome for this site visit.

Answer 9

Did not happen to me yet, been using SpanishDict for about 2 weeks with Firefox 3.5.5.

Answer 10

Yeah, it happened to me once in class and once just now....Is there a bug?

Answer 11

Perhaps it's a new part of the dunce-club!

But in seriousness, I haven't been auto-logged off ever since I clicked the little checkbox of 'remember me' when logging on.

So, until it happens to me, I'm just going to point and laugh at your guys misery!

• I get logged out about every five minutes or so! - sunshinzmomm Dec 4, 2009
• Wierd. have you changed anything on your computer? Different webbrowser or anything? I'm not sure why it's doing that :( - cheeseisyumm Dec 4, 2009
• Maybe the site designers will know what the problem is? - cheeseisyumm Dec 4, 2009

Answer 12

I have been getting logged off all afternoon....very frustrating. Using MozillaFirefox Remember Me is unchecked

Pfft! and apparently while i was typing this too

Answer 13

Happens to me too, using Firefox. It does seem to be intermittent so it's probably related to server load on this site.

Answer 14

Same here.

Answer 15

I got logged off once. So, it's not as frequent as with others but it did happen.
