None, everything is already great (if your head is buried in the sand).


Nailed it.

Most people already know how to do this, and it doesn’t matter anyway because it doesn’t do anything to fix the issue we’re all having.

Just so we are clear, clearing cookies is definitely not the issue. I clear my cookies every time I restart RB.

One the bright side, this is the first day that I have not been automatically logged out. So, there may be progress.

I am still being thrown out every 20 minutes or so. Regardless of me using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, and regardless of me checking in with facebook or with password. .

We’ve found that some users had amassed 500+ cookies and were timing out. This fixed latency issues that allowed login, the site to work and for them to enjoy a session.

Stop turning things around.

The users were not responsible for these cookies - you were. You found that *you* were continually sending out new cookies without clearing old ones, the users’ browsers were simply doing what you were telling them to do.

And when I say "you found", I should write "some time well over 7 years ago it was reported to us", because I know I reported that issue long before I moved to Estonia 7 years ago.
