Additional note: If I use Internet Explorer 11 in the same procedure, I do NOT get logged off, no matter which link I follow.

Roberto, UliB,
There were some improvements made last night that should mitigate the issue you were seeing with being logged out. Please be sure you are browsing the site in https. If you continue to see issues, please let us know.
Thanks,

Hello Lili, I have tried with all the offending links I have reported in this discussion and all they worked well, I was never logged out
It appears that site upgrade fixed the problem for me.
Thanks for keeping an eye on this item!

Ok, this has risen to enough of an annoyance to comment on it (or I have a couple of minutes I don't have to be doing other stuff). For several months I have noticed that when I change locations on the forums, from Breakpoint to Jobs or something that I will be logged out on arrival. It doesn't appear to have any time component, it just happened a couple of "jumps" ago, and I have only been on for a few minutes (<10). This time it happened when moving from a "private forum" to Breakpoint, but it has happened when moving from one post to another, or one board to another, Breakpoint to LabVIEW support for instance. I have my machine set to allow "auto log in" by clicking on the "login", but it is annoying, will get to Breakpoint (or wherever a login isn't required, i.e. not the "private" locations) and my first indicator is that everything is unread. Of course, while logged out I don't even see the "private" locations. As I said, this has been for months and doesn't seem to be time outs, unless they are set to <10min!

Hi Putnam,
When you first visit the community, are you accessing through a bookmark? Can you check that the bookmark is saved as https and not http?
When you find yourself logged out, is it after clicking a certain button or link? Is it the same button or link every time / is it reproducible in the same way?
The next time you find yourself logged out, if you can provide the URLs / steps you took to get there, that could help with further investigation.
Thanks,
Lili

I have my browser (I.E. 11.09) set to remember my login to both the overall NI web site and to the Community (they are different) When I first open www.ni.com I am logged in, but it is the http path. When I click on the "communities", in particular the Champions forum, I am automagically logged in as LV_Pro. But fairly often, while in any forum other than the Champions, when I go to move around, i.e. in Breakpoint I am looking at a posting, then go back to the main Breakpoint or sometimes it appears just go to a different level of the thread I'm in, and I see that I am no longer logged in. If I just click the "login" field I am automagically logged back in, but it is annoying, particularly when I go to respond, kudo or see that everything now on the screen is "unread". I don't thing there is any particular URL, or series of moves, feels pretty random. It also doesn't seem to be a time out, at least not a normal one,

Hi Putnam,
Thanks for the information. I am a bit confused on the path you are taking to get to the point when you actually click to login to the community. You shouldn't already be logged in when first visiting, as a new session occurs after closing your web browser.
Can you clarify this statement: When I click on the "communities", in particular the Champions forum, I am automagically logged in as LV_Pro
Are you opening the Champions forum from a bookmark? Did you already login before you got to that page?
When you first login to the community, are you in http?

OK, here is how it went this morning.
1) Opened my IE11 browser. Entered www.ni.com.
2) Was recognized as Putnam by NI site "Hello Putnam" in MY Accounts area, upper right of screen (probably saved login at some point).
3) Clicked on Communities, then Forums. Was not logged into Forums at this point.
4 ) Clicked on "login" and after a couple of seconds was logged in as "LV_Pro"(another saved password).
5) Saw Notification indication on my Avatar in upper right.
6) Opened Notifications and clicked on indication that someone had kudo'd a post of mine,, which then took me to that post. Still logged in as LV_Pro
7) Saw, at bottom of screen, that another page had been added to thread. Clicked on that.
😎 Went to new page of thread, was now logged out.
9) Logged back in (by clicking "login" at top of community page.
10) Navigated to this thread and wrote this message.
11) Had first cup of coffee for the day ...
