this is it

i've disabled the thing that supposedly keeps logins synced between vbulletin & joomla. see if it makes any difference...

made it worse...

does it happen if you don't visit http://thumped.com and only open http://thumped.com/bbs?

 

[Cryptid]

Yes, visiting thumped.com logged me out but thumped.com/bbs didn't. It figures, because visiting thumped news articles or reviews seems to log me out. I had no problem logging back in, maybe that was my fault the previous time.

ok try this

in your browser, clear all cookie data (and possible cached files), then restart the browser & log in again. you should be automatically logged in at http://thumped.com/bbs if you log in at http://thumped.com first and vise versa. fixed it for me anyway....

 

[Cryptid]

Nah, visiting thumped.com still logged me out after I dumped the cache and cookies. No worries though, it's not a biggie for me - I can just log back in. Thanks though.

I'm using android's stock browser. My PC is out of action at the moment. I probably should have said that.

nah it's not you.

I think i know what the problem is - A user's session stays open indefinitely here on the forum, but there's a 15 minute timeout on the joomla side. as soon as you open a joomla page it sets the shared cookie to logged out so when you come back here, vbulletin logs you out. I'll extend the timeout on the joomla side & see if that helps.
