Does anyone else ever just get randomly logged out of LJ?

Nope. I only get logged out if I close the window or click "Logout." Dunno what could be causing that.

I don't either, and it's not specific to one computer, or just my account- it happens to me at work and at home, and I know it's happened to Gavin at home too.

I somehow manage to never get logged out of LJ on my laptop. Even after I shut down the computer, I'm still logged in to LJ.

have you ever checked the box to always stay logged in? if you do that, it keeps you logged in even after shutting down and rebooting, unless you trash your cookies.

[mmc327.livejournal.com]

Yeah I did. I would never trash cookies. I have too much of a sweet tooth. lol

you probably clicked the little "remember me" box the last time you logged in.

Could be due to your cache getting pretty full. What browser are you using?

[fuego.livejournal.com]

firefox on both computers...it's happened shortly after trashing cache on one or two occasions- I thought of all that stuff, trashed cache, cookies etc. It also used to happen when I was still using IE.

I always check "remember me" on my laptop and PC. Never had a problem.

currently sharing the home computer, so we log in and out, and I prefer not to keep myself logged in on the work computer when I'm not here.

Now and then -- not very often, and some correlation with newsposts tends to make me think that it's linked to tightening of security (in other words, they force your cookie to expire in case it's possible someone else has control).

Do you use the "Bind cookie to IP address" option? Depending on your service provider, that can cause the issue itself.

[fuego.livejournal.com]

newsposts- like rss feeds? (i've got a couple of those)

No, I don't use the bind cookie to IP option- I don't keep myself permanently logged in, and, at home at least, I don't think I could do that since I don't have static IP...and even if I did, I log in and out because I share a computer with another Lj user.
