AI Thread Summary
Users on Ubuntu with Chrome are experiencing issues with staying logged into PF, despite having the "Remember me" option enabled. This problem does not occur on Firefox or Chrome in Windows, and it began about a month ago without any changes to the browser setup. Some users reported that recent fixes have resolved login issues for most, but one user remained concerned about their persistent logout problem. After further testing, it appears that logging out only occurs when all PF tabs are closed. Ultimately, the issue seems to have been resolved for some users, leading to a positive update.

My home computer runs Ubuntu, and I use Chrome for the browser. Whenever I log in, close the tab, and navigate back to PF, I am logged out again. This doesn't happen on Firefox on windows or Chrome on windows. (haven't tested Firefox on Linux yet, I'll do that when I get home)

This is despite having "Remember me" checked.

Other websites keep me logged in just fine, and I haven't made any changes to my browser setup since it used to work. This only started happening within the past month or so.

I've tried a few things in the recent past and the latest attempt last week seems to have fixed most users login problems. Honestly I'm afraid there is nothing left for me to do :(
 
Since a couple of days I've started using Chrome in Ubuntu.

I just checked what happens if I close all tabs of PF, and then open a tab again.
I was still logged in.
 
I'll check again when I get home, and post back here.
 
Sorry for the delay, forgot about this in all the Christmas excitement.

It seems to be working properly now.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
