Am I the only one who’s had something get screwed up with this forum?  Some recent change or re-do that causes me to have to sign in each and every time I visit?  

The look of the page has changed, the background is now black....  what the hell is going on???

    I switched back to light mode - still this is the only page with the dark background and - worse - I still have to sign in every time I visit. Something’s fishy in Denmark......

    Mine is OK.
    Everytime my PC changes it is usually do to the every other day windows update.
    Which is usually corrected by the every other day update.

    Restart your phone. This helps with a few bugs I have on occasion.

    Okay. I’ll give it a try. Thanks  👍

    Nope. That didn’t change anything. 

    @TheCigarChick, are you the current forum page fixer-upper? Or can you point me toward someone who can straighten this mess out for me, please?  It’s very annoying. 

    Thanks...... 😃

    Hi, Charlie. Hope all is well with you. 

    Mine is still forcing me to sign in each time I visit - which is numerous times per day. What a pain in the butt. Oh, well, I guess it’ll all get worked out eventually. 👍

    Well, in dark mode it makes sense that it's happening.  Dark mode doesn't keep cookies, so how is it supposed to keep you signed in?  Maybe you have cookies turned off in all modes?

    Glad you found the cause otherwise you might have had to re-season your phone and start over.
    Now this is not the end of the cigar. It is not even the beginning of the end of the cigar. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the cigar.

    My ability to fix is dependent on how simple the task is, as technology and I have a dicey relationship. LOL

    I'll put in a service ticket with our IT Dept since I don't believe the one person who tends to assist here I do not believe has a profile on the Forum.

    I think the real solution is to place your iPhone on your workbench, smash it with a hammer, and go buy an Android.

    I agree with the hammer part but just skip buying a replacement Android.

    Thanks to everyone but I’ve already figured out what was wrong and fixed it. 

    @TheCigarChick
    I hope it won’t be a problem to cancel the request to IT.  I should have tried harder to solve it before asking you for help. My bad.... 😏

    @jlmarta Very easy to cancel the ticket, and thank you for being the tech knight in shining armour. My Dad always would say I have "negative electronics karma," because as a teen I would touch things and they would inexplicably break. LOL

    We have a corner of the living room like that, stereos and TVs would work intermittently there and then break.
