if it is smart enough to know this, why not just reload the page?

I've never seen that before. Can you provide more context / steps to reproduce it?

 

[flowerbug]

sure, very easy for me. visit the site without signing in. open up some tabs...

then sign in on one of them. the rest will say that at the bottom until you manually reload the page.

sometimes i just skim articles to see if i want to reply to anything and other times i get distracted of interrupted before i sign on.

never can predict what will happen here until i do it.

Thanks for the added detail. We'll look into it!

 

[flowerbug]

no real big issue, it isn't a problem of not being able to get to the site or signing on or anything like that so minor in comparison. i do find the message amusing.

 

[Xerocles]

Me too. If I leave the tab open and open another tab, then come back to TEG, I get that msg.

That is related to your browser security algorthyms interacting with the site.

Yeah, I think it's pretty core to the forum software and I don't think there's anything we can do to change it... but we'll keep our eyes open for ideas / solutions!

@flowerbug Thanks for asking about this. Happens to me all the time, but then I use a lot of tabs and switch back and forth. Only happens here though. Never happens on any other forum I peruse.

it happens to me on other forums too, so it isn't only limited to TEG (or SS).
