Too Frequent Logins Required on Daz3D.com

Hi everyone!
Talking with friends and colleagues, I've noticed that this is a rather common issue: daz3d.com disconnects us too frequently.
On average, this happens to me every day.
It's bothering, because, for example, I wishlist an item, and then I notice that the user icon on the upper right corner is white.
Or I'm going to answer to someone on the forum, after receiving an email, and I'm redirected to the forum homepage.
If it happened every once in a while it would not be a problem, but it's very frequent. Why is that so?
Is there any fix to this problem?
Thank you!

it's getting worse
I never sign out on my websurfing machine, and I haven't had an issue. But everytime I go to Daz on any other computer/device, they've signed me out.
apparently if you only ever use one computer and one browser it's not an issue
so we have been told
yet I stay signed in on other sites for weeks on both my computers and iPad
Just DAZ that does this, every day if not twice some days
If I buy stuff regularly, I stay logged in. If not, I get kicked off every few days.
I use an ipad and a computer and am forever logging in and out as a result.
OpenStreetMap does that too. I just can't stay logged in. But somehow I could go back to the Facebook website for the first time in 11 years and, "Welcome back Nylon!"
It used to happen to me many times a day(only use 1 PC and 1 browser), but it just suddenly stopped for some reason. Now when I close the browser is the only time I seem to get signed out, I usually just minimize it these days.
Maybe your browser is set to delete all the cookies when you close it.
Same here, it happens every other day... but it's nothing new. I stopped complaining years ago, because at least it was down to every other day.
The thing that does bother me is that the little "logged on" icon which should turn white, often doesn't and remains blue with the little check mark... so it looks like I'm logged in but I'm not... usually the clue that I'm logged out is the lack of orange "post update tags" (those little "X-number New" tags that appear next to the thread titles when you are logged in)...
At least it's not logging me out in the middle of posting anymore like it was doing for a really looooooooooong time a few years back... if I wanted to write a reply, I'd have to write it in Notes or Notepad, copy it and paste it super quick before the forum software figured out what I was doing and logged me out.
it's the "please wait while we log you out" that really gets up my nose
and especially if mid post
so politely telling me I am being booted off
I haven't bought anything in weeks and have only been logged out I think once in those weeks.
Wow, so it's not just me! I hope they can fix it.
I use only one computer and one browser to access daz3d.com, but it happens anyway.
Remember that in these days they are making changes and updating ? website software so we can expect some waves.
Yeah, happens to me every time I switch browsers and/or computer

Not surprising. Every post in this thread shows that experiences vary.
This has been happening for quite awhile and doesn't affect everyone or everyone the same. Maybe offer a suggestion on how to fix it to DAZ since you seem to have the solution
i stay looged in for weeks at a time. rarely have to log in, only when i clear my cookies in the browser.
There are settings in some browsers to log out sites, etc upon closing the browser ... and maybe even DAZ has that. I've never checked
Same here. For me, the logout has settled down to a regular 48-hour cycle. I come here every day, and can almost guaranteee that every 2nd day, I'm logged out. I've tried every fix going - deleting cookies, clearing the cache, changing browser.... nothing works.
We can travel to the Moon, but staying logged into a website seems to be beyond the capability of Man.
I use only one computer and one browser for Daz but it happens to me often, sometimes more than once in a day. Like you and others here, it only happens with this site. For others sites it can be weeks of no activity before it happens.
I rarely have to log in on either my main computer or my Surface, but frequently get logged out on my phone. It would be nice if they fixed it, but it's a pretty minor inconvenience.
Other way round here — when I buy something, if I'm active in the forums at the same time (which I am usually) I'm immediately defenestrated. Very annoying if when I'm in the middle of typing up a post reply and there's no visible status change.
I just had to log in twice in the last hour on iOS Safari
I've been getting logged out a lot on MS Edge.
Happened to me today twice using FireFox. First time this has happened in a LONG time.
I really hate it when I visit the DAZ forum, and get signed out when I first get there. I'm guessing this problem has been going on for more than 6 years. You'd think they'd have it fixed by now.
third time now
It's really stupid but completely ironic that I was going to post how I get signed out constantly and guess what I had to do before I posted? Yep, sign in.
It's saved me money though, if I go to buy anything and the site signs me out while it's in my cart, I won't buy it and they lose a sale.
