Signing in.

[NigelHay]

I've noticed that, when replying to posts or creating new posts, I don't have to sign in to the forum. I'm writing this post now with the 'sign in' button still visible in the top R.H. corner of the screen.

Is this a new thing? I'm sure that, in the past, I was always asked to sign in when posting or replying.

You are still signed in, the header bar just isn't showing it properly.
Sometimes refreshing the webpage will fix this, but it's an ongoing thing that happens to some people.
You can report it as a website issue, perhaps it already has been...

I know Autodesk is actively trying to resolve these issues, but they're apparently hard to track down.

Refreshing the page makes no difference. Would I be signed in if I have just opened the forum web page? I didn't think that it signed me in automatically. If I click on the 'sign in' button it starts the sign in dialogue as though I am not signed in.

So, I have just clicked the 'sign in' button & signed in. It still shows the 'sign in' as though I was not signed in which would support your comments. Refreshing the page makes no difference but clicking the 'sign in' button again then shows the avatar with my name etc. If I then sign out, I am not able to reply or post.

Hi Nigel, as @-niels- mentioned, this is an issue that we are currently tracking, but I would suggest that you use the "Report a Website Issue" button on the bottom af any forums page, and add that you are also seeing this.  It might be helpful to hear from more users so they can do further testing.  Thank you for bringing this to our attention (BTW it happens to me once in a while to).

OK, I've done that.

I wonder if this has been fixed now? I've commented a couple of times today & had to sign in each time.
