Unexpectedly logged out

Did something happen to discuss.p.o by the way?

Off-topic, but the same thing happened to me. I just logged in again.

Did something happen to discuss.p.o by the way? It seem to have logged
me out and won’t let me back in, don’t recall the “auto logout” to have
happened before. Thus replying by email…

Discourse upgraded us to the new version and it went somewhat poorly in that it both logged everyone out, and required an update to the mobile app to log back in:

I wouldn’t have whined if it was that easy …

Authorization timed out, or you have switched browsers. Please try again.

(immediately, no timeout period).

Sorry folks this is completely off the topic, but I can’t find anything
anywhere to point me…

When the discuss site just upgraded there were some side effects (as
responded here earlier). I’ve been using login-with-github for as long
as I’ve been registered, but after being kicked off by the upgrade I no
longer can do that, it just fails immediately. The only hint I can
see about reporting/asking about problems is where it says to message
@moderators, but that’s a feature that only works “between registered
members” so of course you can’t do that if you’re not logged in.

The email interface doesn’t seem to have a way to initiate something,
that I can find, only to reply.

So… does anybody here know how to get help?

You should be able to do a password reset to log in via password and then you can try and reassociate with GitHub (I’m guessing your email or something w/ GitHub changed since the last time you logged in, breaking the association).
