Do you have instructions that will reproduce this bug 100% of the time? ________________ A just ruler amongst tyrants lambchopsil--- MangaUpdates admin Join the MangaUpdates Folding@Home team!

I do use Chrome. ________________ source: animenewsnetwork Join SRoMU Scanlations or visit #SRoMU at IRCHighWay.

Could also be a Chrome-Bug related to a corrupted local Profile (regarding Cookie-storage?), though that seems unlikely because this happens during a session. Or a http/https-transition issue with the cookies? (Tested it: Nope, works fine. /r/manga 's bot links to the http-Version though.) Basically it goes like this: 1. Search for a series ((Japanese) name) on Google (sometimes limited to mangaupdates.com) 2. Open the Series-page in a new tab. 3. Go to 1 (most of the time without looking at the opened tab) Then a few 30-100 (?) tabs later I notice that I've been logged out.

I was able to replicate a logout by opening a https-link (from a google search result) to a series page multiple times in short succession. (This kind of pattern manifests itself over time, when I look up a list of manga series (each name a separate google result) and try to open their Mangaupdates pages.)

This should mesh well with non-users and logged-out users. For logged-in users the current status could be loaded in via JavaScript, while keeping the Series page static and cache-able. The poll could also get loaded in once via cache-able API.

The weird thing is after I logged in again, the series page I was on did get a corrupted picture: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=141578 I don't know what happened, but before I needed to log in again, the picture was still fine. ________________ When their is hope, their is live.

It also occasionally happens when they post direct links too, like https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=13783 for example. Odd thing is, if I posted the manga via either of those methods and clicked the link, I wont be logged out. Only from other users.
