I complained over a month ago about the software being broken. It is still broken. It is worse than ever. I am uncertain but I believe I have had to log back in 14 times today and it is barely noon. At one point I was prompted to log back in 4 times in the span of less than 4 minutes. The main page offers to let me login, but there is a near 100% chance I will be prompted to log in again if I go to a forum. This is ridiculous.
Additionally there is no consistency between which site I am being tossed on to. I start out on tomshardware.com I click on a link and it goes to tomshardware.com or tomshardware.co.uk or sometimes some other random site in the toms hardware group. I have clicked on a link on tomshardware.com re-directed to a tomshardware.com forum-thread. Answered a question. Later I am notified I got a response. And I end up on a completely different site when I follow that response.
To make this even more obvious and more annoying. These sites all have different styles and formatting. For example the tomshardware.com & tomshardware.co.uk look completely different. And everytime you get tossed randomly from one site to another you will once again be prompted to log in.
Passing a credential is not hard. Tracking what site I was on and reasonably expect to remain on is not hard. This is not complex programming. It is just shoddy work. And that it continues month after month is hard to understand.
