Max concurrent logins?

Recently, using my regular TechRepublic account, I have gotten the following message when I try to sign in:

"You have exceeded the maximum number of concurrent logins"

Has anybody else run into this problem?

From what I can tell, the problem began on Thursday, a day that TechRepublic does its web site update or deploys. I'm guessing that TechRepublic is trying to keep people from signing on too many times. It would be nice if the system would reset itself each evening, in the event that some of those signons died an unnatural death.

I've also noticed a potential repeat of the "User Deleted" problem.

Is anybody else having this problem? If so, set up a secondary account and add your comments.

Hmmmm.

Just got back from lunch not long ago and found that I was still logged into TechRepublic. Normally, after being logged for that long, I find that TechRepublic logs me out.

This got really tedious when I was in the middle of a posting that was interrupted by other matters. So I'm thinking that the short automatic logoff has been replaced by something else.

So it looks like using the official log off function becomes critical. If you don't, you run into the problem of having too many concurrent sessions.

Now is there a way to have your concurrent sessions reset so you can use your account if you fail to log off using the preferred protocol?
