Please don't redirect to the Adobe login screen.

If you visit the Adobe Support Community with an expired session it immediately redirects to the Adobe login screen, which can be incredibly frustrating when trying to diagnose an issue a student is having with Creative Cloud. I'll be in the middle of reading a post with troubleshooting steps - only to be whisked away to the login page. I don't use saved passwords or a password manager on enterprise devices.

I understand why it does this - it makes sense to want to refresh the session, though I'd prefer it if it did this in a less obstructive way, such as when I go to interact with something that requires my session to be current. Yes, a quick way around it is to use incognito mode, but then I can't go back through my history to find the posts I used to solve the issue.

Thanks,

Benjamin.

As an FYI, you don't need to be logged-in to read posts. Any user can read forums.

Log-in is only needed to create new posts, reply to posts or access account notifications, profile and private messages.

To access the Adobe Support communities directly rather than via Google, use this URL and bookmark it in your browser.

Hope that helps.

bug and ideas forums don't thread like the discussion forums.

@kglad Doesn't look like my previous post threaded as a reply?

No interaction necessary, it will just redirect shortly after visiting from a search engine - 2-3 seconds or so, just enough time to start reading the page and get interrupted.

Also found out that if you're quick and click 'stop loading' on the browser you can prevent it from redirecting. I've been trying to recreate the issue by invalidating cookies but haven't figured out exactly which ones cause the issue.

do you see a redirect when just perusing the forums? or only after clicking a reply/post button?
