Often I get a red banner on top of the screen "Lost connection with the application". Nothing happens and it goes away just to appear later.

Happens all the time to me. I just ignore it. Doesn't seem to hurt anything.
Nothing happens, just annoying. Should not appear.
I get that as well, but not in all the forums and only if I click on the right hand side title. Well at least I'm not alone đŸ˜‰
Clear cookies (this signs you out), press Ctrl+F5 (reload site), sign in - for me that helped.
As mentioned, it’s been happening from day-one.

I think the message banner and the retry count need to be better synchronised. Please ignore it.
I'll add it to the bug list (I get it as well, but forgot to add it).

These forums have a modern structure, with a lot of the works being done on your computer using javascript. Sometimes the link between the browser and server part gets delayed or broken and that message is put up. The link gets re-established mostly, if it can. It can happen if there is a temporary interruption in the internet link, or a change of IP address or just too much traffic. Most apps structured this what just don't bother with the warning message. Don't worry about it unless things stop workng, in which case you'll need to reload to reset things.
We should aim to get rid of the error message though.

DeletedRemoved userIf you must. Personally, I find useful because my satellite modem plays up quite often.
I think we must, if the error is transitory and the system (our end) can recover from it in a very short span of time.

Or make it more informative and less scary.
You can just safely ignore it for now, it is juts part of the interaction between react.js and misago.
Everybody can force is my loading a page just reload it before rendering is complete.If I find the place I will deactivate it when the connection is lost because a page reload.
This is different than anything discussed above.
Before the switchover to the new server, if I didn't physically log out, I was still logged in when I next opened the website.
Now it appears that log off occurs automatically whenever I leave.
Seems like I need to re-log in each visit.
Not a problem because it's probably good practice to not remain logged in when leaving.
But for me it is a different website characteristic than before the server change.
.Probably should have mentioned that aside from the initial log in following the server change, I don't need to clear cookies for a successful log in,
The server doesn't enforce logouts. It must be something within the client - maybe it deletes cookies on exit or close.
None of my clients log me out.
