i keep getting logged out on my main when using the forums. idk what's going on, but it seems to be a bug with the forum preview system which is sending malformed cookies for some reason.
it doesn't seem to be happening on this account or any of my other accounts though.

idk what's going on but it REALLY needs to be fixed. people will think they were hacked.

I saw on another thread something similar to this being forum related. Not sure what you mean by “forum preview”, could you explain further?

something is going on with /discuss/preview and the scratchr2 message count API
apparently those APIs are sending an empty scratchsessionsid that instantly expires

I don't get logged out randomly.

I recorded making a post preview with the button using the Network panel in the DevTools.
For me there was a Cookie header on the request to /discuss/preview/ and /messages/ajax/get-message-count/, but there was no Set-Cookie header on the responses.
^ = only the browser sent cookies, the server didn't

I tried opening the URL-s in an incognito window (I didn't log in), and then the server sent the empty cookie.

{
	"scratchsessionsid": {
		"expires": "1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
		"path": "/",
		"value": ""
	}
}

Were you logged in when that request was sent? were cookies sent with the request? (if no then the empty cookie in the response might isn't a bug)
