Automatic login problems

Post by Adam77K » Tue May 14, 2013 4:15 pm

Having problems with automatic logins on the new forum. I can login ok, but even when I check the box to log me in automatically each session, which I always do, it still logs me out when I close the browser. I have to login again next time.

Windows 7, Firefox 20.0.1.
I have cleared all cookies, shutdown browser and then tried again, with same results.
Same with IE8 on Win7
Also Safari and Mercury browsers on iPad

Not tried it on home PC yet (Vista, Firefox 20.0.1 and IE9).

Have you tried turning it on and off again? :text-lol:

To be honest, a few people have mentioned this, and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.

We shall have to make some enquiries and seeing this can be sorted.

In the meantime, hope you like the new format, it certainly has many more flexible features than the old one.

Kind regards,

Cookies, it is a cookie problem. I will PM you Phil.

Just a short note to let you all know that the rather irritating problem of being logged out of the forum has been resolved now.
The system will keep your session alive if you tick the box "log me in automatically...."

The cookies still had the previous domain title in ther signature and this has now been changed to reflect our new home.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
