Forum Problems

[funkyg]

Hey! Does anyone else have this problem on the forum?

Every time I visit it forgets my username, even when I check the 'remember me' box.

If I read and then reply to a message it says that I'm not logged in and I have to login again. But before that I have to copy and paste what I have typed.

It's very frustrating!

never happened to me.

Sounds like it may be a setting on your computer somwhere - I'll wait for the tech boys to tell you what to do though !

I also think its related to your own computer.. possibly something to do with cookie settings or something.. wait for a techie though, you will know when one arrives by the Anorak lol.

Haha.. Em took her Anorak off then sneaked in infront of me ;)

I found Em's Anorak outside.

I have the same problem with TOC and noone has fixed it yet

It only happens when I switch to a different ISP

If I stick to the same ISP I can logon automatically

dont have this problem with other websites such are gmail and facebook

[funkyg]

Yeah, my cookies are enabled. It's really wierd. It's the same as vmail's problem. All other forums I use remember me, it's just TOC that seems to forget me. :-(

It might be the mods playing games with you! (It has been known :censor: )

I have better things to do!

And unfortunately as infinitely powerful as we are, we don't have the power to do that....

But thanks for thinking we're that awesome!

[vmail]

you could try anonymous link

it might help if you keep changing ISPs

[GIDDLEPIN]

I turn my computer off every night and it happens to me every time, I have tried Em's suggestions but to no avail.

So if I had the buttons to fix this I would ;)

AFAIK,

it could be to do with what IP/ISP the logon logs with ur user a/c it used to happen to me a lot on different networks but i've sorted it now,

all the cookie blah blah blah settings means nothing, i do believe it is purely down to IP addresses..don't ask me how i know that IP/ISP is linked to ur account i just know/beleive it is!! not the best way of filtering users but if it works for the admin/owners then hey ho.

However a good walk through emski hun but...not sure it's cookie related.

HTH,

Mo

[vmail]

its just bad programming which has no purpose in the real world

please please please fix it, or show me the code and I might be able to help

A quick google reveals the site admin should turn off Stronghold cookies.....

If you have Stronghold cookies on, anytime a member's IP address changes, then he has to log in again. So if you don't have a static IP, you're going to be logging all the time.

[JappyBeast]

I used to be logged in all the time at my old house but since I have moved I have to log in.

[Bizarra]

I am not at all technically inclined, so this may be irrelevant (what's new )

I have 4 e-mail addresses. All 4 are instructed to remember me on this computer. 1, Hotmail, doesn't & won't. I could safely say that all my "Fun" sites, eg, e-bay Townsend Records etc are remembered automatically. Obviously, financial sites do not.

For me , TOC is an automatic "click" , up comes user name + password & I'm in

That's what the "problem" is- if I log in from work, it remembers me until I log in from home, whereupon it remembers me until I log in from a wireless hotspot etc etc. It actually remembers your IP address, so if that changes, it forgets it's you

I got the same thing with Google Groups - in Firefox. With cookies turned on too. In the end, I had to locate the Google cookies in the cookie manager and delete them... then it worked.

I hate cookieeees.

now that we know what the fault is, when is it going to get fixed?
