Login question

[uainhnl]

When I go to the login page the box for "Remember Me?" is checked, yet every day when I come back to the site I have to log in again. Is there a problem with the way the site cookies are designed? In case it has any bearing, I am using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox as my browser.

Hmm.... I'm using Firefox most of the time as well and it always remembers me. Have you ever used the Firefox option that lets you reject cookies for all sites except the ones you specify? If not, I'd try going to the link on the forum home that says "delete cookies set by this board". It's towards the bottom just before the site stats. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll give it some more thought.

Well I just double checked, I have the browser set to accept cookies from this site. I tried the "delete cookies set by this board" link as well. It still doesn't work when I close the browser and the open it again I have to log in again for this site. Meanwhile I tried it with Internet Explorer and it remembers me there. Weird.

Well.... if you deleted the cookies, the very next time back, you'd have to input your username and password because the cookie should be gone. But maybe it would set a new one then so your second time back it would remember you??

Ok, all this cookie talk is making hungry, headed to the kitchen now to see if there are any cookies there I can delete.

I thought of that, but the next time I came back I still had to log in again. Same for this visit as well. Weird. Only on this site though.

I think I am a hard case. My computer is retarded. I have erased all cookies and started from scratch. I set Firefox to allow cookies from nonrev.net, and it still won't remember me on this site if I close Firefox and come back. But it works in IE. I do have one curious observation though. When I view the cookies in Firefox, most of the cookies show as expiring at the end of the session. However, the member id cookie shows an expiration date of tomorrow, and the password hash cookie shows an expiration date of the very minute I logged in, which to me suggests it won't work for the next time I come back to the site. I tried to look at the cookies in IE, but for some reason I can't view them.

Again, in case it helps, I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, with the latest version of Firefox and the latest version of IE.

Check this setting:

Tools/Options/Privacy/Settings/Clear Private Data/Cookies

If you have "Cookies" selected in the above path and then underneath in the same dialogue box - Settings then have "Clear private data when closing Firefox" selected, I think it's going to clear all your cookies every time you close the browser.

Not the problem. All my other sites retain their cookies and remember me when I close the browser. I seriously think I should chalk this one up to gremlins that want to torture me mentally.
