Anyone else having a problem staying logged in since forum update, and yes I have checked the box

I'm okay here Mike. I did have a problem at first even accessing the site never mind logging in, but now all is well.

Make sure your not wiping the cookie with ccleaner.
Re-add the cookie in ccleaner.

Found the problem I think. I have had to delete the link to the forum from my favourites, then create a new one. All seems to be working ok now.

I had this problem as well, but doing the above has solved it for me also.

I didn't have any login problems, although it seems like everyday when some sections of the forum are beyond slow and sometimes won't even load.

I thought my problem was solved but it isn't. I still have to log in each time I access the site. The first thing I did was to delete the old cookie via Cleaner , then create a new one by returning to the site and saving the new one. This had no effect.

I don't really mind having to log on each time, but you know how it is, laziness gets the upper hand. I'm sure the solution is very simple and is staring me in the face.

I don't have that problem at all.

This is kind of strange. I still get auto logged in on my desktop and laptop.

Yep I am still having the problem as well, but only on this forum.

Yes there is definetly a problem i cant stay logged in either. I never really noticed till I went to reply to this. Not sure what it is, but just recently happened. Cowboy

Well if anyone is using Firefox try this in 'Tools->Options->Privacy'
1. Under 'Cookies->Accept cookies from sites' select 'Keep until: They expire'
2. Under 'Private Data' untick: "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" or optionally enter it's settings and untick just Cookies so that cookies are kept.

Perhaps after doing that click the Log In text at the top of the CCleaner forum (not using the quick log in box), and make sure the box is selected to remember you.

Well I aint sure what happened, i didn,t change any settings. But no problems now. Cowboy

All my settings are exactly as you describe, but I still have the problem. Very odd. I just can't think what it can be.

I'm using IE7 and even by resetting to accept all cookies. I have to log in each time.

After the forum upgrade I couldn't even access the forum. The only thing which got me back here was clicking on the "you have been added to a friends list" email from rridgely.

It would seem the the new invision power program only alows a user to remember one forum with auto login. I have found if I remove the other forum I frequent then the cookies for this forum are remebered. But the bad news not both. So it looks as if I will have to log in everytime. Seems a very poor piece of programing

Hi Mike, this doesn't seem very likely. I'm sure most of the regulars here are members of other forums other than this one (even though this one is the best )

I have no clue what is causing the problem though. It can't be just the two of us experiencing this surely ?

I am a member of several forums and can access each one without having to log in.

You two must have something on your system in common perhaps. A couple of PM's between you may turn something up hopefully

Perhaps others do not use the auto log-on. I also meant other IP based forums. Just to prove my theory I deleted the other forum and this one was then remebered and logged me in. The first forum wouldn't. I reversed the situation and my main photography forum is ok and this one wont auto log in again.

I've changed two cookie settings which should hopefully solve the problem.
The new version of the forum had an additional cookie (enabled by default) which prevented cookie stealing by embedding IP-Location related info. I've disabled this as I don't believe we need the super security.

MrG

Thank you MrG that's done the trick, makes my visit here much easier.

Ditto. Thanks Mr G.

It's happening again. I need to log in each time I visit the site.

I've sorted it out. I had the Firefox "Stealther " extension switched on by mistake.

I am still having to log in every visit, even after doing everything suggested.
It's not a major problem but, is quite annoying all the same.

Have you read This thread ?

Thanks for that Woody, no I hadn't seen the thread, I added the CCleaner.com cookie closed CCleaner then revisited and didn't have to log in so, hopefully it's worked.

Just a little update to this,
adding the CCleaner.com cookie had appeared to fix the problem,however today I have had to log in again.
Any more ideas ?

I have had it only happen once. I talked to MrG a few days ago about it, he said he changed another setting on the cookie management.

Does this mean I won't have the problem anymore?

Who knows...

Same here, hopefully that was just the cookie settings change. I have been kept logged in with just the CCleaner.com cookie for last week, no forum cookie was appearing, but that returned today too.

After examing the cookie, here goes...

CCleaner.com cookie has been removed, forum.CCleaner.com should be the only one appearing now.

I don't know if this is a forum setting or not. But the password part of the cookie, expires 7 days after the time you logged in. That's probably why it's only happening ever now and then.

Does this mean that every 7 days you have to log in again?
If the password part of the cookie expires after that amount of time, why am I still having to log in every day ?

Had to login again just now

And again, twice (so far) in one day, so its not fixed

No probs with the auto login but where I have found a prob is when I add an attachment into a post, press the "preview" button then try to have a look at the attachment I get the below error message:

Where are you posting and what kind of file is it?

Posting here,such as the jpeg my optical illusion thread.

Insert the jpeg attachment,preview the post and try to open the pic to see if it renders properly.

Then the error pops up.

Still am able to post though but can't check the jpeg in preview mode.

I get the same thing, you just can't preview an image while in preview mode. You can always edit the post.

Yep,no big prob really.

Just read in another forum about login problems to forums.

One solution which was given and seemed to work for some, was to untick the cookie box for Internet Explorer or Firefox in Spywareblaster>protection> relevent browser tab.

Just in case it works for some who are still having problems.
