Why do I have to keep logging in?

[sbarrett4]

Ever since the changeover to the latest board, I have to log in about every 36 hours or so. I have the "remember me" box checked and I do not delete cookies or clear my browser cache. I did not have any problems with the old board.

 

Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

[jedicrippler]

Yup, I've been haivng that problem too. Was just gonna post something.

I've had the same problem since way before the update. I found that if you click the TNI FORUMS link on the left hand side of the main screen, it signs me in without having to enter my username and password.

I format my hard drive regularly..and sometimes after, It remembers me forever, and other times, I will have to login every time I close the browser.

 

I also noticed some computers keep me logged in, and some don't. I've yet to figure it out. every system has been using XP and Firefox.

 

Right now, my computer at home will remember me always no matter what, but before the last format.. it didn't.

 

It wont remember me on my gf's laptop though, and I always use ALT+S to submit my posts, rather then clicking the mouse, but for some reason that doesn't work on the laptop now either.. it did before she got it formated.

 

totally wierd, and seems completely random

[jjlecaros]

well on my comp it always remembered me as long as i didnt delete the cookies, but now it just does it randomly. Ill be logged in, click on a link and then when the page loads ill be logged out

[JoeRhyno]

I know when the upgrade happened, I kept getting logged out, but I found it was cause I had the old page bookmarked, so as soon as I redid the URL for my bookmark of TNI, it was alllll good...

[jjlecaros]

well like i said ill be logged in and then click on a link and itll have logged me out. or go to respond to a pm and itll say i have to log in.......kinda gets annoying having to log in like that

[OB1Killa]

I got's used to it... :)

[jjlecaros]

[JoeRhyno]

I just had a PM and when I checked it.. I had to log in, lol..

What browsers are u guys using? Ive not had this happen once to me since the upgrade.

[Skips]

I need to login as well! Iam using Firefox 2.0

[jedicrippler]

Internet Explorer. And I'm having to re-log in every 2 days or so. Even though I've been tagging the always remember me button. Bloody annoying.

Same here. I'm using IE 6 and have to login every 48 hours or so.

aol (the most), aol explorer (less often), ie (more often)

I did some research on this, and it looks like many users of IP Board version 2.2.2 software are having issues with this.

 

It sounds like the admins on other IP Boards have been tweaking the cookie stronghold option (setting it to No) as well as changing these settings:

 

- Member's log in key: Expiration after 7 days

- Reset member's log in key upon each log in? Yes

 

in the admin control panel (ACP)

 

Dunno if the TNI guys here want to mess with that or not.

I've had a few problems with this in the last week. I'm using Internet Explorer 7 to browse.

Yeah I've looked into it as well. The problem with truning that to off is it makes people's accounts more open to being hacked.` So the question is which is more important, having to sometimes log back in or leaving yourselves open to having someone hack your account. For now im more inclined to leave the board more secure and hope IP comes up with something that addresses both problems.

[Guest Mike]

hackers suck

[gambit19896]

I dont like it either but intell they change the settings I think we are screwd with logging in our name all the time.

[synch]

I use firefox & it remembers for me! also does it not say something about "signing in for the day" now I duno about you guys but to me a day = 24 hours :P not 36 hours

[RC_rika]

If I closed out of here, i'd have to log in... but I can live with it. Rather not be hacked. Not cool!
