Forum logins... password doesn't save

Post by sbradbury »

anyone else notice this? Even when I check the "keep me logged in" box, I have to log in every time I go to one of the password protected sub forums. It's really annoying. I can't imagine this is by design? I'm willing to donate my time and fix this if whoever has admin access to the board wants to contact me... should just be some simple cookie settings.

Sorry, I didn't see that other sub forum. Feel free to move it.

browser is fine, this is the only site I have issues with. No one else has or did have this problem in the last few months?

No consolation, but I have the same problem with this site and like you, it is the only one where I do. At least it saves my info and doesn't log me out unless I close my browser, but it doesn't do the auto login when I first fire the browser up. I've tried every setting having to do with logins on the admin panel and nothing seems to make a difference...

It also makes me re-authenticate every time I try to enter the admin area, too. At least we're secure???!!!... :roll:
