"log me in automatically" doesnt seem to work

xZAOx · 01-29-2003, 11:08 PM

ive messed with it for a bit, and everytime i close the browser and come back to the page, i have to log in again, even if i check the box that says "autmoaticlaly log me in".

anyone else had this problem? its been buggin' me for a while, so i figured id go ahead and post about it. im using the latest version of IE. maybe its not using cookies, or not using cookies properly?

**Karpo_007** · 01-29-2003, 11:14 PM

Weird, I haven't had any problems. It might be cookie related issue, check that you have the enabled in your IE setup.

xZAOx · 01-29-2003, 11:19 PM

nope, no problems there. all the other messageboards i use work just fine. most of them are php boards too. i even tried lowering my cookie security, and it still was a no-go.

**Karpo_007** · 01-29-2003, 11:21 PM

weird... Well I have no idea what could be wrong... Sorry.

**azure turtle** · 01-29-2003, 11:25 PM

I'm having the same problem...

**Krang** · 01-30-2003, 01:42 AM

I'm not sure if this will work, but it's worth a try:
On the "Privacy" tab under Tools > Internet Options on IE6, click "Advanced...", check "Override automatic cookie handling," and check "Always allow session cookies." Let me know if that works.

xZAOx · 01-30-2003, 02:45 AM

yep, the session cookies *seems* to have fixed it. i almost tried that earlier when i was messing with the security levels hehe. kinda wierd that all the other boards and cookie sites work fine tho, eh?

oh well, thanks!

**Machias Banshee** · 01-30-2003, 09:28 AM

shoot, I'm having the same issue, but I've only IE5....*kicks machine*

xZAOx · 01-30-2003, 04:04 PM

well, that didnt last long. its like if i come back within an hour or something like that, itll still have me logged in. but when i leave for class, and come back a few hours later, i have to re-log-in

**azure turtle** · 01-30-2003, 05:51 PM

Hey Machias, I've got IE 5.5 too. Maybe there's something wrong with earlier versions of IE? That's kinda weird... I've been using the same browser ever since I joined the forums last year.

The Master Foot Soldier · 01-30-2003, 06:29 PM

I used to have that problem, but not anymore.

xZAOx · 01-30-2003, 11:59 PM

well now i just have to log in every time again. damn...um...something!

**azure turtle** · 01-31-2003, 01:16 AM

Meh... It happened yet again. Confound it all!!
*mutters to himself*

**Krang** · 01-31-2003, 03:40 AM

I found an error in one of the template files and fixed it. Did that fix the auto login problem for anyone?

xZAOx · 01-31-2003, 08:10 AM

nope =/

**azure turtle** · 01-31-2003, 06:40 PM

It's still happening to me... However, I've noticed that it seems to happen if I login at the bottom of the forums. If I click on the login link, then it lets me login with no problems.

xZAOx · 02-01-2003, 09:32 PM

either way it doesnt work for me. typicall i use the "log in" page itself, not the thing at the bottom

**Krang** · 02-02-2003, 04:13 AM

xZAOx, did you have this problem before the board was upgraded to 2.0.4? Also, is the amount of time between when you leave for class and log back in more than 4 hours?

xZAOx · 02-02-2003, 04:18 PM

sometimes its that long. now it doesnt matter. apparently the one or two times it worked were just luck hehe. whenever i close this browser, i have to log in again.

ive had this problem ever since i came to this board, and i dont know when you upgraded, so since whenever my registration date ive been experiencing this problem.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-02-2003, 05:14 PM

Thanks Krang, I was having some problems with that too!

But it works just fine now.
