Logging in troubles again. [closed]
Anyone else?
Seems since the new logo went on, I have to re-eenter all my details every time I go to log in? Yes I am ticking the remember me box.
And I have cookies allowed.
We had this problem a while ago (that went away) I have changed nothing since then and suspect it has to do internally on the forum somewhere??
I havent had this problem happening since last time which must have been 4 months or more back?

we have a proposed solution but it may involve losing everyone's cookies and them having to re-enter their username/password details. before we attempt that, we'd like to see how big the problem is. if there are more than half a dozen people we will probably give it a go.
so please leave a note here if it is not logging you in automatically

I have noticed that if I visit from an emailed link after I have logged out the "log me on automatically each visit" checkbox doesn't want to play if I check it. If I enter via the forum main page the checkbox does the right thing and I get straight back in next time.
I have also noted sometimes that if I try to log out of the forum it won't. It just loops and leaves me logged in.
I have leave the site, return and then log out. It usually takes two attempts.

piggy, are you using any privacy software or firewalls? our laptop was running privoxy which was turning all cookies into session cookies. once we told it that .geocaching.com.au was worthy of full cookies, the problem was solved.
riblit, what you said was very interesting. perhaps an old geocaching.com.au cookie is clobbering the new forum.geocaching.com.au cookie. were the email links the old url (geocaching.com.au/forum/abcd) or the new url (forum.geocaching.com.au/abcd)?
we've been able to reproduce the logged out behaviour. it seems to be be linked to autologin - as soon as you log out, it goes to the index page, sees you have autologin, and logs you back in again. we're not sure if this is a bug or a feature! to test our hypothesis, we've modified the forum cookie to see if we can make it clobber the other cookie. it might help piggy's problem - we'll see.
