Auto-login not working

Post by Xanatos » Tue Feb 23, 2010 5:31 am

When I visit the forum and sign in I keep ticking the "Sign in automatically" box, but whenever I re-visit the site I always have to keep logging in. Is it just me?

This may seem obvious, but are you deleting cookies used to track your login info or are you using a program similar to Google's "incognito webpage"? This would prevent Auto-login by removing your IP information, I think.
I also read somewhere that people using recently updated internet browsers, specifically Firefox and safari, are having issues with auto-login but this is a problem unrelated to individual websites.

I'm part of two other forums and the auto-login works fine there, it's just this site that's not working properly.

Okay, I'm not sure I have any other ideas, sorry. I don't have this problem with the website as I do not use auto-login; maybe someone who does might have a solution. Good Luck anyways.

I get the same thing but I haven't found any solutions, autologin works on other forums.

I just upgraded phpBB to 3.0.7. Can you clear your cookies, etc and try again?

Does auto-login work for anybody at all?

My computer decided to get a virus yesterday (just when I'm about to get ACII after a several month delay!!!) so I managed to download Google Chrome to gain internet access. I'm still getting used to it and have to re-establish my internet history, so I'll test it out later.

EDIT: Auto-login seems to be working now.
