    Default Getting Logged Off Forum

    I just reimaged my hard drive, and now every time I come back to the forum I have to log back on.

    I am using the latest Firefox browser. I do not have this happen at other sites, only this one.

    It does keep my login credentials in cache, so once I start to type them they auto fill, but I still get logged off every time.

    Suggestions?

    There is a little checkbox in the Login dialog telling the server to keep you logged on if checked (which it is not by default).
    I guess it works only if you have cookies enabled.

    Thanks Bertram. I do have that box checked. What is interesting is that I can open another tab in my browser and go to the forum, and I stay logged on. But if I close the browser completely and open a new session, I get logged off. Once I start to type my user name, it auto fills in both my name and password.

    I visit several other forums and websites that require you to logon, and I don't get the same error.

    Strange.

    That is normal browser behavior - once a session to the server is open, new tabs share the session context. Also the auto-fill of fields is a local browser thing independent of servers.

    I have never experienced what you describe (latest Firefox as well here).
    But Firefox tends to ask site-dependent questions - is it possible that you have once pressed "no" or "never for this site" and thus disabled cookies from the site?

    I cleared my cache for this site, and it now seems to be working.

    Thanks for the reply.
