Login Problems

[Andrew Legg]

Hi All,

I am having problems remaining logged in. I load a page in a new window or even when just following a link to another internal thread I seem to be logged out. I then can't view photos etc. I log in again and I lose my place again. Very frustrating

Cookies are allowed and when I log in I ask the computer to remember me and log me in automatically. This does not seem to happen either.

Is this is problem with the site, or is it just me?

Cheers,

Andrew

I have heard of others state this once or twice but has never happened to me

Just you atm mate, but I have been getting logged out/password not remembered every second time I turn off the comp, the last week or so. Before I would never have to log in, and re-type my password.

Hi,

It does happen to me as well. I searched around, and it appears that this problem has been reported to the forum
developers, but it seems that nobody investigated it any further: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2103201

I found a work around...

This is where I am on the address bar:

Code: Select all

http://ausbonsai.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=7166&sid=c75f203fc16b5d9686dcb30104cf7076

And I want to go to any of these:

Code: Select all

viewtopic.php?f=104&t=5049&p=58430
viewtopic.php?f=104&t=4985&p=57182
viewtopic.php?f=129&t=4913
viewtopic.php?f=129&t=4907

I could copy the sid to the end of the above -- like this:

Add a new tab on your CURRENT brower, then copy and paste any of the above onto the address bar.

You will stay logged in, and are able to see the content.

Best regards.

Sounds like a browser issue to me

I am logged in every day on multiple computers and have never had an issue with being logged out

Note that I ONLY use Firefox tho never I.E.

What browsers you using when you have the problem?

Good morning Ken,

Happy New Year

I am using Firefox too -- version 3.6.13. I suspected it has something to do with the browser cookies. I looked at that first. But cannot seem to find anything: Tools | Privacy | Firefox will (Use custom settings for history).

I did not change any of the cookies settings.

Did you have to do anything with your browser Ken? Thanks.

Best regards.

nope I have not had to change anything at all. I use it as it comes out out of the box.

you could "clear recent history' and purge all cookies etc, or the other way would be to delete you mozilla profile and create a fresh one from scratch.

I am also using Firefow 3.6.13. I am going to try IE and see if it improves things.

Don't go IE it's so heavy and slow.

Give Opera a go, if you haven't already. Lite on the cpu, great on slow or fast net, easy interface with good quick commands.

the terms "I.E." and "improve things" are an oxymoron!
Impossible

on a more serious note, give it try and see if it changes anything.

Yeah it will, the site won't load.

[Andrew Legg]

Looks like both IE7 and Firefox are having the same problem on my PC. I have now installed the latest Opera and will see how it goes. The problem seems to be time related. . . .

[Mitchell]

When you have to enter name and password plus click "remember and login", do you also get another prompt from your browser to remember it also?

I believe it is my browser remembering my password. But that's opera, I spent years using IE, then switched to FF for years, then I switched to Opera for ease of use/active mouse gestures. I still have IE and FF on my comp, but never use them. We do all know where FF got mouse gestures don't we? You guys got a speed dial yet? Sorry.

[Andrew Legg]

OK - Opera boots me off as well!!!!!!



I don't understand it!!!!! I tell it to remember my password etc and tell the browser to remember it as well. I am doing nothing different that I know of before. Any Windows settings that I could try to change?

Cheers

Could there be server problems? I am in South Africa, so could it be an international issue?
