Good question for Pete. I'm having the same issues.

when did this problem start for you? what browser? **edit seems to have started for me a day or two ago

Until we find a solution, try checking the 'auto login' box when you log in next time. ***edit appears to have no effect for me

you might also loosen up your cookie restrictions in your browser also. Just guessing but i would think you'd have to take a cookie from the site so it would know who you are from one visit to the next


I may have to wait until phpBB.com is back online; they got hacked a few days ago and everything is down including the support forums

After careful thought it MAY have been the way I had my cookie domain set up. Difficult to put into words for an old GA hillbilly but I switched some things around and it appears to be OK for me now. I welcome input from others.

ALSO scroll all the way to bottom of main page and click 'Delete Board Cookies". It won't hurt anything although you may have to log back in

Seems to be working right now. So whatever you did Pete it worked, plus I went to the bottom of the page and deleted the cookies as you suggested.

good to hear. seems to be working for me as well.

on a related note there is a setting somewhere that determines the amount of time a member stays logged in without activity. IIRC it is set fairly high, like maybe 24 hours. i'll look at it when I get a chance

This morning and several times in the past week I have needed to login. Is it me or does the problem here persist?

on the main page near the bottom, delete all cookies

there's also a setting somewhere that I can tweak. i'll search for it and advise

user sessions were set to expire at one hour. I just increased it to two hours

just be sure to not forget to logout and, don't leave a current session on a public workstation. a non-user could take control of your account
