Auto Login not working

[Kram]

Hey dudes,
For the last couple of days I have had to log in each time manually, even though I have checked the box to say login automatically. Just thought you might want to know.

[Mason]

PM Pana or another admin about this. It could just be a simple cookie problem.

[Scott]

this is a strange problem that only occurs in some situations (the worst kind of problem).

For example: my machine here at work logs me off everytime i open the site in a new browser. I have cookies enabled and security set to low (most compatability).

However, my 3 machines at home dont have this problem (including my machine running redhat).

Not sure what to do about this... will just have to poke around for a while to figure out whats up.

My puter does a similar thing Pana, I'm not sure it it logs me off, but I get an invalid_session message if I have the site open in more than one window and try to post in one of them.

Kram are you at work ?
im at work and i cannot use to the Auto login due to a cookie security thing. - dont know the full tech details .. but works it home but doesnt work at work.

[Scott]

i have a feeling it has to do with proxy servers.

at home, mostly people dont use these... and almost all workplaces use some sort of proxy.

[Scott]

woa weird shit..... the autologin works at work on www.future-edge.net, just not on www.farkin.net....

everything backend is the same... anyone else having the autologin problem find this?

[Gutty]

My auto login used to work fine until about 1-2 weeks ago, now i have to login every time. I don't have this problem on HCOR(same board software) and haven't changed any cookie settings.http://helmies.org.uk/Shrug.gif

[Scott]

have you tried using future-edge instead of farkin?

[DOM]

yeah mine is the same dude,

I cannot auto login at home anymore on either sites ..
but at work Future edge works fine ? but farkin doesnt ?

Home it used to work ok ??

weird.

[Scott]

strange shit going on.

[Gutty]

have you tried using future-edge instead of farkin?

Future-edge ????

[Ryan]

future-edge.net Gutty, the publically acceptable face of farkin :) For people who have farkin.net blocked by net nanny type software at school/work.

[Gutty]

Oh right, cheers. I'll give it a go.

for those using at work you might not have the save password box checked.... i dont know if this is just an XP thing but a dialouge box comes up and you have to save the password :?:

[Gutty]

hhmmmm, seems to work on my dads computer here at work. And we're on the same network so i guess i better do some checking on my puter. Stupid thing is, i never changed any settings and my auto loggin works on hcor. ahh well.

[Gutty]

Back on my computer, checked all my cookie settings, still no good though............http://helmies.org.uk/Shrug.gif

[Gutty]

ah ha.....deleted all my cookies and starting from scratch. Now works fine.

[Adi]

Yea I was going to suggest that, delete your cookies, a friend of mine told me to do that and now I can autologin every time :) I don't know if perhaps changing the seurity and privacy settings will help, but deleting the cookies should do it.

Go to Tools->Internet Options-> Delete cookies

;)

[Brett]

won't let me auto log in either...hmmm strange
