Logging in deja-vu

Post by sapphireblack » Sat May 14, 2022 1:45 pm

Not the first time with this irritation, each and every visit I have to log in. Tedious.

I'm outside of the UK but AFAIK that shouldn't matter. Its the only forum that does this.

Cookie settings? I always tick the ‘Remember me’ box as well. If you don’t then you need to log in every time.

But I never log out and 'remember me' disappears as soon as I type my user name. log-in info is remembered by the device. This started yesterday.

Odd. Not sure why the system seems to pick on you.

My guess is a combination of 'rural' Internet supplied via a WiFi hot-spot, it's the best we can get here, and basically poor local infrastructure generally.
For now service is near normal. Long may it continue 🤞

The only thing that I can think of is that the login cookie isn’t being received somewhere, or is being blocked via the ISP for some obscure reason.

That's a technical sounding issue, and beyond my pay grade. I suspect my current location could be relevant :|

No idea, mate... nothing has changed from our end and I can't see any other reports of similar happening. It's not normal that "remember me" should disappear as soon as you type your username though, sounds like something weird going on with your browser or a plugin of some sorts?

Haha, well I’m not going to feel sorry for you then!

Btw, I’ve just made a small change to the session security which may help.
