Title: Automatic Login
Post by: Shreyas Sampat on April 06, 2003, 01:30:09 PM
Ever since the Birthday Forum opened, clicking the "log me in automatically whenever I visit" checkbox has had no effect for me; it won't log me in automatically like it ordinarily does.  I don't recall having changed any of my settings between just before then and now.

Is anyone else having login trouble?

Not I, but I have the weird curse of none of the problems others mention ever happening to me on the Forge, no matter what OS and browser I use. (I've logged in in the last two days on a Macintosh running Netscape 7, Windows 2000 running IE, and Linux running Konquerer.)

Anyone else?

Mine turned off.
Then it did the wierd bug of partially loging me in...I appeared in the list of members at the bottom, even though the "Log in" link at the top indicated I wasn't logged in (i wasn't logged from a second machine at the time)

It wouldn't let me post without logging in seperate for each post and would not keep me logged in between.

I exited, deleted cookies, rebooted, and that got rid of it...whatever it was.

That happened to me, though it wasn't synchronized to the opening of the birthday forums. I cleared the cookies from my browser and now it works again.

Clearing the cookies worked.  Thanks, guys.
