[FEEDBACK] Logging on

[theclub]

I still have to keep logging on here, and this is not the first time I have brought it up.

Will someone from IPS please explain to those of us affected by this exactly why?

I am SO glad I haven't upgraded to 2.2, there is no way I am going to subject my members to this! :(

PS: Don't tell me to delete cookies, wipe out temp files, or anything else my end ... none of it works.

I personally have never had any problem with it, isn't there a issue with AOL users and changing IP's?

[zigs]

Im on Aol and havent had to log in once here (well I did once when I deleted my cookies then had to log back in)

[Imola]

same problem on all my forum and all 2.2 forums.... help plz !!! And Happy new year everybody :)

Thanks

Occasionally, I'll have to log back on...

[Brandon C]

I seldom have to log back on here.

Because there's a setting that expires your login key after a set period of time? I can't remember if it defaults to 3 or 7 days.

How come I never have to relogin when others do?

[Invisiony]

I have seen this problem on Invisionize too.

[kafloo]

maybe because the stronghold cookies are activated

I believe it defaults to 7 days.

There is also match browser & IP options in v2.2 - meaning if you have a ISP with a dynamic IP address then each time you change IP you'll loose your login.

[stobbo]

That could be the problem. I am on a ISP which does not have a very dynamic IP address, and never have to log in unless I clear my cookies.

I believe it defaults to 7 days.

What did it default to previously?

[XGhozt]

Its a new security thing apparently. I already reported it as a bug, and it was "working as intended". Eventually it just stopped happening to me. I think its because of people that where on the old boards and when updated the cache changed or something.

Its stopped for me, just clear your cache and relogin.
*cough* Get firefox *cough*

It's happening to me on 2.2 Boards and I am on Firefox.

[squidfish]

its happening to me too and i have to log on every day, even on the same PC using the same browser (firefox).

this has to be a bug :)

Same here, on Mac.

[L.A.]

i think that is a firefox problem, because other guys dont have this problem with opera.
i'm using firefox and have the same problem with IPB 2.2 and 2.2.1

[theclub]

I just had to log in again, even though I was in here earlier.

My comp hasn't been turned off, and my IP address hasn't changed.

:(

I never have to re-login - I haven't been to this forum since Friday, and I just opened it up and I'm still logged in.

It's not a global bug - there is something causing you to be logged out. Do you visit from multiple locations? i.e. work and home? That would reset your login key and you'd have to re-login, for example. There's something specific causing it, and I can't reproduce (here, at least).

[theclub]

Same computer, same location.

[RawkBob]

I'm getting it too, FF&Mac OS X - both on these forums and my own install.

[stobbo]

I use Firefox with no problems, and I know others who do.

[Invisionary]

I've seen it happen here, Invisionize, my own board and others. I only ever access these sites from the same PC in the same location. It seems to be random - sometimes I have to login, sometimes I don't (I've never actually tried timing this).

I use Firefox 2.0.0.1 and have no desire to switch browser just to see if it fixes the problem.
