Logging in — again

[Greynomad]

Been having problems with the forum not remembering me for a month or three.
Came to a head yesterday when I was logged out every time I tried going to a new page, and had to login again.
Eventually it threw a wobbly and told me my login was invalid.
Several re-tries failed, even using the ‘I forgot my password’ link. Gave up for the night.
Yet today (after a third unsuccessful attempt) I shut down the app, reopened it and logged in automatically without problem!
I’m mystificated.

It remains to be seen what happens after I logout from this session…

Generally a cookie problem. The forum has done an update but your cookies still tried to link to the forum before the update and that doesn't exist any more. Sometimes they add a legacy period so trying to sign on to the old version links to the new version, but that doesn't run for ever, so eventually you need to clear the old cookies and add the new one. Closing the app then reloading it would have added the new cookie and ignored the others ....
Either that, or it's a fruit machine problem

Hi Admin,
Ian here (Nomads),
I am having to log in every time I visit the site, even though I select “remember me”
This has only started happening again in the last few weeks.
No changes, that I know of, from my side.
Regards,
Ian

Ian, I had that same issue a while back. I found that if I ticked the 'remember me' box before I input my log in details it did remember me. There have been a few kerfuffles with the forum recently and if we all just roll with with it for a while, I think everything will turn out OK.
I think stuff happens way back in the backroom room of the bulletin board, that nobody here has any hope of controlling.

Thanks Supersparky,
Tried that but no luck!
Will just log in every couple of days rather than the previous check each night.
It may fix itself - stranger things have happened.

Might not fix it but can you test it by trying to log in right down the bottom next time rather than at the top/rt corner?
Please report back?

Hi Bruce,
Tried that but no luck.

Ok, what browser are you using?
Phone or laptop?
