Site doesn't remember log in

**TehJawknee** · 03-25-2010,11:59 AM

I don't know if it's just me or if it's happening to anyone else.

I noticed it yesterday and thought nothing of it, maybe a one time bug or something. I usually log in from my laptop and save my session (the "remember me" feature) and can easily come back to the newest threads via bookmark.

Usually, the site won't need me to log in, since my password is saved and will bring me in automatically. But for the past day or two, it's prompted me to log in after a few hours of being offline.

So my question is easy, is it just me or are others having this minor issue?

its not just you, it happened to me too.

Thanks for the input, but I doubt your theory.

i'm having the same issue

It could be the upgrade to the latest vbulletin forum software.

Try clearing your cookies, after using the site's log-off button.

And then log in again.

During the upgrade the software changes the "salt" used for the cookies.

I myself had to log back in, and once I did it stay.

Sorry for the problem, if trying the above, and it still does not work, post here again.

For My Info, what browser and windows are you using?

Im using firefox and winxp. I did what you suggested and it worked.

**TehJawknee** · 03-25-2010,11:11 PM

I'm using Vista and firefox 3.6.2, I just did what you suggested and I'll find out if it's working in about two hours when I come back to see if it cleared.

Thanks for the info about fixing it and hopefully this will be the solution.

Edit: It's working so far. We'll find out in the morning when I do the usual morning check. Night.

using firefox and Vista Premium. used the tools in firefox to delete the cookies and relogged in. it didnt remember me .

Spud, here's what I did,

Log out of PSX-Scene via Log Out link. It will say "all cookies clear"
Go to Tools>Clear Recent History then click Details.
Uncheck all the boxes except Cookies, then hit Clear All.
Restart firefox, then log back in, making sure the "remember me" box is checked.

I did this when I got home yesterday, just fell asleep for 8 hours and it remembered me!

Thanks G for the assist. Problem is fixed on my side. As soon as others report that it's working for them, we can close the thread.
