Autologin function

Post by Wall-e »

When we login to this board, there is a box to check for "autologin". Even though I check it, I still have to login manually each time. Do one of you Admins know why that is?

It is an issue we never managed to fix. Well, actually we did, but then something else didn't work. We are setting up the forum from scratch now and hopefully it will then work again.

It seems to work for me *if* I use a bookmark that takes me directly to: https://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/

If I go to the home page and then go into the forum, it seems to lose my login and I have to re-enter it. YMMV.

Overall, DAN retains my login as well as any website and better than many.

I just tested Chris' experience. Not the case here. My login is retained irrespective of how I access the website or its landing pages.

The Autologin seems to be an ongoing issue but I have hope we will soon find the error. It is inherent to phpBB software and the developpers have added a function to manage the "Remember me" keys how they call it. If you click on [Control Panel] on top of this page, then [Profile] then [Manage "Remember me" login keys] you will find a list of keys created to remember you on a certain computer.

So far the theory. This showed me that I had a lot of these keys on all kinds of devices. I logged out from DAN on my laptop and phone and deleted all keys except for the one I am on right now.

Today, I discovered some browser differences. Chrome tended to drop my login information. FireFox tended to retain it. Conditions were standardized: saved login info at both levels (browser & "Remember Me" on phpBB).

It is all manageable. Just not quite as smoothly integrated yet.
