Since moving to the new host I haven't been able to stay logged on from sesion to session as I was able to do before (i.e. checking the "always stay logged in'  box on the login dialog).  I have deleted and examined the cookies left by the forum.  They always specify "expires at end of session". 

Is anyone else having this problem or is this by design?

Ok, I found the "forum Upgrade" thread in the GenGen forum.  I did a search before posting here and obviously didn't find it til now. 

I also found a thread in the SMF support forum talking abut similar problems.   So I guess that I'm not alone and that eventually this will pass.

PS Moderator,
Please move or lock this as you see fit.  Thanks.

Can you try with IE and see if it works, just to make sure it's not a Firefox issue?

RickJ

Using IE does the same thing so I don't think it's Firefox.

Coming to the forum through http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb ? Nowdays the security settings very easily block third party cookies...
I used to make games but then I took an IRC in the knee.

OK, I got my Firefox working correctly.  I did the following to fix the problem and stay logged on forever using the Firefox browser.

  • Enter the forum forum  from http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php

  • Delete all cookies

  • Delete all exceptions, which I think may have been the problem.  (i.e. Allow, Block, etc) cookies from speciific sites.

  • Option: Allow sites to set cookies

  • Option: Ask me everytime

  • Repeat above procedure until it works
