Chuck U. Farlie Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 What is with MLW's forum software - can't it remember my damn log in information? Every other forum I belong to has no problem remembering my credentials and logs me in automatically. With MLW my password is remembered if I use firefox or chrome, but no matter what neither browser remembers my username or to log me in automatically. Does anyone else have this problem?

Chuck U. Farlie Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Not I. What browser do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I use Firefox and it remembers well. Are you sure you have your browser settings configured correctly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest American Woman Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I use Firefox and it always logs me in automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck U. Farlie Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I use Firefox and it remembers well.Are you sure you have your browser settings configured correctly ? That is very strange, because it has always acted like this for me... no matter if I use my windows system or linux system, or even if I am starting over with a fresh install. Every time my password is saved - both Firefox and Google Chrome as if I want to save the password, but if I close my browser or don't visit MLW for a few days when I return I always have to enter my username again. No other forum I visit forgets, and there is nothing I have changed.... hmmmm... very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 What browser do you use? Firefox and Safari...and Safari on my brother's computer. They both log me in all of the time, as long as no one has cleared the cookies. Are you sure you don't have something like private browsing turned on?

M.Dancer Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 My security is set to delete all cookies after a certian period of time so every now and then I have to re-log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 My security is set to delete all cookies after a certian period of time so every now and then I have to re-log. One other problem with FireFox is that it will once in a while eat all your cookies, history, homepage settings. This happens to me every other month. Most likely it coincides with pushed updates. Otherwise, I have the same issue as well, but overall it does not bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...logs me off constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverwind Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 There is definately a problem because it logs me off frequently when I am in the middle of posting. It does this even if I constantly hit 'preview' to make sure the server does not think I have dissappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yup this board has some big problems...logging off while posting is frustrating to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am wondering about what browser everyone uses and the possibility of being behind a network or proxy server of some kind. I use firefox on both my home pc and work laptop. My home PC is not part of any network and I never have an issue on my home PC, I am always logged in. I do always have an issue with my work laptop. When at home, I need the proxy off, when at work, I need it on. And this is the pc that I always have to log in to post with. Is that the same situation for some of you out there?

Forum Admin Greg Posted September 21, 2009 Forum Admin Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yup this board has some big problems...logging off while posting is frustrating to say the least. I'm not sure what to say, other than, the logging off issue seems to be relatively isolated to a few individual members. I know I've never experienced any issues, and other than this thread, I haven't heard of any other complaints. HOWEVER, for me to properly assess if this is indeed an issue, I need those of you having issues to provide me with more than, "Ya, that happens to me too!". If you experience problems like this, please provide me with the following: Browser and browser version OS and OS Version Type of internet connection (dialup, cable?) Also, I will be preforming a major upgrade to the forum software this week, which may (or may not) fix this issue for certain members.

Tawasakm Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Certain internt security package can be set to remember your passwords for you - such as Norton 360 ver 3.0 (which despite the fact I was pretty anti Norton I have switched back to due to the fact they finally picked up their game). It is my understanding that it is a pretty secure way to remember log in details for your non serious things (it doesn't even attempt to remember my bank log in) and would bypass any other issue which is affecting you. Although I name Norton as one example there are many other packages out there which will do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverwind Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) HOWEVER, for me to properly assess if this is indeed an issue, I-need those of you having issues to provide me with more than, "Ya, that happens to me too!".I just re-installed Vista on a machine and still have IE8 with the default settings and I am not experiencing the logout problems. My normal settings turn off autocomplete and delete history on exit. I have just turned them on that I tell you if the problem shows up. I have had similar problems with other sites running variants of the phpbb software. Edited September 21, 2009 by Riverwind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Now I can't stay logged in either, and I haven't changed anything. OSX 10.6.1, Safari 4.0.3. Edited October 8, 2009 by Smallc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Try Firefox...I'm having better luck with that browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Mac made a large error when they released an update to Leopard for the Macbook Pro. They still haven't fixed it yet, and I have the latest version of Snow Leopard (or, it could be a hardware issue, but it seems to be happening to many people). My browsers freeze and stick for a short time quite frequently, and Firefox seems to do it worse than Safari. It seems to have kept me logged in today though.
