Folks / John,
I didn't know where else to put this.
Am I the only one who has to login everytime I visit? Yes, I do have the option enabled to login automatically, but I have to enter my name and password everytime anyway. This started only recently, when the forum URL moved to where it is now.
Any suggestions?

Logging in and cookies
Originally posted at johnlsayers.com, topic 563.
I'm new to this forum, so I've had this problem from day one. I did verify that there are no cookies on my system originating from johnlsayers.com, so I have concluded the "stay signed in" option simply isn't depositing one. I can't offer you a solution, but I wanted to let you know that you're not the only one.Am I the only one who has to login everytime I visit?

No Problems here, what Browser?
Won't remember me either.
IE6 with cookies turned on.
BTW, got milk?

Ethan - are you logging into johnlsayers.com or homer.com.au??
We had to shift it over to johnlsayers and turn off homer.
You should be logging into
http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/index.php
let me know if it still isn't working
cheers

That's where I get in, but nothing happens automatically.

Like Lee, that's where I log in too. When you moved recently, I changed the URL I click. I'm using IE6 with cookies enabled. It worked at the old URL, but not at this current one.
I hope this helps you know who to yell at. :D
Thanks.

The login problem is to do with cookies and the cookie may be sensitive to a change in the base domain I made recently ( www.johnlsayers.com now rather than previously under my www.homer.com.au. I've set the cookie domain to specifically point to www.johnlsayers.com so could anyone having problems here try again - By looking at Tools -> Internet Options -> Temporary Inetrnet File-Settings -> View Files, you'll be able to see your cookies. There should be one from www.johnlsayers.com which contains your session information.
Hope this helps - let me know
Peter
Peter,

I have several cookies from www.johnlsayers.com and I'm still having the problem. Should I look for a particular cookie? Should I read the text inside one or more cookies and tell you what's in them? I'll be happy to help any way I can to get this fixed.
Thanks.

Ethan - I had some old Homer.com.au cookies and johnlsayers.com cookies. I erased them all and then relogged back in checking the Loggin everytime box and everything has been fine.
cheers
