Always Logged Out

Every time I come to the forums it requires me to log in, even though I always check the 'Remember Me' tab. Any reasons this might be so?

What browser are you using?
Is it only on this forum?

Make sure you don't have your settings to automatically clear your cookies and such. It's usually in the tools <> settings spot for browsers. Make sure you have the box to save cookies checked.

I'll check this.

Also, I always use Firefox, Serverus.

I havent used firefox in ages and i dont even have it on my laptop, but on chrome it works perfectly. Im always logged in. I'd suggest using chrome and not only for this reason. If you dont wanna then try Blazers tip.

I use chrome too. Firefox will act the same as chrome, it just depends on your cookie settings AND if you clear out your temp folders. If you have a program, say CCleaner, and it automatically clears out your temp files everyday, you will lose your auto-login. The same applies if you have your browser erase cookies upon exiting the browser.

Sometimes you cant set exceptions for specific cookies not to be cleared.

I get the same thing.

But it remember's my username and password though.

This.

Oh yea this happens to me too, except today

Something is up with your browser if you don't know what setting you messed up just restore them to their defaults.

Never happens to me.

Actually, there are some forum software that refuses to remember you when you use a Chromium-based browser. Invision Power Board has this problem and so does phpBB. Even when your settings say to keep cookies, instead of clearing them, the forum doesn't remember you when you close out the browser. vBulletin 4 and WBB 3 seem to be the only ones that remember you when you revisit the forum, even after closing your browser.

I can't speak for Firefox, since I dumped that slow launching POS browser.
