Login Every Time I Visit?

Post by Washita »

Why do I have to login every time I visit this site? I've been registered for several years, check "remember me" every time, and still have to login all over again every time I visit. The situation has changed 2 or 3 times over the years. For years I only had to enter the first letter of my user name and that'd bring up the rest of the info automatically. Then, fairly recently when the home page changed, I had a coupla weeks where every time I visited all my info came up automatically when I clicked log in (nice!), then it changed again recently to where I have to enter all the info every time, which situation continues. Has this become the new norm, or am I doing something wrong? It's no big deal, of course, but I prefer the situation that existed a coupla weeks ago. Anybody else experiencing this?

I dunno. I do know that when I try to access the site on my laptop, thru my home wifi router, it lets me right in. When I am using a different wifi, such as when I traveled to Maine two weeks ago, I have to sign in. This, I can understand -- sorta.

"Maybe" you have the computer set to discard and/or not accept cookies?
You can check Remember Me but if a cookie doesn't stick it won't do any good.

On my iPad I get in with out having to log in, rarely it'll kick my info out and have to type it all again. My iPhone on the other hand never remembers so I always have to type it.

Not sure what you are using, iPad or laptop or pc but if you have / use AUTO FILL you should be able to add the log in info...

I'm using a laptop, and haven't changed anything that might affect my logging in. I use Autofill and haven't done anything with cookies. Oh, well--as I said, no big deal. It only takes a minute to log on.

Sometimes the cookies get corrupt. Try deleting the cookies for the site. Then login again. Then shutdown the browser. See if it requires you to login the next time you open the site.

Is your computer set to automatically download and install updates? This will sometimes reset certain parameters you've set.

When my IPad starts mis behaving, I give it a time out, just like an unruly child. I shut it off for 10 minutes. Usually when I fire it up it does what I expect. YMMV

On my HTC Android I was having to login each time. Investigation indicated that at the bottom right of the active topics page is the three line menu marker. I selected delete all board cookies. I logged in again and so far it is repeatedly logging me in. It stopped doing that after the last board upgrade.

That is a local (to you) issue, not a forum issue. The forum uses cookies ONLY to keep track of login sessions. That makes keeps your login from getting hijacked. Since it won't log you in automatically, you'll need to clean up whatever cookies you've got from the site and then make sure and ALLOW cookies from Leverguns Community.

The forum software is set to allow you to "log in forever" basically. This works great for folks who log in from home, you don't want to do it from a public computer!

Thanks, guys. I deleted the cookies and shut down completely for awhile, but it didn't help. I think I'll just live with signing in every time. Like I said, it's no big deal and is only worth so much effort.

Oddly enough, the new software is working opposite for me.

The old software would log me out (even with appropriate checkmarks) even if I left the forum, visited other websites and came back - still in same browser session

This version is keeping me logged in couple days or week or so at a time

Windows 7 and firefox 32 bit 52, 53, 54 or so, if that helps.

Also running adblock plus, ghostery, https everywhere.

What browser are you using? I'm usually using Chrome when I come over here, and haven't had to sign in again in weeks/months.
