Staying Signed In

[alterbentzion]

Like the new format! But is there any way to stay signed in, so I don't have to give my name & password every time?

For starters - try and clearing your browser cookies & cache - there is also a link at the bottom left delete cookies.

When you log in did you check the box to remember me?

When you log in did you check the box to remember me?

Yes.

[Ocean West]

I made a setting change - I hope that fixes it. (curious had you tried another browser ?)

[alterbentzion]

Thanks for your help, but it's still not working in Firefox 3.6.13 for Leopard. I've cleaned my caches (ran OnyX and really cleaned up!), deleted cookies using the link, checked the "remember me" box, and told Firefox to remember my password. After I quit and relaunch Firefox, I have to sign in again.

Will try with Safari after lunch, if my boss doesn't distract me with work... :

I updated a setting hoping that will keep you logged in - you may need to clear the site's cookies one more time.

(link is in the footer )

[alterbentzion]

Nope - still not working in either Firefox or Safari.

But if I'm the only one having this problem, please don't make yourself crazy trying to fix it!

I'm going to try on some of the other computers hr in the office, in the meantime.

Nope, you're not the only one. I'm also experiencing the problem. FMForums sets about 13 cookies but they don't seem to work for staying signed in. Safari here, 5.0.3 on 10.6.5.

[Ocean West]

how are you logging in username password / faceboook / twitter / openID ?

[bcooney]

Me too! Safari, 5.0.3 on 10.5.8.

[bruceR]

how are you logging in username password / faceboook / twitter / openID ?

Username, password. Which is -as we have discussed before - additionally confusing because of course it is NOT my username, it is only a login name.

[Ocean West]

Username = Login Name where as Display Name is what is rendered on the site, for others to see.

Still researching.

[alterbentzion]

Tried with Safari on my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1). Good news and bad: Login is persistant, but layout is kind of garbled.

[Ocean West]

I believe this may be resolved - after one more sign in - your remember me settings should persist.

[bruceR]

Still not working for me.

[bruceR]

Still not working.

[Ocean West]

Bruce - delete your browsers cookies and cache.

This hasn't been working for me either; for about a week or two now. It did work with the new site for a week or so though.

I just logged in, deleted cookies, closed/opened browser and I was not auto-logged in. (using username/pass)

I'm using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows Vista.

[Ocean West]

Please not AFTER you have deleted your cookies (where the remember me setting is stored) you need to log in again and check the box to remember me thats when the cookie is set.

[alterbentzion]

(sigh) I just did that, but still no dice.

[Ocean West]

hang in there - still working on it.

[Ocean West]

hopefully you have notice it now working?

It may had something to do with the default site skin - it has been reset and should be working with in parameters.

[bruceR]

Yahoo! Iz werkink now!

[alterbentzion]

Firefox on 10.5.8 - it works!

Will try to test other browsers later. Thanks a bunch!

[dansmith65]

Thanks! It's working for me also

ahh! I just read my last post: It didn't make sense, I did log-in again and check "remember me" after I deleted cookies. oh well, doesn't matter now.
