So it is a forum site issue. I use slimjet but do not auto login. I would just reiterate that there have been no intentional changes in the forum login procedures.

Thanks for checking.
Strangely enough it works fine in Firefox.
Apologies for not trying it before posting.
Just didn't believe Slimjet was broken.
Thought it was probably something I'd done.

I think Firefox is the best workaround.

I'd bet this was caused by your privacy settings. This is exactly the sort of thing that gets forgotten when you are browsing privately.

I'll check.
I tried out the Incognito mode once but then wasn't sure how to get out.
Maybe some config is still set?
I'll try it out later in Slimjet.

@richb,
"So it is a forum site issue. I use slimjet but do not auto login.

Curious.
I've been using Slimjet since you mentioned it quite a while back, and it always worked as expected.
I'll roll back to earlier versions to see what I find.

I suppose it's a security feature?

I don't know. Does it to me on a whole host of sites.

Sessions expire after 60 minutes. This has always been the setting.

Hi
Sessions expire after 60 minutes
Is there any benefit in clearing out old session logins then ?

Control Panel -> Profile -> Manage remember me login keys
