Remember Me is no longer persistent

#1 Post by Amandaville »

I used to remain logged in to the forum across browser sessions but now when I return I am no longer logged in, even though I always select "Remember me".

The title of this post is kind of apt for my chronic fatigue induced dementia... ;)

On the other hand, that's problematic on some browsers. I.e Slimjet (Chromium based) , though I like and use it , has known issues related to that (many complaints on its forum) , but Firefox is almost perfect in that regard (though it's heavy).

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I'm using Brave browser, but I thought maybe it was a bug introduced with the recent upgrades to the forum since I never had any problems previously.

I've cleared my cookies and I'll see if the problem remains when I log in again tomorrow.

Well, check the url you have used to log in and the one you're visiting back. (https:// vs http:// - notice the 's')

I faced the same situation and learned the hard way, first blamed brave browser. It was my fault (and auto suggest feature of address bar).

Also, MX team should make sure http:// urls should be redirected to https:// always (that's a quite popular web standard nowadays).
They need to just tweak apache redirect rule. Forgot to inform then.

Well I was still logged in when I returned this morning so I think clearing the cookies did the trick.
