To me it doesn't work even if it does.

The only way the forums (for me) make note of what I've read is if I hit "mark forum read" and the purposefully log out. (and while it has not been common lately although still happening, if it logs me out while I'm in the middle of browsing or even logging in, it marks it all read.)

If I go away, come back, often I'm logged out and nothing read is marked such.

Also, it's still doing the "Different device/ip? LOGOUT!" thing to me, making it a pain if I decide to check the forums on my phone, then later at my home comp or even still on my phone but on cellular data or a different wifi network.

Right now, if you exit your browser you are logged out on return, regardless of the "Remember Me" button. I have looked at the cookie, and it is set to expire at the end of the (browser) session.

Edit: I should add, though, that since that happened, the forums have not logged me out without stopping my browser even once. No idea what's up there.

Woo, wondered what was up with the Hero skin. Sanku for the update.

And yes, to add to the others, I get logged out when I close out the browser, then come back later. Doesn't matter how long later either. I've got Remember Me checked, but I'm just too forgettable.

I have to login every time I check the forums, even if I check "Remember Me".

Yup. This happens to me, too. But for me, it only happens if I don't check Remember Me. If I do check that, it's random.

Using a cookie editor to change this cookie to NOT EXPIRE lets me close the browser and be logged during my next browser session.

Edit:
I'll point out that after I decided to do something and get a cookie editor, it took me all of 5 minutes to see which cookie was improperly set.

My experience is that I am logged out at about the 24 hour mark. And if I close the browser much earlier than the 24 hour mark, I am not "remembered" and have to re-login.

But the best thing is that my history is indeed remembered even if logged out. Previously, the 'log out bug' would very annoyingly reset my history. That's not happening anymore for me.

I didn't test the theory, but I had pegged it as that one just based on the name back when I looked at it a couple of weeks back. Good to know for sure though.

I... can't tell if you're serious or not.

Seriously?

YES. STILL HAPPENING ALL THE TIME!

And this.

Before the switchover to Freedom, I would get the logout bug MAYBE once a week. During the time period when a bunch of us had to change our passwords to get back on the forum, I changed mine (to the exact same password) and now I get the logout bug ANY TIME I close the tab with the forums in in. I check remember me EVERY TIME. It does not remember.

I still get that. When I have to log in again, my subscribed threads are all unread.

As others have said - I also check "remember me" when I log in EVERY TIME. And every single time I close my browser (even if I reopen it ten seconds later) I'm logged out of the forums again.

It is getting annoying when I check the latest posts on a subscribed thread - if I forget to sign in, no more emails for me until I sign in again so it'll send me updates again. This means on occasion I miss several days worth of posts getting emailed/updated on a thread.

But yes - every time I close Chrome (or IE when I've tried to see if it is browser specific), must log in again on the forums next time. When I leave the browser open, I stay logged in (but not sure how long because I loathe leaving my browser open any longer than necessary)

Same. Using the latest Firefox here.

Echoing others, I have not been randomly kicked out while posting or switching between threads for some time now, but I do have to relog in every day, sometimes several times a day.

The fix is supposed to set it to 14 days? Well that's better than the "every time I visit the forum" which I have currently, but why does the cookie have to expire at all?


 

Posted

recently, I've noticed the login bug has abated somewhat... I've only had to log once every day which is consistent with the 24 hour thing.

The last couple of days I've remained logged in though - which is refreshing and could coincidentally be connected to the back end work that's borked the width?

From where I'm sitting the borkedness (is that even a word?) is minimal and quite liveable with - though I'm on Firefox 6 and I've not checked it on other browsers.

Are you serious? I get logged out every couple of hours, TOPS. Sometimes I get logged out as soon as I log in. I get the successful login message with the note that I am being redirected as normal but sometimes I am considered logged out again as soon as the forum redirects. It only happens maybe 5% of the time. But in no cases, ever, do I stay logged in more than an hour or two. It is irritating. I am shocked it isnt happening to the employees unless their accounts have different values set in their cookies.
