What's really crazy about this bug is how inconsistent it is!!

I'll probably still have to log in later today or tonight though.

In my day, we had to manually bake, write, and edit our cookies! Now get off my cyber-lawn!

Yes, my enthusiasm was short lived. Just had to log back in again Apparently no cookie fix until the postponed maintenance happens next week.

'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.

After changing it, you can protect the cookie from being changed (Set to read-only). I'll note that I've not been logged out yet.

Login bug went away for a few days, but now it's back with a vengeance. Was logged out when I came to the board this morning (well, afternoon), logged back in, went away for a couple hours, then came back to find myself logged out AGAIN.

Recommend: Killing vbulletin. Failing that, remove the Character Copy Tool from the forums to remove the need for the non-standard cookie.
Also, if someone told you that you had to take the forums down for four hours to fix the hero skin CSS, they are outright lying to you. A CSS file replacement can be done on a live site. Worse, seeing the villain skin's CSS is working, they only need to copy some of the villain skin's CSS to the hero skin CSS and re-upload the hero skin CSS file to the server.

Unless of course you don't have a test version of the site and you are fiddling about with the live one, playing 'what does this do' with the CSS.

I had to change both of these to 2079 to stay logged in now. The TS32e4e1 cookie is a non-standard cookie tied to the forums. It is likely needed to enable the Character Copy Tool. |

Since the change where I logged out every time I closed the browser, I had not been logged out otherwise. That meant I had not seen the spontaneous logout bug for weeks. Since sometime on Sunday I'm getting the spontaneous logout bug worse than I have had it ever. Every few hours at best I am logged out, even without closing the browser.
Worse, every time it logs me out, it reverts me to the hero skin. I prefer the hero skin, but it's broken right now.
This is incredibly frustrating.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Not just width which is bugged for me.
The go to last post icon/image is just a red x now.
And instead of the full/faded Hero star to signify if a fort have new posts or not i'm seeing some default icon thats either orange or not.
And getting logged out stupid often now ><

Since Sunday morning, even locking all 9 cookies doesn't seem to change things. I think they've messed around with their servers. Also, VBulletin embeds the user's IP Address, username, and password into the session cookies.|

But almost every case of vbulletin forgetting users is the direct result of modifying the VBulletin cookies with add-ons. You know like tying user accounts into the log in or making an add-on like the character copy tool.

The log in cookie is possibly still set to 24 hours, but we've talked to the appropriate parties about having this changed to 14 days.
