Log in?

[meet the fudger]

When I logged into the forums today, (I have it set to "remember me"), I had to type my username and PW!! :confused:

Is this because of the new forum changes or what?

[Kreator]

Most likely. The forums probably reboot when they get upgraded/worked on so, it auto logs you out.

[zzzaacckk]

all the cookies were reset hence you had to log in... boo hoo...

[EmelGreenLeafer]

the forums look different now too.

[Forest_Archer]

Forum changes? What?

[zzzaacckk]

a few changes... red triangle = gone, better quoting system... popups for rep... and probably a few other hiden things.

They still have the hidden "more" for smilies :P

This stinks caus of the change it was set to remember me too but it had been so long w/o logging in that I forgot my pass :( and my e-mail adress was old too so I forgot my pass for that too now there is no way to get back to my account.

[!Diamond!]

I really don't think this was worth a thread. :dry:

And also theres new frames around the posts, the changes are cool.

It also tells you how full your PM box is full percentagewise. Mine is always in the 90's.

[|ReNeGaDe|]

Holy shit you had to type your password and name :(.. MAN i feel sorry for you.

No no, certain people such as fudgers and myself need to log in everytime. Every 5 minutes of inactivity. It gets annoying - if I read a page too long it logs me out. I'm guessing I just need to restart my computer to fix this, which I haven't gotten around to, but even still it's a bug.

[EatMine]

I think it is the intended behaviour.
I also don't use "Remember me", so that the bbUserId and bbpassword cookies are not set. And 15 minutes of "inactivity" then simply means that your session is invalid. After all, the web server can't save every temporary sessions forever.

Never tried it with "remember me", but if you use this and still get kicked after 15min, then yes, sounds like something is not working correct.

You also might have your computer security set to not store cookies from TAO. You can tweak individual site settings to allow TAO to store cookies more effectively.

Remember me simply stores the cookie for whatever length of time your browser/computer is set to store that type of cookies for.

It totally does this to me!:crybaby:

[uniquinous]

ack restarting doesn't help. Oh Noes! Meh, oh well. I'll ask serg.

[EatMine]

If you check your cookies for tacticsarena.com, there should be the following:

bblastactivity
bbsessionhash
bbthread_lastview
bblastvisit
and additionally, if you use "Remember Me"
bbuserid
bbpassword

Do you have the last two?

[uniquinous]

nope - how do i acquire them? :huh:

[EatMine]

well, ok, that's the problem. Without those two cookies the forum can't identify you permanently.

You probably don't have any cookies set by tacticsarena.com, right?

The way to allow them depends on the used browser. Check this (http://www.google.com/cookies.html) for a quick instruction. I'd suggest though, to not allow them in general, but only allow them for specific sites, e.g. tacticsarena.com

[uniquinous]

it... seems to have resolved itself... at least temporarily...

strange

EDIT: nevermind :(

[uniquinous]

sorry for the double, but the people who are affected need to see this:
clear your cookies - all will be well. :)

[Jeffery]

I would prefer if they threw their comps out a window.

[uniquinous]

i actually learned not to long ago that there is actually a word that means "throw out a window": defenstrate

I find this highly amusing. I'm am thinking I might defenestrate my dog...

[plusminus]

Defenestration was listed in some old thread as being Aro23r's favourite word.

No, it's not weird that I remember this..

[EatMine]

i actually learned not to long ago that there is actually a word that means "throw out a window": defenstratemaybe some other day you learn the correct spelling too :bigsmile:
Or you could ask plusminus ...

[Mr.Wister]

It's done it to me twice already...I've had my thing set to remember me..

[uniquinous]

maybe some other day you learn the correct spelling too :bigsmile:
Or you could ask plusminus ...

yeah that would be helpful when trying to teach a word - woops
