Automatically log works?

[Guest]

The thing i wonder is if automatically log in really works as it should do beacuse sometimes when i go to this forums i have to log in again even thought i have automatically log on.
And it takes like 5 sec max to log in again but still..why dont it want to work some times?

What web browser you using?

Firefox.
Gave up IE a long time ago.
And sometimes it works and sometimes it dont.

for me it's almost always the same, when i click the little blue E i get to this wonderfull page and i'm already logged in. Though however every once in a while when i open up to many internet pages I sometimes don't auto log in. But that's only a minor thingie, nothing to worrie about.

I had troubles with this forum on firefox 2, manually deleted all the cookies related to it and it worked fine.

It usually throws me out if I hit this site while I'm at school, but not at home. No biggie though, my PW is short and sucky.....

Try clearing your cookies.

I also found that this can happen if you have accounts on several phpBB boards. I'm using phpBB for the Beltain Lords forums as well and I only seem to be able to stay logged in on one of the forums: Either TNGC or BL. Havent tried clearing the cookies though.

Automatic login is managed by a cookie.

Cookies are stored on the PC you're using at the time they're stored so if you login at home and set autologin, then login at school... the school PC has no idea. Setting autologin on public PCs (like school, work) is generally a bad idea anyway as other folks can use them.

Cookie storage is indexed by the domain name of the site from which the cookie originates so its impossible that logging into a PHPBB board on blahblah.com would effect your logins on yaddayadda.com.
