Staying logged in.

Post by Smithy »

I have had a comment from a user that they don't stay logged in even when the click the "keep me logged in box"

They say they have deleted their cookie but it is still doing it.

I need to know if anyone else has any issues or if it is isolated?

It works fine for me, I stay logged in all the time but I use a browser called Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

Okay it appears the problem wasn't isolated.

However the good news is I have fixed it :D

If any one still has problems you will need to delete your existing cookie for this site.

This can be done in Internet Explorer by

a) By deleting all your cookies - Go to tools - options - delete cookies. (Be warned you will need to log into all sites again)

or for the more advanced member, which will avoid losing all your cookies.

b) Go to your Internet Explorer cookie file. In Windows XP this can be found here C:\Documents and Settings\Your Profile\Cookies (replace your profile with what ever you are called on WinXP, in my case I am called Lindsey.)

The cookie you are looking for will look like this

yourwinxpprofilename@org.uk.txt or yourwinxpprofilename@rover200.org.uk.txt

delete both variants.

Then log onto the forums again and all should be fixed.

I do apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused people.
