Every time that I visit the forum today I have to log in afresh, even though I log in "for keeps" each time. :-?
Anyone else had similar problems?
-
No not me Nick. ;)
-
Nor me.

Yep, every time I restart my browser OOF welcomes me as a Guest and invites me to log in or register. On the log in, my user name and P/W are already there (inserted by Firefox), so I just have to press the log in button and away we go. Bit of a pain, though.

I'm using IE, don't know if that makes a difference.

Never had a problem until today, AA, so I doubt that it's a Firefox issue, though it could be.
-
I am using Firefox, but still no problems. ;)
-
No problems here. :y

Still got the same problem. I see that omegaowners.com is storing 3 cookies in Firefox. Is that a problem?

I Have the same :-/
3 cookies but no problem
have you tried daft things like rebookmarking after login?
deleting cookies?
reboot etc?

Thanks, Jimbob.
Tried re-bookmarking, but the problem remains.
I'll try the other suggestions later as I need to pop out now. :y

Its your stoopid gay browser being stoopid and gay.
Nuke the cookies, all will be happy in the world again.
And, remember, storing userids and p/w automatically in the browser is a BAD BAD BAD idea - irrelevent for OOF (unless you happen to use same p/w for other more important things, which would be very very very very very very BAD!!) as its unimportant.

Nuked the cookies. Signed in and the cookies came back. Signed out, closed browser restarted browser, bingo, I'm back as a bl**dy guest again. Grrrr.. >:( >:(

I took advice and tried a few things, just live with it now :)
-
Do you run Firefox. If so, what version?
-
No
-

all fine on 3.0.8 (and all previous for that matter ;D )
-
No
Then it doesn't seem to be a problem with my "gay" browser (as TB calls it!). ;D ;D

OK, so I've been doing some fiddling around. If I tell Firefox not to accept cookies, it won't let me sign in to OOF. If I tell it to allow cookies until they expire, it lets me in and OOF gives me 3 cookies, but when I close Firefox and restart, the cookies have disappeared and I'm back to the "Welcome Guest" bit.
All this happened today, it has always been fine before (although I occasionally had the problem after the forum had been down for maintenance.
I'm stumped on this. :-[
Any ideas, anyone?

If you log out from OOF (by clicking Logout), cookies get nuked.
If you close the browser, if the cookies go, thats your gay browser The browser controls the cookies.

Begrudgingly, TB, I have to say that you were right. The problem lay in a corrupted "cookies.sqlite" file in Mozilla. I got rid of it and restarted Firefox and it recreated the file and all seems to be well again.
And it's still NOT gay! ;) ;D ;D
