No idea - but it's always been "iffy" for me (Have PM'd you a few times previously too), going back way before you changed things this time. However, I use enough different machines, connections and browsers that all seem to have the problem for me not to be looking at it as a client config issue, I'm afraid.

It's also the only forum that causes me hassle - and I'm a member of lots! On all the others, only doing a full clean with something like CCleaner will "lose" me the stored cookie or whatever that keeps me logged in...on Ausvarmint, it used to be every day or so, then changed to every session after the last fix.

It hasn't forced me to login this morning though, so I'll see when the problem next occurs, and if you want me to check anything when it does, let me know....

I never ever had a problem, until the "kjd" was dropped from the url, but I cleared cookies re-bookmarked etc & all was well.......until 5 minutes ago.
Have you tweaked anything today Keith ?, cos it was fine this morning. :?

Problem is back here too - almost every time I open a link to Ausvarmint, despite having previously ticked the auto-logon box, I'm presented with the logon box once again.

OK this is stupid but it is a potential fix..

instead of going to http://www.ausvarmint.com/forum go to http://www.ausvarmint.com/forum/ (NOTE THE LAST / AT THE END OF forum/) If I do that the board remembers me if I dont have that last / it does not.

OK With thanks to the great service provided by our hosting company Host Gator. I think we have nailed this.

I will reset the cookie name and if you click "Log me on automatically" on your next log in it should work if its fixed.
