I Have to Log In Everytime I visit Aquarium Advice......why?

[zenkatydid]

this has also been happening to me since the default style change. there is no 'remember me' option that i see. i have changed my style to a different one, but whenever the site loads i am logged out and the default style is loaded.

as someone else said, i also feel this is something on your end - i have not changed anything here. i use firefox 1.5.0.8.

Have you deleted your cookies and then relogged in, telling the site to remember you?

In the graphite style, apparently on there is no check box to remember your log in, but there is on the home page.

There is NO box for 'remember me' on the page that I log in on. I just logged on before posting this, and I'm here to tell you that there was no box there. I deliberately looked for one since fishfreek mentioned it in a previous post on this thread.
I'm not here to argue about who or what's at fault. I just found it strange that I have to log in repeatedly.
If I leave the site and visit another site and then come back I can usually stay logged on, but if I let an hour or so pass between visits I always have to log on again.
I will check the cookies and delete any for this site and see if there is a change.

Yeah, I saw that with the graphite style before you posted, the screen shot is from the log in box on the home page in the upper right corner. I haven't looked to see if it is style specific that there isn't a "remember me" option on the www.aquariumadvice.com/login.php but it is obviously possible, as I didn't expect it in the graphite style either.

Let us know if the cookies works out for you and check the date (make sure the year is correct also) on your machine. We will work with you to get to the bottom of this, but we need feed back.

OK, I just deleted the only cookie I had and restarted my computer and then came back to the site and had to log in again.
When I click on Aquarium Advice in my favorites it's set to take me to the Planted Tank forum. When I arrive there I'm not logged on because it says 'log on'. When I click on that it takes me to a page where there is only a place for 'user name' and 'password'. There is no box below password saying remember me.
As I said I visit multiple forums and this is the only one I have this issue with.

OK, well maybe we are getting somewhere. I have added the check box t the standard login page ie; www.aquariumadvice.com/login.php hopefully between that and the cookie deletion that will take care of the issue.

[djlen3]

Well, that seems to have done it.
I logged in, then restarted the computer and re-visited and I'm still logged in.
Nice work.
I will tell you if I have any further issues, but it looks good at this point.

Cool, glad it's working for you now.

do you have to do anything special to make the sit remember you with IE 7?

it is not just this forum, but all forum that will not remember me anymore...computer just auto updated me to IE 7 today

[reefrunner69]

Since it's a different browser...I would start by deleting all my cookies and then relogging in. That might clear it up, if it doesn't most likely it's a security/privacy setting that needs to be changed in IE7.
