Hello, in the past week i keep getting signed out when browsing the forums, sometimes i can go back n forth between many threads and on some days (like today) i have to sign in a lot of times just to be able to post 1 post, anyone else having this issue? this is the only site it happens on and it started sometime last week.
Thats what i thought as well, but i figured id ask if someone else is having the issue, seems like i haven't had a problem since i posted this thread oddly, but it seems quite random to be related to the browser/cookies, thought maybe there was some server instability or something, but i guess not
it has to have something to do with your browser and your cookies for sure.
I believe that some years ago we stopped using cookies to store auto-login data. Instead, it's all handled by databases and the server.
rofl. All logins are handled by the database and the server. Im not sure what your trying to say? Cookies are used to remember your login when you come back to the site at another time. [Sessions cant do this].
Plus im looking at the cookie right now =P

I know. I write such applications all the time. But the site should no longer use the cookies. It should store your IP address and do a lookup whenever a non-logged in user accesses a page, then auto-log you in based on a correlated boolean value assuming a match.
No need for the rofl :/ I certainly didn't laugh in your face.

Regardless of whether or not this is the case, this was discussed several years ago--a little bit after the ownership switch. This happened back when we still had vBulletin, but I guess the change didn't get carried over to the (more recent and what you'd be used to) IPBoard.

oh no no, that wasnt a rofl in your face kinda thing, please don't feel that way.
But these boards wouldn't (only) use ip to check if your "always logged in" as most of us dont have static Ips/and login from more than one location. And once your ip is released, another user grabs it, lots of people will end up with the same ip in the same area, so it would have no idea whos ip goes with who [more so in public access points]. You can't have it no use cookies and have it work correctly
