having dramas. every time I come to the site I have to log in instead of it remembering me. I'm running vista, is that the drama or do I need to change something in my settings?

there are a few issues but its on the 'to do list'. The guy who looks after these things has family priorities at the moment from what i hear, so it may be a few weeks until its resolved.

Nope Vista's not the drama because I have XP and have the same issue. It's been this way for a while.

Hi

I'm running XP with Opera, it remembers me most times.

Not only do I have to log in every time but it also forgets me when I have been on here for a while so I have to log in again. I use Vista and IE8.

I've moved this thread to the top so that people can see that this is being worked on, and so we don't have multiple threads too.

I have the same issue, using Firefox 3 on both XP and Ubuntu. Not a big deal, just FYI.

Hi

I had new setup on my PC and started using Opera as a browser, it has a very easy to use button called magic wand that fills in the password for remembered sites, no typing just a click.

I have to log in every time I enter the forum, but it does have one side effect that is good.

I can now remember the weird chain of letters and numbers that is my password.

Thanks for that.

Pete,

It's because the software is setting a session cookie. I can't seem to get it to set a proper cookie for some reason. It affects me too.

thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Forgive the bleeding obviousness of the following, but I'm no PHP expert...
1. You're using setcookie(), not session_set_cookie(), right?
2. You're setting the $expire value specifically, e.g. setcookie("TestCookie", $value, time()+3600); /* expire in 1 hour */?
3. You've remembered that setcookie() must be called *before* any other output, i.e. before even ?
