Description Ben Stover

2010-10-14 04:11:01 EDT

Build Identifier: 

When I login into these forums I enabled the checkbox "remember my login".

However after exit, reboot and going to the forums the next day I am again forced to enter my loginname and password.

Why does the forum software not recognize my account data?

In which cookie is my login account info stored?

Does auto-relogin only work for certain combination of e.g. Firefox and linux?

I am (currently) using IntExp8+Win7

Ben

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

I think we're good. Forums have been very stable since changes we made a few years ago.
