Frequently Having to Login?

Post by GeddyWrox »

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Over the last few months, it seems like there will be periods where I'm forced to log in again several times a day.

Just curious if it's related to my computer or something with the site itself.

Are you checking the box that says Remember Me?

Google Chrome, v 124.0.xxxx

I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with when I'm on my work network.

This is happening to me too. I use Safari on my iPad.

Interesting. You're the only other person I've heard of this happening to besides me. I have come to realize that, for me, it only happens when I'm at work. So I think they're doing something that removes the cookies or cache or something. Have you tried other devices and/or other internet connections?

I haven't. I don't think it's several times a day that I have to log in, but it's usually the first time every day that I do. It used to remember me for a long period of time, so I'm not sure what's happened. I'll try it on Chrome and see if it's any better.

Look in your saved passwords in Chrome or whatever browser you use to see if there is more than one entry for GWRB. If so, get rid of one or both and start over.

I verified that nothing has changed in the phpbb cookie settings. The site is a few versions behind though, so I may need to upgrade the site to adhere to some new cookie standards in browsers.
