Pope Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lately, I've been having some log-in problems. Even though my user name and password are stored in Firefox, I always need to log in. I also constantly find that after about an hour of being logged in, I automatically log out again. On top of that, sometimes logging in once is ineffective, and I need to do it again. Is this a general problem or is something wrong with my Firefox settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 it happened to me for about a day or two last week. generally speaking, if your ISP changes your IP #, you will need to re-login. it could just have been that the IPs were resetting often for whatever reason. not a problem the past few days for me at least. taks comrade taks... just because.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It sounds like your IP address might be changing, that could cause the issues you mentioned. "Geez.

Musopticon? Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Nowadays(when compared to say...two month ago), I have that problem as well. Though I do use a lot of different computers.

Guest The Architect Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah that's happened to me. I'll be typing a post or a comment, go to enter it then bam, I can't because I've been auto-logged out and I'm like "**** you!" But I'll live with it. If it happened regularly I'd PM the Green Dragon about it, but as it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 This seems to be an issue with a number of people's accounts, and has only started fairly recently. We're trying to gather as much information as we can to hand over to admin. If you're experiencing this problem, could you check and see if there's anything you can add to your report above, such as which browser you're using, when the problem started, how often it happens, and anything else that might be relevant?

Fionavar Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks to Steve for raising this. If people continue to have trouble - it would be most helpful to know browser, version, OS and anti-virus programme. As well, a cut & paste of any error would also be of benefit.

Musopticon? Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hmm, I need to log in from both my girlfriend's and my dad's computers each time, although both the Mozilla setting and the forum setting is set to "remember me". Dad's comp: Mozilla Firefox(newest) WinXP Home F-Secure(disabled, except application control) GF's comp: Same version of Firefox, I think Vista No security other than Vista native. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

taks Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 one day last week i had to re-login probably 4 times, and i assumed it was because my ip changed (we're dynamic, though normally it does not change but once a month). it may not have been a result of that because i have a buddy that has an ssh tunnel into our network and he did not have to change his ip that day. haven't had a problem since. several other times over the past year or so i have had an ip change, and my buddy also had to reset his ssh, which is why i posted the above comment. oh, as for the "error," there really isn't any that i see other than the guest screen when i come here. it still has the ****** in the password box as well as taks in the login box, so i simply hit the button and i'm back in. maybe the software is having cookie issues (i.e., they're expiring quickly)? taks comrade taks... just because.

walkerguy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Despite password being "remembered" by OE and Mozilla (which I now use ) I have to log again later once I disconnect from the internet. I don't "fall off" after an hour though. Twitter | @Insevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Do you have dynamically assigned IP addresses? I noticed that I need to log on everytime I switch IP address, not when doing it from the same address. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
