michaelanglo Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks for getting the board to remember me across sessions.
Farelf Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Haven't changed browsers/browser settings/cookie management have you? Can't actually "see" the kind of changes that might change the board behaviour (no permissions at all in those areas) but I would anyway have to depreciate board change as a likely cause (and, like, good luck with Chrome, come what may). But of course possible. And your generous spirit is much appreciated
michaelanglo Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 The old Forum (before 30th September) used to remember me so I had to log in maybe once a year plus when they reset everything. The new reinstalled forum didn't do this until about a day before my post. I haven't changed anything.
turetzsr Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014        My experience has been pretty much the same as michaelanglo's, except that there were times before yesterday when I would have to log in just an hour (maybe two or three?) since my last access and sometimes I would be able to use the Forum on and off all day without having to log back in.
Lking Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 We seem to use the board differently. As a personal preference I explicitly log out each time I leave the board. Each time I return I am automatically logged back in. (Don't know why, I did not set that option.) The first week or so of the new board, the auto-login did not always work. I assumed the installation was being tweaked.I use the board in this manner for two reasons:1. Being old school and a bit of a security nerd I don't like leaving open log-in links laying around.2. I make use of the "new" post/members options when I return to the board to check all new activity.
turetzsr Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 <snip> 2. I make use of the "new" post/members options when I return to the board to check all new activity.        I, too, make use of the new posts option with "New Content" feature with options "By content type" = Forums" and "By time period" = "Content I have not read" and that combination seems unaffected by whether I get logged out or not,
Lking Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 I would guess the "Content I have not read" would do it. Depending on the member, I do not bother to read some of the abuse db corrections posted. Although it is useful info provided by other members, it is not something I use. Oh well, there are several ways a cat can loose its skin.
