Auto login not working

[Dan Woodland]

Is anyone else having trouble with the CRC page not logging you in automatically? I have no trouble on othe sites..... Thanks in advance for any help. Dan

[maddog10]

No problems here and that is the kind of stuff that always happens to me!

[Lisachromis]

Nope, works for me!

Woody,

I am having that problem too, you are not alone!! I used to not have to log on, but lately I do, despite clicking the log me on auto button everytime. I think it has something to do with your cookies, but I am not sure??

as a sugestion, wipe the cookies, generally this fixes most forum problems. plus you tend to accumalate these quite quickly, so i myself to a weekly cull and remove 90% of them, and the moment any problems come up i delete the appropriate cookie.

also if your not allready, get an allternate web browser such as firefox (ie not IE, because that has several bugs that cause certain functions not to work,)

[Pam Chin]

Okay, thanks, I thought it might have something to do with cookies, but help me out here, where are my cookies at. Where can I find them to delete them. I am using an Mac with safari as a browser.

Dan, you know where your cookies are??

Thanks!!
Pam

Pam, on the main site of the forum way below you will find a link that says "delete your cookies". I'd try that.

Otherwise you go to the preferences of Safari and in the tab "Security" click on "Show cookies". There you can delete either all of them or just the ones specificly for this site.

CHeers, ,m

Having the same problem & it's not the cookies. (deleted automatically) It's not critical, just a time saver.

If you're referring to my computer cookies, yes, if you're referring to my "other cookies" no! I haven’t had them for along time!

I’m sure it’s not a cookies issue. I just completed a massive rebuild of my PC from scratch following a hard drive failure which was preceded by a failure to make a preemptive strike and replace it before it crashed.

It must be something with our PC’s as it works fine at work.

I've got this problem too, but its ok on other sites. I'll have a look at the cookies but I'm pretty sure its not them.

[maddog10]

Everything has been fine for me on all the forums I visit EXCEPT the ACA forum. I can not even get to that site anymore, computer keeps saying "searching".

8) Having the same problem & it's not the cookies. (deleted automatically) It's not critical, just a time saver.

when you say deleted automatically, when. if its every time you shut the browser down (as is an option with firefox) then it removes the cookie that would otherwise log you in. so the auto login may be working for you, but due to the cookie being deleted it cannot tell you are the person coming back. (as a general rule of thumb, it cant work by using you IP, as IP's generally are assigned dynamically,)

think of cookies as a sign saying i am me, and occasionally the sign gets broken, causing problems (best analogy i could think of)

NO, no. I'm aware of that. This is set for every 7 days but if I close now & return I'll have to sign in again here but not so on any of my other sites w/ auto sign? (yes the box is chked) Puzzling but nothing to lose sleep over. "T"

Okay, the only difference for me between my home office PC and work PC is I have IE 7 at home. I'm able to login automatically at work but not at home. I'll look through IE 7 options to see if it's a problem.

[Bas Pels]

I recently upgraded to IE 7, and I did not even have upgrading poroblems

[Pam Chin]

Well I deleted all my cookies, and then I was prompted to log in on all the sites I go to. Tonight I am auto logging in on all of them but CRC?? So it must be something else??? It is not a big issue, I just thought there might be an easy fix.

Thanks!

[Davel]

Has anyone solved this yet because it's happening to me too!

[maddog10]

I jinxed myself! Got a new computer and now I can not Auto-Login either.

[sidguppy]

old topic, but I have exactly this problem;
the cookie dies a sorry lonely death somewhere.

I can mark it, save it, store it; unfortunately it won't keep.
all the other forums of wich one runs on the very same software -www.tanganyika.nl- don't have this problem

I keep my PC clean and it runs quite well.

Here's an odd turn of events. I am an Ohio Cichlid Association (OCA) member and we have a "forum" built into the CRC. We placed a link on our web page to the OCA section for our members to use. If I click on that link I am automatically logged into the CRC but I still have trouble if I try logging in directly to the CRC.

Additionally, if I log into the CRC and check the "keep me logged in" box I and able to go to the CRC catalog and return to the forum and remain logged in.
