this is what I do:
1 forum top right, login.
2 get a pop-up screen. Login (username and password) and checkbox for each visit checked.
3 then nothing still have login on the top right instead of username.I'm using firefox.

on a more serious note:
I too have issues where the forum forgets (ie. opposite of remember me) my login, all other boards / forum work normal, just here on Sketchucation I have to login fresh (with remember me) from time to time. It's very definately not a setting on my machine as I've experienced it on various machines, both Mac and PC. -
@juju: We will investigate and fix it if necessary.
-
When I press reply (or new subject). I get redirected to a another login screen (not the pop-up login) there I can login and is working. But here's the thing, when I check automaticly each visit and come back later that day, there the same problem I'm not logged in.

@juju: I've checked the "remember me" function and it is working for me. Are you sure your browser is not set to erase cookies when you close it?
@highlander: If you try to reply to a post when you're not logged in then you're re-directed to the login page. About the not logged in status: Did you check the "Remember me" checkbox? Are you sure that your browser is not set to erase cookies on closing it?

Hi Gabor, it does not happen all the time, only from time to time. If my browser was set to delete cookies at the end of browsing sessions I would have problems with other message boards / forums, not so?

yes did check the 'remember me' box.

Yes because other forums or login does 'remember me'.
-
speaking of logins - would there be any way to make the store and the forum use the same cookies? If I go from forum to the store, it asks for my login, even though I'm already logged with the same user and pass in the forum. May be a technical reason why this has to be, but this thread made me think of it again.

Did you just kick us all out, I had to login for the first time in ages just now.

@andybot: The sketchUcation site uses 2 engines: PhpBB for the forums and Joomla for all the other content including the shop. These two systems are using their own session and authentication system what are bridged together so you have to register only at one system and you have to log in only to one of the systems and then you're logged in to both.
For performance reasons the session timeout (the time while the system keeps you logged in after your last activity) is set to 60 minutes. If in any of the systems the inactivity exceeds that time, that system will log you out. That is what is happening when after a long-term activity in the forums you go to the shop and you find yourself logged out. So it is the nature of this kind of bridged system we have. There might be a way to let one system know about the activity in the other but that requires a deeper intervention in the authentication systems. Maybe one day with the next version of the site we will make it.
@highlander, @juju: I could reproduce the phenomena with the forum part now. So if I use a direct link to the forums sometimes it won't remember me. Never happened if first I went to the main sketchucation site. Am I right that it is only happening with direct link to the forums? If yes, I'll try to fix it.
-
thanks for the explanation Gábor. I assumed it was a technical reason, and had been meaning to ask.
-
@highlander, @juju: I think the "Remember me" problem is fixed. At least I can not reproduce it again. If it occurs again, please let me know.

Thank you for the information. Did you log in from other machines during the weekend?
-
I did also have to log in again every time today on both PC and iPhone.
