Autologin function
When we login to this board, there is a box to check for "autologin". Even though I check it, I still have to login manually each time. Do one of you Admins know why that is?

Re: Autologin function
It is an issue we never managed to fix. Well, actually we did, but then something else didn't work. We are setting up the forum from scratch now and hopefully it will then work again.

Re: Autologin function
It seems to work for me *if* I use a bookmark that takes me directly to: https://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/
If I go to the home page and then go into the forum, it seems to lose my login and I have to re-enter it. YMMV.

Re: Autologin function
I just tested Chris' experience. Not the case here. My login is retained irrespective of how I access the website or its landing pages.Chris wrote:It seems to work for me *if* I use a bookmark that takes me directly to: https://www.diamondaviators.net/forum/ If I go to the home page and then go into the forum, it seems to lose my login and I have to re-enter it.

Re: Autologin function

Re: Autologin function
The Autologin seems to be an ongoing issue but I have hope we will soon find the error. It is inherent to phpBB software and the developpers have added a function to manage the "Remember me" keys how they call it. If you click on [Control Panel] on top of this page, then [Profile] then [Manage "Remember me" login keys] you will find a list of keys created to remember you on a certain computer.
So far the theory. This showed me that I had a lot of these keys on all kinds of devices. I logged out from DAN on my laptop and phone and deleted all keys except for the one I am on right now.

Re: Autologin function
Today, I discovered some browser differences. Chrome tended to drop my login information. FireFox tended to retain it. Conditions were standardized: saved login info at both levels (browser & "Remember Me" on phpBB).
It is all manageable. Just not quite as smoothly integrated yet.
