Zombie Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Can someone tell me why I no longer automatically log into the forum? I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.10 and cookies are enabled for this site.This is a bug which was reported to the IPS guys quite a while ago. So far it seems they can't reproduce it and thus a true "fix" doesn't exist. The problem is that there are so many darn settings/security features now that some are bound to interfere with each other. I have changed a board cookie setting so check to see if that fixes the problem. If not, there are a couple possible solutions we can try to keep the board secure and still let members stay logged in. Also be aware that your board cookie login key is only active for 7 days due to security issues (a hacker could hijack your login session and thus masquerade as yourself). Any longer than this is just asking for trouble. Like NKF, I would highly recommend upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. It is more secure and also handles today's more complex internet features. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Always recommended to keep your FireFox upgraded, current version is 2.0.0.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I just can't keep up with these upgrades! That's the curse of sticking adamantly to dial-up. Actually I might as well switch to using my new (and mostly unused) laptop for net browsing. That has a bleeding edge copy of Firefox on it, so shouldn't be an issue. Uh, ditto on the auto log-in. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorbicol Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Always recommended to keep your FireFox upgraded, current version is 2.0.0.2 THanks Guys. BTW I am up to date with the current version of Firefox 1, I just never upgraded to Firefox 2. Looks like I now have a reason for doing so though! EDIT: Upgrade to Firefox 2 has solved the problem. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Strange, I haven't had a chance to switch over yet (have to work out the logistics of moving all my stuff over), but the auto-login problem seems to have resolved itself. Curiouser and curiouser. Don't tell me someone's quietly gone and done something in the background eh? Own up! - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I must have had to change the cookie settings about four times during the upgrade, so maybe your browser is now using one the site likes. It's amazing how long these things get stored in the cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well, I made a few minor changes but that was a while back. I disabled a thing called the "stronghold" cookie as this was a new feature of the software and I wasn't sure if everyones computer would be able to handle it properly. I also made sure the cookie expiration was set to 7 days (IPS recommendation). Saved cookies (even on the board) would thus require a week to clear out of the system so most likely time fixed the problem as we are now 7 days since the changes were made. Patience is a virtue I guess. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I still seem to be getting the problem of FF not remembering my login, meaning I have to login each time I visit the forums. It also decided to log me out while going from the forum front page to this Announcements and Feedback section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 What FF version are you using and are you sure you deleted all Strategycore related cookies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 The latest version, 2.0.0.3.I did delete all the cookies relating to strategycore a few days ago and it still didn't work. However I've just done it again and it appears to be working at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uriaheep Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Exactly the same for me except deleting cookies has not worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It happened to me as well when I upgraded from 2.0.0.2 to 2.0.0.3, but now it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimli Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Not to be a spelling nazi or anything, but this sub-forum is titled "Announcements & Feeback". Note the missing d in Feedback. Just thought I'd point out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I thought that was a British spelling or something. Anyhow, it's fixed now. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorondor Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I've just noticed something minor on the boards: when you hover the mouse over a poster's nick the font change causes a not-so-elegant height change in the table row. Should be easy enough to fix, though, I think. :: p.s.: you can really 'rock the house' if you find a sweet spot with the mouse a little under the nick as it goes into 'auto-mode', continually switching back between the two sizes until you move the cursor away.
