anonymous_user Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I cant seem to stay logged in for more than one day or two. Sometimes Ill go to the forum and Ill see the guest panel on the main page (meaning Im not logged in).This seemed to happen recently and my Firefox 3.0.3 is set to accept cookies from msfn.org. What could be wrong?And one more thing, Im not clearing my cookies and its only this forum. Edited October 12, 2008 by anonymous_user
Legolash2o Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I'm experiencing this problem too, i even had to log in to reply to this.
CoffeeFiend Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) And I thought it was just me... I think I had to login like three times just today. Edited October 13, 2008 by crahak
gamehead200 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 You guys are not alone. Happened to me too. Note, though, that MSFN just had its forum software upgraded.
xper Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 You guys are not alone. Happened to me too. Note, though, that MSFN just had its forum software upgraded. Yes, me too. Please be patient. We work on it.
fossey Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 IPB 2.3.5 will solve the issue of Logging in all the time.
fossey Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 ...What? Is the 5 a typo?The latest version of IPB is version 2.3.5 so it isn't a typo.
Tarun Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Sorry but that is incorrect and the forums are up-to-date.http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=277604I too am experiencing the logout issue.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1) Gecko/20081007 Firefox/3.1b1 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) - Build ID: 20081007144708
James_A Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 If Session Expiration is set (as it is on my board) then this behaviour is by design, as a security measure.See IPB Getting Started Guide for details.
GrofLuigi Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 And I thought it's my customized Opera config again. Poor thing - I blame it for all sort of stuff, and it's innocent. Opera doesn't even suggest "wand" password. It seems login info is stored/managed in cookies only.This is not security, it's paranoia. Please change it. GL
xper Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 This is not security, it's paranoia. Please change it. GLIt is not that and if it is we will not change it. Why MSFN never been hacked? What you think?Anyway, we run IPB v2.3.6

What you think?Anyway, we run IPB v2.3.6Paranoia in a sense that it doesn't trust the user (or his browser). My comment was directed to the authors of the software. It seems everybody is taking that route these days. Instead of securing a (comfortable) feature, they toss it away altogether.But you're the boss. GL Edited October 14, 2008 by GrofLuigi
cluberti Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 So, is session expiration set or is it not? It is a somewhat frustrating problem, because it'll happen whilst I am posting a response, say. I get an error that I'm not logged in, and I have to log back in and paste my response (I now know to copy and paste EVERYTHING before hitting "reply", just in case!).
xper Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Still issues with cookies? Still being logged out?
