• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Cookies broken??

I'm no longer logging in automatically when I hit the Forums. I've done the kill-the-cookie thing and the rest of the basic troubleshooting techniques.

Is it just me?

EDIT: XP w/sp1 and IE6.0.2. Updates are current.
 
Quite frankly it has NEVER worked for me...... Dunno.
 
I've had some problems with sessions not persisting properly but closing the browser completely and then re-loging into the [H] seemed to fix it.

Tested on: Necscape 6, Firefox 0.9, and IE 6.0

Weird. I've had no issue with this pretty much since the Forums came back up. As of this evening, err, morning, though...

I'll keep picking at it and report back with any pertinent info.

ADDENDUM:
Ok, I scanned for mal-ware, deleted/recreated this bookmark, reset web settings in IE, and deleted cookies (again). Followed that with a DNS flush and persistent sessions appear to be working again.

Maybe some un-detectable BHO? Dunno, but I'll sound off if it happens again or if any good info surfaces.
 
You are not the only one. Starting today, seems my cookies die out within 20 minutes for this site. All other vB boards work just fine.
 
yeah cookies arent working for me either today. kind of annoying to have to log on everytime i come to the site
 
come back cookies!

had been working fine since forums came back up until I checked just now.

even when I checked ~2 hours ago it worked fine.

IE 6.etc
 
Ok, after a nice nap (for the PC and me) everything's still working. Can I get a, "Hallelujia!" brother!?!

See my above post for the "steps" I used (more like a shotgun approach, actually).
 
Maybe one day this forum will run smoothly....but if 2 months of downtime can't do it I doubt anything will.
 
dont know what the issue is for me but I wont keep me logged in I can log in and try to post/pm and it will ask for my user/pass
if i close IE and open it back up im logged out
 
If I'm understanding what your issue is, I'm not having a problem at all with either hardforum.com or hardforums.com (I always go to the former, though). When I go to the page, I'm already logged in, and can hit the CP without being prompted for my username and password.

XP SP1, and Mozilla FireFox 0.8.
