View Full Version : mmmm cookies..
Is it just me or have the cookie session timeouts been changed to something horribly short on this site in recent weeks? It's kinda annoying to have to log in at every visit...

No issues here. Did you opt to have your comp lo you in for every visit or is someone else playing with your cookies?
Nothing has changed on cookies.
hmmm.. started happening about two or three weeks ago. None of my other usual haunts have the problem, so that's weird.

Auto login doesn't work for me either.

It hasn't been a problem for me at school where I log in and out regularly, and here at home. Hmm, not sure what to say. Do you guys check the box when you initially log in?

Yes, I just tried it again and nothing. No biggie for me, I'll just keep keying it in each time.
Yeah. Don't work for me either.. :(

Lots of people have been having misc ISP/routing issues lately though. That could have something to do with it. <shrug>
Even though I check "Log me on automatically each visit:" it dosen't seem to make a difference.
Perhaps for whatever reason this field isn't being updated by the server.
There isn't a server setting for keeping track of cookies, its all on your local machine. When you check the box, the next page will set a cookie called 'legacy' for the site you came in on. If you like, turn on authorize all cookies and check to see that it gets set. It will also have an expire time and other information. Depending on how your browser is configured, it may not be accepting cookies, or maybe not accepting cookies without a privacy policy. Feel free to also try other browsers.

Use Netscape.
Ok thanks. Firefox seemed to work no problem. I just don't get how it works fine for NASIOC but not here. I'll go through my settings with a fine tooth comb..
I dont see how people use IE..... tabbed browsing is the greatest thing since Mosaic 1.0!

Mozilla works perfectly for me.
It's :cry: to see people still using microsoftware. :roll:
I hope you compiled that reply on a linux box.
Personally, I don't judge software by who makes it, just by what sort of job it does (just like my cars), and IE is perfectly adequate (for the most part).
What about us mac users! :laugh:
Oh yes, that's true.. :)
Although I hear in a year or two linux desktop users will be surpassing Mac users..

Nah, I prefer Solaris even if that message was done in HP-UX.
And I judge software based on how well it works (or doesn't). I still have microsoft stuff at home for gaming and some word processing (everyone sends atachments in .doc or .xls).

I have the no-remember-who-I-am problem on one of my work computers. Every other computer I use is fine and all are using IE.
The cookie is corrupt or something.
I believe the solution is to find the legacysti.com cookie that exists on your computer and delete it. At least that's how I think I fixed it when this happened to me on Nasioc. I haven't got around to fixing the work computer yet so I'm not 100% positive that this is the solution.

Sweet!.. that worked.

Actually 25% of the posts here are by Macs, of course most of those are SUBE555. :lol:

Actually I personally only have 20.03% of the posts or content at this time on this board. So the few by Tide and a few other closet mac addicts must make up the rest 5%. 8)

I guess there is a strange setting on my dad's computer here, but I'm finding that if I don't do anything on the site for about 15 minutes, it logs me out. Strange.
