Automatic sign in

Post by Tiger 1 » Mon Apr 14, 2014 7:45 pm

Good evening Mods and Fcers

Your help would be much appreciated with my problem.... Every time I log in I also enter a tick in the box for the automatic log in but the next time I log on it hasn`t worked.

Would this be something that the mods could help with or is it something I would need to adjust on my PC.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Try clicking the save password box when prompted Bro as it's your PC that needs to remember the password too ;)

It should ask you if you want to remember your password via your PC

Not required. FC, and CA, log me out every time I close my browser, regardless of which computer or phone I'm using - has done for a while.

That seems odd, not something that i have experienced and automatic logins have been working fine for me on multiple machines. I would assume this is some form of issue relating to use/storage of cookies within your browser.

What browser are you using?

Hi Zymurgy661

That would be Internet Explorer. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Will look into over the next couple off days (am away at the moment). A quick look on the board settings suggests its all configured correctly

Latest beta of 3.1 came out a couple of weeks ago. I don't use betas on my bulletin boards but haven't noticed an issue being raised about persistent logins.

For security I'd recommend people don't use persistent logins anyway ;-)
