Bug - vBulletin.org Login Issue
 

This site is not saving login cookies. I have to login every time I visit the site. I've cleared the browser cache and cookies and used a different browser. The Save checkbox is not working.

In fact, I received the following error trying to post this.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Same here!

Worked fine for a while but now I'm getting the same issue, it's no longer keeping me logged in.

I've reported this in a JIRA so the devs will check it out.

It would be nice if they got on it, this little bug is getting annoying.

Yes it is annoying, even after 2 months this is not fixed.

Same here.:erm:

Repair the site, please, it used to be more comfortable.

Worked for me but since I deleted the cache I always got logged out :-(

Same issue after deleting browser cache.

Update/Info:
Not realising I was logged out when trying to view an attachment I noticed the "You are not logged in / don't have permission" pages with login forms do seem to have saved username and passwords pre-filled, if that helps any to getting this annoying bug fixed.

Bumpity bumpity bump

This may be an incompatibility with recent browser updates, I guess.

Please fix this someone! Bumping this thread!

I think they either don't care or don't know how!!!

It truly is a shame that it's taking this long. No doubt that this also contributes to the decreasing activity of the forum.

In all fairness there are a small number of developers with a lot on their plates with vBulletin 5. Undoubtedly, this is not a priority.

Having said that it is a bit of a pain in the ass having to login every time I visit this site.

That company dont care about this site, just like they abandoned vb3 & vb4 customers, by not updating them to support later php versions.

I've converted a lot of my customers to xenforo & others for that simple reason.

The company is a joke anymore & the login issue has been going on for months.

They have no excuse for it, dont make excuses for em.

Well I do understand that they don't support older versions anymore, all software has an end-of-life date after which it's just not worth the effort anymore to keep it up-to-date. This is extremely common among all (website) software.

Eventually PHP will keep making more (drastic) changes that might require a big rewrite of the codebase of older vBulletin versions.

Regardless, the community will most likely provide unofficial patches to keep vBulletin 3/4 working on newer PHP versions.

They basically said F U all even before they released 5, when it came to anything for 3 or 4.

Just like this site, which they abandoned.

Yes, nuff said.

Just to say: me too.

I thought the problem was in my browser, so everyone had the same problem

I also encountered this situation

The same problem continues

Could you check with the devs and see if they ever intend on looking at the problem?

I have the same problem, I was indicate in this sub-forum in this thread
Isn't by browser or o.s.
I try in firefox, chrome, chromium, opera, vivaldi, with kubuntu 18.04 and 20.04, always that I go here, I need login.

Regards.

I did that once a couple of weeks ago or so. It has been looked at and put in some sort of priority list as far as I can tell. I will check in again.

I just had to log in again

Yes the problem is that the forum is not retaining cookies so it logs us out fairly quickly. You could try adding
ExpiresActive Off
to the .htaccess

More problematic is that all of our embedded imgur images from the past have been replaced with some sort of vbulletin.org URL that is trying host them, but failing.

8 Months since first reported and this huge issue is still not fixed, if I was a new customer looking at vbulletin it wouldn't give me much confidence in the competency of the developers or company.

Yup & why i have moved all my customers away from vb since the last few yrs.

As ive said in this post already, they dont give a shit about anyone, unless they are on vb 5.s.h.i.t. version, you simply dont matter to them.

If you were a new customer you wouldn't be looking at a sixteen year old product and expecting it to be kept up to date. vBulletin 4 is ten years old. At some point it becomes unreasonable to expect developers to continue to update a product.

Having said that, because this is their own site they should either fix the issue or move the site to their newer software. Because the latter would be a nightmare the former seems like the only viable solution.

I'd also add that this site is pretty much useless for the vBulletin 5 product so it's a courtesy on their part to keep it active for users of their older products.

It's still a pain in the ass to have to login every time you visit the site.

May be they put this in the "Recycle Bin" :rolleyes:

Auto-Closed.

WHAT?!?! I have one of those sense of humors, I know nothing of the current status :p.

Over a year, and they still haven't bothered to fix the login issue.

Very, very poor.
