Bug in version 3.5 RC3 (users get logged out unexpectedly)

[Brad]

I've been seeing people hitting this bug all day so I thought it would be a good idea to post an announcement related to it.

Basicly people are begin logged out of the forum at random times, personaly I've only hit the bug once but others seem to get it all the time.

Freddie posted this fix here

Open class_core.php

Find:

PHP Code:

vbsetcookie('sessionhash', $sessionhash, 0); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (!defined('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE'))
 {
     vbsetcookie('sessionhash', $sessionhash, 0);
 }

Thanks for the pointer, Brad.

None of my users had reported anything, but I've fixed the mentioned file anyway.

Users from vbfans reported this, so I have fixed it

[bigcurt]

As I recall - it's only a problem if you don't use "remember me" isn't it.

And it seems to happen more often if you are also logged into ACP and using FF. But that might be coincidence.

I was starting to wonder why I had to login so many times in 20 minutes.

RC3 seems to be bug-full... First it was the "Members Viewing This Thread" and now it's this? Wow, maybe RC3 won't be the last RC of 3.5. At least RC1 and RC2 didn't have bugs that were this conspicuous...

Well, it doesn't happen on my forum. But I applied the fix anyway.
