Users logged out after logging in

[powerboat.ie]

Hi,

I have a problem on my boating forum www.powerboat.ie/forums .

It only seems to occur with Internet explorer.

When I log in as a user to the forums with my username and password, and I have the "remember me " box ticked, I am logged in which allows me to access all forums as a registered user.

After a few minutes thosugh when I refresh or move to a new forum page I find I have been logged out without my knowledge. It seems to be an erratic fault and it is also being reported by some of my forum users. It seems to be a recent problem.

It doesn't happen with Fire Fox.

Any ideas or advice for me (a non technical person)?

Cheers in advance!

Stuart

I am having the exact same problem. In short this is what happens...

When I log into my forum. I get the "Thank you for logging in, username." screen, and then it redirects me to the forum home. Problem is, I am on the forum home, not logged in.

I have had this happen before and I don't recall what the remedy was. Any ideas?

Most likely cookie-related. If some people can login try having the people with problems clear all cookies and try again. If this doesn't resolve there issue in the initial download for vB there's a utilities (or tools, can't remember) directory. Follow the instructions for installing that stuff then use that utility to reset your cookie settings.

Out of curiosity, in your admin CP what are your Session Timeout /
Path to Save Cookies / Cookie Domain settings?

What is your cookie domain set to?

If you set it to www.domain.com, individuals who log in via domain.com will have cookie issues.

Set the cookie domain to .domain.com
