What Happened to Auto Login at DigitalPoint?

I don't remember ever having to log in at DP.
It is controlled by a DP cookie, right?
But, for the last few weeks, I notice that I had to log in to make a post.

I have been using Firefox 1.5.0.11 the entire time. ALL versions of FF 2.0 for the Mac have functionality problems - frequent random freeze-ups are #1, followed by text forms and scroll buttons.

Does anyone know why the "automatic cookie login" doesn't work for me anymore? I am always careful not to delete any cookies from DP.

Thanks for your help.

 

I think the cookies eventually expire, maybe they lasted a year or so...

 

Hi Colleen,

I logged in a day or so ago, so that should have set a new cookie, right?
Today, I had to log in manually again to post, so . . . ?

 

have you checked the remember me box top right as you login? thats what keeps you logged in

 

Wow!
Replys from TWO heavy hitters.

Hi Samantha,
Uhhhh, maybe not. I feel silly now. I'll go make sure now.

<edit>I'm back. THIS time I DID check the "Remember Me" box (I didn't before, thank you).
Then I logged out, and I got the message "All cookies cleared".
When I returned, I was not "remembered", and had to log in again.

Perhaps, I am not supposed to "Log Out"? Could this be it?

 

I figured he'd have known that lol... Samantha is probably right... I hit hard.

 

My "heavy hitter" comment was meant as a compliment. I sure didn't mean anything else.

Maybe I should have said "highly respected posters", or "knowledgable members", or something of that sort. That's what I meant.

 

if you log out you clear the cookie, so dont log out and you'll never have to log in

she leaves red hand marks on your bum but i like it so it's cool when she does it to me

 

OK.
Logged in again.
Posted again.
Did NOT log out.
Quit Firefox.
Started Firefox again.
Opened DP bookmark.
Once again, I was not logged in.
However, I was recognized at the bottom in the "Currently Viewing This Thread" section. So, DP knows I am here, but did not log me in.

The problem persists. Weird. Haven't seen this problem in years of posting.

 

try and clear all private data from FF history cache and all the other crap. then try

 

Oh i am so sorry, i was sooooo muuuch hungggrie that i ate the coookies dp was sending out, so maybe thats why autologin does not work, but look on the bright side, i am now extremely fullz !!!!

 

Samantha,
Cleared everything, still no cigar. Thanks for your help.

Looks like paidhosting got it right, with his very helpful comment. I'm done here.

 

Burp!! aah that felt good now i need more cookies
