It's not a major drama (first world problems and all) ... just thought I'd let you know.

Hi Gail, thanks for letting us know. We're truly stumped with this one. While it seems to work for most, it intermittently resolves/breaks for others, seemingly independent of what we try. I'm hoping it returns for you until we can come across a fix

Something odd is happening with my log in this week, it says I'm logged in at the top right (on the green bit) yet I'm not actually logged into the forum itself?

Yeah... that has happened to me a few times as well. I usually just "log out" and then log in again and it fixes it.

Annoying though...

It's working ok for me on Mac/Safari.

Bridie - have you tried clearing your cache, closing your browser and restarting? Just a thought.

Hi Bridie,
Sorry you're having problems here it's one that rears it's head from time to time. The The problem stems from us integrating two separate systems with one login - the forum (vbulletin) and the site itself. In this case the site is 'remembering' you but the forum isn't If logging out and in doesn't resolve it (and click the remember me box) then one other fix that generally works is to clear cookies as suggested. I know that can be annoying too!
Hope that helps and if you have further issues feel free to PM me and I can investigate your setup further.
Cheers

FWIW I haven't needed to keep logging in now when I revisit.

Having this problem again...

Hmmm. We're not aware that's it back...but we'll investigate. Sorry it's being problematic for you.

This maybe unrelated, but I was having a number of login issues, and resolved them by turning off Last Pass. This is the only site I've ever had to do it with. It looks seems like LastPass was trying to login to the site, even though I was already logged in.

I notice you have the login form on the HTML which is being hidden by the CSS when a user is logged in. I'm assuming Last Pass was just filling the form in and auto submitting - Lat Pass almost certainly ignores CSS.

I'd try server side not inserting the form into the page if the requestee has a valid session, or removing the form via JS when the page loads if the user has a valid cookie.

No idea if this is related to other people's issues though...

Hope this helps.
