Login cookies

Hi Louise,
There's something else I noticed with the new forum site.
Users' login credentials are not being retained (usually done via login cookies).
I noticed when I login, it's good for that session only.
As soon as I exit the forum site, I'm forced to log back in as soon as I return, if I wish to make any new posts, or edit existing posts of mine.
It seems that login cookies are not being generated, or if they are, are set to be deleted once exiting the site.
That may be a new, intended security feature - not sure though.
This was occurring on both Mac and Windows platforms, with multiple browsers.

Matt, thanks for the heads up. I am having problems with that too, thought I could fix in my browser's cookie section but simply haven't had time. We are making up lists of any and all glitches, etc., and passing them on to our web developer, I'll add this one too. We appreciate people letting us know if they find a link or anything else that is not working properly. We'll get it all 100% good before the new martin season

One of the pluses of the new website is that everything is in one place, and a user's forum account, store account, scout reports, etc., are all connected to their account number. I think I have that right...

I like to look at the store and when I click on the item there's no picture of that item! Hope that will come back with tweaking the site! I just like dreaming of a large colony and wonder what I would get next if I ever get the darn birds to stay.

Love the laugh out loud guy!!!

Sharon, what item or items did not have photo? They should all have them, and the ones I just selected did. You can help us out by letting us know which were not working.

I have no problem with loging in and going directly to "New Posts".
1)I login (top right hand corner if necessary
2)Login in AGAIN and remember me, so choose remember me
3)Go to quick links, then choose new posts
4)Since you are now at the desired place, save your address, and use that address the next time. It will save several steps

The picture is on the first page. But when I click on view item there's no item to view on that page. No close up look!
Hope this helps!

So you are clicking on green box with "view image" on it, and it's not loading to new page with picture, item info, etc.? They are working when I click on them, we'll try to figure out what's going on.

Yes when I click on view item (the green box) it goes to a page that only has details about the item but does not show a picture of the item being sold.

The same thing that Taxidery Lady mentions is also happening on my iPad. I thought it might just be because I use an iPad, rather than a PC. However, the close up look after clicking on View Item worked previously before the change.

We changed a setting yesterday, so the login information should now carry through from session to session as long as the 'remember me' box is selected when logging in. If you are still having issues with the login information carrying over please let us know.

We're still trying to recreate the missing image issue after selecting the 'view item' box. If you can tell us how you are viewing the page, whether it's from a PC/laptop or a mobile device such as a phone or tablet like Cheryl's iPad, and what browser you are using, it can help us to narrow down the problem.

Thanks for the update.
It looks like it's working great now.

I am using an iPad but also have a pc. So what I did I went in and looked on pc and the picture comes up when I click on view item box with the pc but not my iPad. My browser is Google. Thank you.

Louise Chambers · Wed Sep 16, 2015 10:20 am

Thanks, Sharon - I tested, and my ipad, no picture - so we will get it figured out, sooner than later, we hope! At least our logins are good now.
