Ok the boards have auto loggin, great saves time and annoyment, but you have to log in manually on the main page, make it so that it is automated

With great annoyment and sadness, Golden Saucer

When going to log in, click on "Members" before you log in. There is prompts for a log in, with a remember Cookie.

After doing a search, and reading about 3 threads like this in the suggestion forum, I think telling people to click members or set their homepage to the member page or use the `forgot password' page are all workarounds.

I suggest that a `remember me' box be added to the MAIN page, where the login/pass box is.

Furthermore, if you ARE logged in, the main page should NOT display the login box, and have a logout (which I AM aware is on the members page).

This way your UI is the same accross all the pages, and makes sense.

I use Firefox. It remembers my username and password, and automatically enters them into the boxes when I pull up the main page. All I ever have to do is click "Login"

Again, like the other 3 threads about this, this is a workaround. You are telling me to install said software to fix a problem in a perticular website's feature.

Even with your work around, when I go to the main site, when I am logged in I get prompted to log in. Isnt this a bit strange?

HOLY freaking NECROPOSTAGE, Batman!

I mean, I see the relevance, but still, the original poster's question was answered... a year and 9 months ago.

Could this be split to a new topic, perhaps?

Okay, so how about we advise you to install said software for all the <i>other</i> myriad advantages it offers?

Yes, and it shouldn't be happening with any browser...

I didnt want to double-post only to get refered to this or the 2 other posts about this, where the users were just given hacks. IMHO that isnt `solving the issue', or even aknowledging the problem.

Login is screwed up. I can attest to this, having looked at the source code and having experienced similar odd issues myself.

The problem is one of actually getting someone to find the bug and squash it, and everyone I know is currently too busy with other stuff to actually do that bug-squashing.
