Forum admins… I posted earlier in the day and had to re-post in Bookman’s Creative thread (see below) this afternooon. My original reply didn’t stick.

This is the third time this has happened.

Additionally, my auto log-in hasn’t worked for at least a week.

Could there have been some aspect of the 10.4.9 update that screwed things up? It seems to me the only thing that could have changed - from this end, at least.

It isn’t just you…

I haven’t had my auto-login for quite some time.

I’ve had no auto-logon for some time now on both Safari on 10.4.9 at home and IE on Windows 2000 at work. It’s not confined to a single OS or browser.

In addition to the auto-login problem, I’ve also found I intermittently can’t log in at all with certain browsers. (Firefox and Camino are the ones I have the most trouble with, while SeaMonkey and Safari usually work fine, or at least better.)

I spoke too soon. SeaMonkey worked fine earlier and now it won’t let me log in at all. smile

I’ve had an odd problem of late in OS 9.

Clicking on any outside link results in a “hang/freeze” that is only resolved by a force quit of the browser (WaMcom Mozilla 3.1).
I offer this here in the hope it might lead to solving these issues.

Mods feel free to move this.

I’ve been having the autologin problem as well as a cookie problem.  Half the time, the unred thread icon turns into a read thread icon as soon as I click into a forum.

This is the first day I’ve been able to log in in about a week. It kept telling me my password was wrong, regardless of how many times I tried to completely retype my username and password.

I posted on thgis on the 10th
http://www.macobserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=54913
and jinkies said they were aware of it and were working on it. It seemed better last night but I’m watching to see if the problem comes back.

EDIT: That I was able to post this indicates that it seems better today
EDIT2: that I was able to edit is even better news.

FWIW I can log in with Safari just fine now but SeaMonkey drops me back to the login page with the name/password blanks.

Sigh…

I just came to the site, went to reply to an article and the system didn’t remember me. I logged in and then came here to the forums, and it still didn’t remember me, even after logging in to post an article comment.

Using the same PB and Safari that I always use.

Once I log in, I’m good to go, but it asks for a login whenever I first come to the forums. Maybe the cookies have been nobbled???

Was working fine for me until today. Now Safari can’t log in at all, and Firefox seems to time out after a short while. Lets me log in, but appears to lose its cookies.

It depends on what you look at, obviously,
But even more it depends on the way that you see

Same thing happening here today. I had to start Firefox to get logged in.

ARGH!
