Title: logged in "forever" query
Post by: the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh on May 09, 2007, 04:30:33 PM
When I log in and set the time I want to stay logged in to "forever", how long does the site actually keep me registered as logged in ?  I ask because I was a bit surprised that it had logged me out over the weekend.  This isn't a request for anything to be changed, I'd just like to know.

Logged in "forever" just means that the cookie that maintains your login state has a very, very long expiration time on it.  It's still possible to lose your logged-in status if you clear out the cookies stored on your browser, for example.

I only stay logged in as long as the PHPSESSID in my URL is the same.  If I just go to jim-butcher.com/bb/index.php I get logged out.

don't use the URL with PHPSESSID.

Just log back in without the session ID and you should be ok.

Yeah, for a couple of days I was having to clear cookies to log in to my e-mail (a screw-up having to do with their cookies, apparently) and every time I came back here after doing it, I had to log back in.
