Help a BigFan out.


Especially those of you who have run a message board.

We need to figure out the process or where to go to on the site to enable staying logged in.

Whoever figures this out gets a VERY special reward from me.



Maybe Cookie settings?

If you (or your users) are, after attempting a login, being returned to the index (or other page) without appearing to be logged in the most likely problem is incorrect cookie settings. phpBB uses cookies to store a session id and a small amount of user data. For this data to be stored correctly the cookie domain, name, path and secure settings must be correct. You can check this in Admin->General->Server Configuration->Cookie Settings. Typically the cookie domain can be left blank and the cookie path set to / (a single forward slash). Do not set the cookie as being secure unless your board is running over a secure sockets layer connection, ie. https://

Biggie had to have changed something in the settings recently. A simple email to whoever hosts this board would fix this within minutes.

Actually perusing there support site, it seems they are very big on people fixing or learning to fix things themselves. There whole thing is "anyone can run our forums"

I can do it, all bigfan has to do is ask. Root access for a day should be enough.

Root access? I dont like the sound of that.


One of you should be good enough to just tell him how to do it.

Root Access sounds like a gay strip club.

3.2.3.3. Security settings
Here, on the Security settings page, you are able to manage security-related settings; namely, you can define and edit session and login-related settings. The following describes the available security settings that you can manage. When you are done configuring your board's security settings, click SUBMIT to submit your changes.

ALLOW PERSISTENT LOGINS
This determines whether users can automatically login to your board when they visit it.

The available options are YES and NO. Choosing YES will enable automatic logins.

PERSISTENT LOGIN KEY EXPIRATION LENGTH (IN DAYS)
This is the set number of days that login keys will last before they expire and are removed from the database.

You may enter an integer in the text box located to the left of the word DAYS. This integer is the number of days for the persistent login key expiration. If you would like to disable this setting (and thereby allow use of login keys indefinitely), enter a "0" into the text box.

A potential issue could be that the cookies are set up as the fully delimited server.domain.com
rather than the more flexible *.domain.com

Could be causing an issue with folks logging in via the URL sans the server designation:

score670.com/

whereas the cookies might possibly be getting set with the full server + domain:

http://www.score670.com/

if that's the case, set the domain for the cookies to be *.score670.com

that's a * or the symbol above the 8

or force all urls to include the www. portion.

course, I have no idea if this is the issue, but it would impact/could be impacting users logging in/staying logged in.

That sounds way too damn complicated. It's probably safer to just give IMU total control of the board to fix it.

Since you're looking into things, you should let people change their names again.

And I checked the YES Button on the Allow persistent logins:
Determines whether users can autologin when they visit the board.

IMU's answer is the same answer I have got from every web guy. Never the simple answer, always need to be programmed, even though someone much smarter than them created PHPBB for web dumb people like myself to be able to flip a switch. Just need to know which switch.
