This forum doesn't remember me

[virtualmike]

I've switched to a newer computer, though I'm still using the same browser (Firefox).

On my old computer, the forum remembered who I am, but on this computer, I have to log in every time I restart my browser.

I'm assuming that the user authentication is stored in cookies. I do use a cookie manager, but I allow the browser to retain cookies from sonic.net and sonic.com.

What cookies do I need to enable so the forum will remember who I am? ...thanks!

I think what's going on is that if you login using the drop down login form at the top right of the page, it doesn't use the "remember me" option which sets a persistent cookie.

If you scroll towards the bottom of the forum index, there's another login form on the page that has the checkbox to remember your session. If you use that I think it'll solve the problem but I can see about getting that added to the other login form as well for convenience because sometimes I forget to use that as well.

Those settings are kept in your profile. kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder.

Whenever I use a new computer I copy my current profile--don't forget profile.INI in the parent folder under Windows.

... bottom of the forum index...

That did it! I had to use "Delete all board cookies" first, but the next time I opened the forum, that other login form was there with the "[] Remember me" box. Thanks, Drew!

I intentionally wanted to start a new profile. My other computer's Firefox profile was full of crud from five years of use, and I this was a great way to get rid of it.
