Full Version: HELP! I can't get BI Forums to remember me
Banzai Forums 7.0 > Banzai Public Forums > Mechwarrior Help Center

I have no idea why, but I can't stay logged on to BI Forums. Just BI, I have no trouble with AS or MW4Online or any other forums.

It's just my main PC - my laptop stores the cookie fine and remembers my log-on whenever I visit.

Are you using a software firewall on that system? You may have it set to block cookies.

I am seeing the same issue when I connect to the forum. I suspect zonealarm is blocking it but have not investigated further.

You are blocking the auth cookies set by the BI forum. Allow that and you are golden.
Lonewolf
Nope, not it.

A cookie is being created on my computer - ....@banzaiinstitute[1].txt. I can deleted it with the "delete cookies set by this board" link below the main forum root page. When I login with the "yes" option for remembering me, it creates a new cookie on my computer.

However, every time I close IE and then re-open it to visit BI Forums, it doesn't remember me.

I'm getting paranoid and think the cookie for this Forum is broken. Can someone test this by deleting their BI cookie (either manually or with the link provided at the index page) and then logging in to see if they're being "remembered"?


EDIT: Oh, this has happened recently - in the past week or so. Prior to that I'd had no problems getting recognized by the BI Forum.

I have the EXACT same problem, using Mozilla. It's little more than a nuisance, but it's still a nuisance tongue.gif

Same here, IE, cookie is there, but not working, just like above...and it's only been since the last Banzai Forums death & rebrith...

I believe I found the solution (with Wildcard's help):

I kept going directly to the forum page via an old favorite link, which was www.teambanzai.net/invisionboard/index.php, or something like that. Once I deleted the favorite link and replaced it for the one with the new domain name (banzaiinstitute.net), it remembered me fine!

GR and Kalie, try the above, see if it works.

I think if you go to the front page and then click on the 'forum' link from there, then it should eliminate those problems as well.

The main url for the site now is www.BanzaiInstitute,net - www.TeamBanzai.net still works (so may links out there I didn't want to make obsolete) but it's essentially just a re-direct.
