mattpeneguy I think that may have did it…so far so good.
Whatever you have done… FWIW, the Forum is now running fine on Firefox and has been for the past 24 hrs.
Huh. Really? I just changed the way it refers to the cookie domain. Kind of a shot in the dark, actually. Anyway, good to know. Any chance we can recreate all this when someone else has the same issue?
It’s started working for me now too.
On both my work pc and laptop at home.
The only other thing I did I’ve not seen mentioned was untick
Send a “Do Not Track” request with your browsing traffic
setting in Chrome
Happy days
I understand. I hung onto Internet Explorer as long as I could, but finally switched to Chrome when Pandora stopped working. I gotta have my music while I’m working.
After changing my settings like mattpeneguy mentioned, I now have the forum remembering me! No more logging in all the time.
Thanks everyone.
Excellent. Thanks everyone for your help!
Working for me as well now with Firefox, haven’t changed anything from when it was not working. Can see quite a few more cookies are being stored now than previous.
Been working in Edge Dev, both in Windows and Linux. Thanks Matt!
Ok, so, I’m having an issue too. Not with my login details as such, I never click the “remember me” button. I’m quite happy to enter it all each time I login.
My issue is that during the day if I refresh a page almost everytime , it refreshes with me logged out and I must login again.
It’s not really problematic, as such.. But…
I do use a recent version of Firefox and I don’t have issues with any other sites.
I’m afraid I can’t help with your problem, but curiosity compels me to ask why you never click the “Remember me” button? I could understand it if it was for your bank, or something similar, but why here?
I have the best luck with Chrome, staying logged in. Firefox has some settings for using the site data and cookies (accepting the cookies helps.
The “remember me” thing may also help, but my experience with that setting with FF hasn’t been great.
Also, are you talking about desktop /laptop, phone, tablet?

It’s just a force of habit of mine. Something I’ve been doing for years.
It also helps me to remember my appropriate deets/passwords, etc.
It’s easy enough to do so it doesn’t really bother me much.
And, this is my work PC which is on occasion accessible by others.. 
Matt.
I do accept the cookies. And as I stated, I never use the “Remember Me” features.
I am using a Desktop PC.
Anyone else having issues again staying logged in on this forum? The last couple of weeks, I am having to log into the forum over and over again. It seems that even clicking on the “Board index” link at the bottom of each article even kicks me out. I have removed all cookies and history from Chrome and even tried to change the style of the forum without success.
I haven’t had the problem here, but I know another phpbb forum that has recently developed an issue with logging people off. When we started, we had a lot of problems and eventually figured out a set of server-based settings, forum settings, and local settings that seemed to work together. I keep 2 accounts logged in on Chrome and Firefox, and haven’t had an issue in months.
I have seen some server glitches slide through, though. Maybe you’re getting caught in some of that. Usually an F5 fixes the situation, but if you’re seeing something I can try to see if I can help out.
In Chrome, go to Settings (three dots upper right), Privacy and Security, Cookies and Other Site Data, and under Sites That Can Always Use Cookies, you can add http://cadforum.net to that list. We don’t do any funky tracking or sell data or anything like that. We just use the cookies to keep you logged in and remember your settings such as the theme you use.

Thanks matt, I had that setting in Chrome already. However, I did not have the “http” part. I added a line with a “http” stuff and we’ll see if that helps. I am also running Chrome Version 92.0.4515.131 (Official Build) (64-bit). I have even been trying different forum styles and and am currently running the Elegance LightBlue style which is still giving me issues.
This is not a big deal for me because I use LastPass for all my online passwords and I do not need to re-type my password everytime.
This is still an issue for me…
I need only be away from my desk a half hour or so and when I return I am logged out..
It might be your sever timing out and re assigning a new IP address. I can’t really do anything there.
Hmmmm.. I know little of these things..
I can however stay logged into say, Grabcad for example, for a long time . Even when I Hibernate overnight.
Meh.. No big deal.
Cheers Matt.
