      Is there a setting somewhere for the forum to remember my login so I don't have to sign in each time I visit?

          In my case, when I access the forum in my computer, the login is automatically.

            Me too.
            I've never ever logged into this new forum, it appeared that my details were just transferred over from the old one and I've stayed logged in ever since!
            Most forums will keep you logged in if you don't log out, although with some I use I do have to log in again very occasionally.

              Here it's kinda random. Sometimes it logs me in automatically, sometimes i need to manually login.

                LastPass fills in the form automatically, and I need to click the sign-in button. But without a "Remember Me" feature, I'm never taken straight in. Oh how spoiled we become. 🙂

                  Thanks for reporting, we're looking into this issue. I'm experiencing it too.

                    I am seeing it to, it also affects separate tabs before log in

                    Why Open the Web?

                    Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
                    When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
                    However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

                      Is there any progress on this?

                        What browsers are you able to reproduce this in? Unfortunately I'm only able to reproduce the issue in Opera, while logins are saved in Chrome.

                          Logins are saved in the latest versions of:

                          Chrome

                          Firefox

                          Internet Explorer

                          Seamonkey

                          .

                          Interestingly (and this may be a key point), I noticed that in each browser the Opera forums would open to the logged out state, then refresh to the logged in state. I've never seen that in any other forum I've been a member of the past 15 years (and I've been a member of many).

                          There are two browsers that do not log me automatically:

                          Maxthon Cloud

                          SlimJet

                          .

                          Maxthon has been around for years, but recent versions are built around Chromium, but with their own additions and tweaks.
                          SlimJet is a brand new browser branched off from SlimBrowser. It is also built around Chromium with their own additions and tweaks.

                          There seems to be a pattern here, as recent versions of Opera are also Chromium based with additions and tweaks.

                          (And why oh why do I need to double space lines here in these forums in order to make line breaks??? ...not to mention having to refresh the page to edit a post! 😕 )

                            I used to have this problem with Vivaldi also - it was an issue specific to Chromium but somehow they found a way to fix it. Sorry, not sure what they did.

                              The refresh requirement is a known bug.
                              You can force a line break by putting a double space at the end of the line.
                              Not ideal I appreciate!

                                My Opera 11 seems to hold the logging. Though at the first moment I saw as if it was wrong; then - in a couple of seconds it automatically reloaded to the logged in state.

                                I now seem to be simultaneously (not using at the same time) logged in within two of my browsers (didn't check Fox). In Chrome it looks just fine.:fine:

                                  That's good for those using Opera 11, but 21 is a different story. 🙂

                                        since ~ a week I have to sign in each day. Before, the login was saved 5 days(?), so what has changed?

                                          Apparently, updating the look of the forums is more important than the ability to stay logged in.

                                            The "options" and "quote" buttons and users' posts' numbers (beneath the "avatar") are all gone.
