      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?
                    Browsing with O12

                      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.

                              @joshl your problems have nothing to do with login problems, so why are you hijacking this thread?

                                My apologies...
                                Though we now have a situation when certain things prevail...
                                I haven't experienced any "not-saved-login" issues since the change, though.
                                Would you mind some details? A certain browser? Certain settings?
                                Maybe you updated something recently?..
                                Do other sites behave normally? I mean cookies settings - like that?

                                  Seems to be gone ... I posted that Opera for Android remembers that I am logged in here, even after shutting down and restarting my tablet, but Opera (blink) for Windows does not. Maybe someone at Opera would know why they behave differently.

                                    My Firefox didn't save it (I mentioned earlier I was going to check that). 3.6.6.
                                    And the editing area looks kinda weird!..

                                      My Firefox does not save it it seems.
                                      Maybe the issue could be relevant to that there are a bunch of not stand-alone installations down here...

                                          Now this is interesting ...

                                          I played with editing my speed dial shortcut. If the URL was http://forums.opera.com, then Opera would log me back in and redirect to https://forums.opera.com ... If I changed the URL to https://forums.opera.com then restarted opera (to clear the session cookies) it would log me out and redirect to http://forums.opera.com

                                            I just type "f" into my address bar and hit "Enter"!:D
                                            The url followed gets 'bare', the page loads, a coupl'a secs later autoreloads to the "logged-in state":P

                                            In my Firefox, autologging is o'k now, too.:happy:
