De.scription and Message
One of my members have asked this question, so i thought it would be better coming from her:
It finally came to my attention, that everytime my IP rolled over my address, I would not be logged on to the board anymore. I can set it to log me in automatically, but when my IP rolled over, I had to log in again when I returned and I would get the warning that my IP address was different and I might not be me.
LIGHT BULB!
I do not know how this affects those with AOL, but it would probably explain why Elorie and possibly others cannot stay logged onto the site. More frequent roll-overs would cause one to not stay logged onto the board... at least in theory.
What to do about it? I don't know, because 1. those with IPs who have very frequent roll-overs don't have control over this issue. 2. Only Krill and Omega can fix security settings and this might present a security problem if they messed with this particular feature.
However, this is only a theory due to experience and observation. My IP address rolls over at least once a week, my setting to stay logged on becomes defunct thus I have to log in again (no biggy since it doesn't happen too often to me) and then I get the warning that my addy has changed after I log in again.
Recommendation? For those who have headaches staying logged on, watch for this warning (it will be at the top of the board after logging in as a tip), and see if my theory pans out for any of you and then report back in this thread after you notice it X amount of times. After that, maybe Krill and Omega can work with the issue.
Also, if my correlation doesn't hold true for any of you having headaches, let us know, because then we will know my theory has no basis and the problem is something else. Thanks.
Elorie, hopefully we can solve your problem with staying logged onto the board as we test my theory. Hopefully, you are not my only guine pig.
I have installed the cookie mod a few times, as for the staying logged in, could this because of i have more than one Integramod forum on my domain? Or as she said, roving IPÂÂ ´s. I do not have this problem with phpbb2 forums i visit, just integramod. Its no biggy, I think Integramod is THE best around, but would be nice to be able to keep going on my sites without having to login again <img>
