If you use the auto-login checkbox on the forum, you will notice that you have to log in and check the box again. This is probably due to a change in the forum's cookie format.

The same is also true of the German forum at http://s89775182.onlinehome.us/forum/

Hi there is a problem with the cookies.
Phpbb2mysql_sid and phpbb2mysql_t get an expiry date of 1970-01-01 as soon as they are created as it seems. Is this normal?

The reason i write is because i noticed a while back that i cannot post as a logged in user anymore. I allways post as guest.

Ohh btw i forgot to mention that i never check the "auto-login checkbox". So you might try to uncheck it and see if the problem occurs to you too.

Just a test with autologin checked.
Edit:
Hmm. Something is borked. With it checked i can post normally :/.

Usually this can be fixed by exiting your browser, deleting your AutoHotkey cookies, and then coming back to log in. If it still doesn't work, it's probably a system-specific issue, possibly proxy or ISP.

Hmm i don't use a proxy.
My isp is t-com.de (biggest german isp). Many of german customers will use that to so this shouldn't be a problem either.
As i said the problem only occurs if i disable autologin. Btw i use Opera 9.10 if that helps.

Although this forum does have a few mods applied -- such as smart redirect, which after you logon takes you back to the page you were previously at -- it's nearly a standard phpBB forum in most ways. So you could try searching at http://www.phpbb.com/community/ to see if anyone else has this problem, and how they solved it.

If anyone else has problems with it, please let me know.

Hmm after deleting operas sitespecific settings it seems to work again, allthought the setting don't differ from what they have been before. Anyway, sorry and thanks for letting me waste your time Smile

One thing bothers me. If i select the "Log me in automatically each visit" option while logging in everything works. I dont know how anything on my end could cause this behavior.
What changes did you make to the cookie format?
Whats different when logging in with the autologin option and without?
