testing new forums

This is a test. And it appears to be successful!

The "keep me logged in between" visits functionality doesn't seem to be working for me. Anyone else seeing issues?

Yep I had to log back in to reply. But Firefox kills cookies for me so I'll have to change couple of things then see.

Edit if I close the tab that wigle on I need to log back in and I didn't close the browser.

Odd, I'm not seeing any issues with that, the forum cookie keeps working on later visits.

I'm running Safari 5.0 on OS X 10.6.4. I checked my forum cookies and found these. The "X" is in the "Secure" column. Note the phpbb3 ones have today's date for expiration.

Code: Select all

.wigle.net style_cookie / X July 13, 2001 7:44 am wigle.net phpbb2mysql_data / May 17, 2011 3:21 pm .wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_k / X July 13, 2011 7:42 am .wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_sid / X July 13, 2011 7:42 am .wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_u / X July 13, 2011 7:42 am www.wigle.net phpbb2mysql_data / June 20, 2011 8:39 am

So I cleared those and re-entered the Forum. The newly created cookies showed similar expirations:

Code: Select all

.wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_k / X July 13, 2011 7:50 am .wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_sid / X July 13, 2011 7:50 am .wigle.net phpbb3_apcj6_u / X July 13, 2011 7:50 am .wigle.net style_cookie / X July 13, 2001 7:51 am

I tried the logging in with Firefox 3.6.6, which had no wigle cookies, and saw the same situation -- expiration dates for the phpbb3 cookies were set to the date/time I logged in.

Aye, today's date next year (2011). I see the same in Firefox, seems to work the same as the old version of the forums. If people were hitting from ssl and non-ssl connections, I tweaked a setting so that should work fine again now.

[pejacoby]

Bingo! It was the 'secure connections only' setting for the cookie that was keeping the insecure connection to the Forum from reading the expiration date.

Many thanks, 'tis working perfectly now.
