"Create a stronghold auto-log in cookie?" Option in ACP

[Vishal Gupta]

Hi guys

Can you pls disable "Create a stronghold auto-log in cookie?" option in ACP?

ACP -> Tools & Settings -> Cookies

It creates problems. If you get disconnected, the forum forgets you even you had selected "Remember Me" checkbox and you have to login again.

Never had any issues with it here. Since IPB fixed it, this feature has worked great.

I'm on dial up connection and if I got disconnected accidentally, the forum logs me out and I have to re-login.

Its a known issue in IPB which occurs due to the option I mentioned.

Although it's less secure to have this option disabled, I've did it for you..

If you get better connection in time, please let me know

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated.

Yea when my net goes down and I use my dialup backup I have to log in each time I visit wincert because my IP has changed.

But don't you guys have username and password saved, so you just need to click OK to login?

Anyway, that's two of you now which will find this option disabled very useful..

@Rick

Exactly.

And I never faced this problem in any forum using IPB except this forum and Joejoe (I have disabled this option long time back there), so that means most of the IPB forums keep this option disabled bcoz there are many members using dial-up connections.

@N1k

This option records the IP address too and when a user using dial-up gets disconnected, his IP address is also changed bcoz dial-up ISP don't provide static IP addresses.
