Browser Related Issues

How do I get Fanhome on vBulletin to remember me? As in sometimes when I think I’m logged in, I am logged out when clicking on various links.

It has to do with the domain the cookies are set for, occasionally a browser is recognizing www.fanhome.com as different than Fanhome.com . Try authorizing both with www and without the www in you browser’s internet options or security settings as appropriate.

There is also an occasional issue where certain browsers have issues with the “remember me” radio button being pressed more than once. After a few times it is locked into memory.

Related to this issue is certain anti-virus software that needs to be set to allow www.fanhome.com to access cookies.

Also, for those of you with Firefox, you can check and see if FF has remembered your username and password by going to Tools>Options>Security and clicking the button that says "Show passwords". If you have clicked "Remember Me" when you log in, the site along with the username should be listed in the window that pops up.
