Logon: "Remember Me" inop

Post by Wm.Ince »

Even after I check the "Remember Me" box, after leaving the SportPilotTalk.com and navigating to another site, each time I return, it requires me to logon again.

Is anybody else experiencing this anomaly?

This is contrary to the prior behavior on the site.

Bottom line . . . I cannot stay logged on.

Mine is working fine - no issues. You might try to clear your browser cache, stop and restart your browser, and try it again. The same thing has happened to me (with other forums), and clearing the browser cache solved it.

Okay . . . thanks Jim.
Nope . . . didn't solve it . . . "Remember Me" feature is broken here. I must do a manual login manual on iPhone and iPad machines every single time. I use my iPad exclusively for forums.

Until just recently, I have never had an issue with it.

I just ran a quick test on my iPhone, using both the Chrome browser and the "default" Safari browser. Chrome worked fine, but Safari did not remember me, just as Wm.Ince reported. Out of curiosity, I tested it again on my Mac desktop, using both Safari and Chrome. Both worked fine. Seems like this bug is an interaction between the mobile version of Safari and the site, rather than a broader issue. I wonder if it's something in Apple's "improved" security features?

Short term, give Chrome (or your favorite "alternate" browser) a try and see if that works for you.

I had the same problem. I believe it was because I was using the URL "http://" (and so on) rather than "https://" (and so on).

Okay. Thanks guys for trying to help out. I appreciate it.
At this point, I will chalk it up to an Apple Mobile device issue and not the site itself.
By the way, my iMac desktop machine did not have the issue. The iMac "remembers" the login.

Have an awesome day! :D

Thanks to "JJay," I think I fixed it.

By editing the URL address for the forum in Safari bookmarks.

The new site address I used was "https://sportpilottalk.com/search.php?search_id=unreadposts"

Once I changed that address, after I logged in, I could navigate elsewhere (leave the forum page) and return back to it, and the logged in page still was in tact.

Thank you JJay for the tip!

This happens to me also from time to time and sometimes just resolves itself over time.
