I just got an email from JH saying that this problem is still occuring to him. So apparantly the upgrade to 2.0.13 has not solved the problem. Off to troubleshooting...Sir Toby wrote:Let me know if upgrading to 2.0.13 has solved this problem.
Is there anyone here that this is *not* happening to? For those that this is happening to, does it happen 100% of the time, or are you still able to automatically log in occasionally? What steps do you take to reproduce the problem?
To confirm that I get this 100% of the time between browser sessions. I think it may not happen - or at least not always - if I return within the same browser session. I'm using IE6 with all updates addressing security issues installed.Sir Toby wrote: I just got an email from JH saying that this problem is still occuring to him.

Strange... I just tried the following on IE and Firefox: I log in, clicking the 'Log me on automatically each visit' checkbox. Then I close the browser. Then I re-open the browser and navigate back to the forum. I find myself logged in.JH wrote:To confirm that I get this 100% of the time between browser sessions.

Have you tried with different browsers/computers?

All right. I'll start poking around on the phpBB support forum this weekend. If I remember correctly, I think I also upgraded my version of PHP around the same time I upgraded phpBB. That may be a complicating factor that I'll also need to sift through as well.JH wrote:No. The odd thing is that this problem didn't happen prior to 2.0.11.
A couple of points:
1. I don't think that it's a cookie issue. I don't see the little warning sign that IE usually shows when it disallows a cookie.
2. In the IE security settings, I tried changing the User Authentication setting from "allow automatic logon only for intranet sites" to "automatic logon with username and password", but it seems to have made no difference.
