+Team Shibby Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Any chance we could get rid of the 40 minute login sessions? It is getting to be a real pain in the a** logging in and out, especially for folks who use more than one PC... What purpose does it serve anyway? Kar Link to comment
+hutchca Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I think it's a bug in the programming. It doesn't look like it's being done intentionally. I checked on the cookies and they are being accepted properly. The cookie doesn't expire until next year so I don't see why it doesn't auto log you in anymore. I'd just give 'em some more time. They'll fix it eventually. Link to comment
+hutchca Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I've read in some other posts about creating a custom shortcut to automatically log you in. How is that done? EDIT: Nevermind. I found it in a search. http://www.geocaching.com/login/default.aspx?username=username&password=XXXXXXX [This message was edited by Chuck & Kris on July 18, 2003 at 03:45 PM.] Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted July 18, 2003 Author Share Posted July 18, 2003 I wouldn't mind editing my bookmark with a url that logs me in, but I think I am being logged out in under 40 mins. Where it urks me is that I'll go to click on a persons profile and it will bring me to the login page. Once I log in, it does'nt forward me to the profile page but rather a page that tells me I am logged in. So, now I have to go back into the forums and dig up the post I was looking in and click on the profile I am interested in. If it is a bug related to a security measure, I'll sit tight and await a fix, but if the login session serves no purpose (like bandwith)I'd rather see it go. I do use two computers so I can see where I may run into this more than some other folks, but I only save cookies on my home machine and rarely ever do on my machine at work. Thanks for the URL code, I will give it a try and see how it works for me Kar Link to comment
