Sign in Remember me not working great

[+ATXTracker]

Recently, I've noticed that I have to re-sign-in to the website much more often. Even when I click the 'remember me' box, it seems to not remember me, or at least not for very long. I've noticed this on at least two computers and my phone, so maybe GS changed something.

 

Has anyone else noticed this?

 

In firefox, it looks like the cookie is now set to expire every 2 days. I wonder if that was recently reduced. In the past, it seemed to remember for a long time.

Has anyone else noticed this?

 

Most definitely have noticed this, and it's very annoying, especially as I have to relogin often on several computers plus my phone. Hope this can be fixed quickly!

... I mean 'Keep Me Signed In' not 'remember me,' of course. I forgot the wording.

 

also, I think I'm having to log in to both the main site and then the forums separately now more often.

There's a thread in the Bug Reports forum called Login that talks about this problem. The promised fixed has been delayed a day or so.

Saw the other threads after this one. Okay, I'll be patient longer. (not like I have a lot of choice in the matter). Thanks for the info.

here are the steps to reproduce:

 

1) log in and click 'keep me signed in'

2) close your browser

3) open a new browser and go to geocaching.com - you are still signed in.

4) close your browser

5) open a new browser and go to geocaching.com - YOU ARE NOT SIGNED IN.

 

The cookie expiration date is not being reset correctly in step 3.

And the answer is See You Next Tuesday. Which is today. Yes, first noticed it Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S.

The answer was changed, and further explained, on page 2.

Looks like it's happening today at 2 pm Pacific time. Yay!

An inconvenience to the site users is not a 'RED ALERT'.

 

We have your $$$, so there is no emergency.

 

If there was an issue with accepting your $$$, THAT would cause a 'RED ALERT'.

 

'We'll fix it when we get around to fixing it...meanwhile, tough cookies.'

I can't login to ANY of my computers at home now. Tried with Firefox, IE and Chrome. All give me the same useless generic error.

 

Please correct the following issues:

 

An error occurred while logging in. Please try your request again. If you continue to have problems, please send an email to contact@geocaching.com.

Same here, but it seems to be working today. I was still signed in the forums, but not the home page.

This is a duplicate thread of one that is in the Bug reporting forum

 

http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=294788

 

I will close this one. If you are continuing to have issues (a bug related to this) you may post in that thread, and you are more likely to get help or a fix.
