Notice: Change to "Remember me" settings

Post by Administrator »

On Saturday March 11, 2017 around 9 AM Eastern Time (ET) we will change "Remember me" sessions so that they will last up to one year on FWF. This will affect only users who select the option to "Remember me" on the login screen on a particular computer or device and don't revisit FWF from that device within a year.

Users who do not check "Remember me" will not be affected by this change. You can log out sooner by clicking the "Log out" button in the menu under your user name in the upper right corner of your screen, or by clearing cookies for the website, either manually or using the "Delete all board cookies" link in the board footer.

A reminder:

What browser are you using on your iPhone? Does it happen just for FWF or for other sites that have a "remember me" type feature?

If you are using Safari, check Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Block Cookies and make sure your settings allowing FWF to set cookies.

I have set
Allow from Websites | Visit
should I set it to
Always Allow?

That seems to be more liberal than I like. But what the hey?

I'm using those settings and "Remember Me" has always worked for me.

Are there other sites that offer to remember your login that you use? Do they all work as expected, leaving FWF as the odd one out?

This morning we changed the board's "Remember me" sessions so that they will last up to one year on FWF. This will affect only users who select the option to "Remember me" on the login screen on a particular computer or device and don't revisit FWF from that device within a year.

Users who do not check "Remember me" will not be affected by this change. You can log out sooner by clicking the "Log out" button in the menu under your user name in the upper right corner of your screen, or by clearing cookies for the website, either manually or using the "Delete all board cookies" link in the board footer.
