Re: Forced logouts now?
For Chrome I closed all tabs, clicked the wrench in the upper right, selected options, under the hood, show cookies, remove all, close, close, exit chrome. Restart chrome and logged into the RPF no problems.
The above posted by LordFett worked wonders!!
Thank You

Re: Forced logouts now?
I'm really glad I'm not the only one this is happening to, and it doesn't appear to be happening on any other boards that I frequent. Good luck tracking it down. Looks like it's something buried deep in the code.

It was a security patch as was said before, delete your old RPF cookies close your browser ensure the cookie is gone and log into the board.

Re: Forced logouts now?
It was merely a new cookie hash (new way of encrypting the cookie) that is it, nothing more... Nothing buried deep in code just a new hash used to encrypt the cookie as 'hackers' found a way to brute force the old hash and take control of accounts...
As I have said and will continue to say there is absolutely nothing wrong with the site or the forum code anylonger... The single and only issue is that the end user is not deleting the old cookie and getting a new one, delete your cookies and get a new one from the server problem solved...
If you are still not staying logged in the single and only reason is that your browser is still trying to use the old cookie, you need to get 'your' computer to update the cookie by deleting the old one and forcing a new download...
As I said above I know it sounds blunt and it is, but there is absolutely nothing that can be done on this site by the staff as the problem resides on the visitors/users computers not the server...

Re: Forced logouts now?
Well, I finally got myself to stay logged in permanently. I followed the directions that were initially posted, but still got logged out when I closed my browser, or after going to another site and back here, or even when I stayed at the RPF for more than half an hour. I read someone's post about an option that kept cookies from frequently visited sites in order to keep your passwords saved. I looked at my Internet Options panel, and that option was checked. Thinking that it was saving whatever caused the forced logouts, I deselected it and cleared the cookies again. I was logged out of every site that I normally have set to remember my password, including the RPF. Then I went back into Internet Options and made sure to select that option. I logged into my other message boards and password-protected sites, checking the respective "Remember Me" boxes. I haven't had a problem since. It sounds pretty simple, but it you're using Internet Explorer, you might want to make sure you try the same.

Did you verify the cookies actually cleared?

Dumb Question about thr RPF Forum
I'm not sure what happened, but at one point not long ago I used to come here and be automatically signed in and when I went to threads I had been to after clicking a new post link in an email it would bring me to where I left off.
Not anymore.
Did I miss something, news about the site, etc.?
I know it sounds like a cookies thing or something, but it happens on both my laptop and work computer. Cookies are enabled... actually, nothing has changed at all. Not that I can think of... especially on 2 different computers.
So, now, when I come here I have to sign in everytime.
I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm overlooking, but I figured I would ask.
Thanks,

Re: Dumb Question about thr RPF Forum
Yeah, there was an announcement about it for a while up top. What browser? I have posted instructions for Chrome and I think Opera. Throughout the thread there are instructions for Firefox and Internet explorer.
