OK, I think I've bottomed the problem, but don't know if there is a solution.

The cookie is not being deleted, but the UID in the cookie is sometimes different from the tblAuthor User_code, which causes the board to assume I'm not logged in.

I think this is related to logging into the forum from two different PC's (work and home) as it seems to create a new User_code every time you sign in.

Apart from the obvious one of changing the code so the User_code is static (not sure why it has to change anyway?), is there another way to get round this?

Thanks for the help so far.

Yeah, if the cookie is disapearing, then someone or something is deleting them, check all background processes, specially those with automated cleaning capabilities.

Run this code in your web site to see all cookies created by it:


<%
For Each strKey In Request.Cookies
  Response.Write "<B>" & strKey & "</B>" & " = " & Request.Cookies(strKey) & "<BR>"
  If Request.Cookies(strKey).HasKeys Then
    For Each strSubKey In Request.Cookies(strKey)
      Response.Write ">&raquo; " & strKey & "(" & strSubKey & ") = " & _
      Request.Cookies(strKey)(strSubKey) & "<BR>"
    Next
  End If
Next
%>

Good luck.

Some software firewalls have options to clean up cookies, temp files, etc. Check your scheduler, firewalls, AV programs, uncommon browsers, etc.]]> Fri, 17 Sep 2004 12:39:33 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/login-cookie-expiry-problem_topic11779_post65656.html#65656 <![CDATA[Login cookie expiry? problem : Then I don&#039;t know why your...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/login-cookie-expiry-problem_topic11779_post65627.html#65627 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Yup, correct.

One is a few minutes out, the other correct.

- WWF v7.8
- Access database

I'm having problems with the browser loosing the login cookie after about 24 hours.

Does not matter which browser (IE, Netscape or Opera).

It appears to be set for an expiry date 1 year ahead, but is disappearing from the machine.

Happens on two different forums, on different hostings.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

 

Jim
