Hi

Just recently upgraded to v10 from v9. We have a problem with some user's whose cookies expire everytime they close their browser regardless of whether they click the "remember me" option.

The wierd thing is that is seems to resolve itself for most users.

What changes are there between the v9 and v10 cookies pls - keen to know so we can try and diagnose the issue.

Cheers
Craig

The only difference is that you can now set the cookie prefix name from the admin area. In version 9 it was hard coded as wwf9.

In version 10 this maybe different, which in some rare cases can cause issues. For those that experience cookie problems they should clear out their cookie cache.

The other difference is if you enable EU Cookie Directive Compliance. If you do then cookies are only set on the visitors browsers after logging in to the forum. For those that do not login only a temporary session cookie is set.
