miden Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 So Firefox just did it's update thing, and I am now having to log in each time, even with save box checked.. I am asking if anyone else is experiencing this so I can rule out the forum software and concentrate on a browser fix. Although other web forums I visit all seem to be ok...

I am asking if anyone else is experiencing this so I can rule out the forum software and concentrate on a browser fix. Although other web forums I visit all seem to be ok... Jim and Dave are in the middle of transitioning MPN to a more reliable host. Could be the occasional glitch here and there. I'm partly guessing but probably not far off the mark. I'm on Safari - Mac and have only had the usual "can't open the forums at all" sort of delays. Hopefully those will soon be gone forever!!!

When I click it before entering my password, it does. Safari, but former Firefox user. Thanks, I just tried that but no go. Same result EDIT: okay I think it may be a browser issue - MS Edge retained the login, so back to Mozilla and see what's what there.

Mr -G- Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 You should be able to add a new login in firefox manually via: Settings > Privacy and Security > Saved Logins. On the left of the screen there is the list of saved logins and at the bottom there is "Create new login" button which takes you to a dialog.

No big deal for me and I don't think it's browser specific necessarily because it happens with Safari as well. hmmm, up until this latest FF update earlier this morning, I stayed logged in all the time. It only JUST stopped doing it. For the most part I'd agree with not being logged in, however if you come across a thread and you want to respond, it's a bit of a pita, to have to go and log in. It's also a pain to have to keep a FF tab open JUST to keep it logged in....I have now been to all my saved website addresses that have a password and every one retains the login using the same FF, so now I am suggesting something here has changed. However, having said that, no-one else is experiencing any difficulty. So this now classifies as weird Quote There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

So this now classifies as weird Reminds me that when things like this are happening it is a good idea to Select All and Copy a post before attempting to post. Another pita is when you have to log in again after you logged in and after you composed a post then it returns you to an empty compose window. Sometimes hitting the Back button brings up the lost text. Sometimes it doesn't. An aside, I see these updates to Firefox eroding what made it special. Most of the "add-ons" I used have become obsolete and disappeared during the update process somewhere in past updates if not the most recent. In the recent past of updates they have not updated most add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr -G- Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Another possibility, just in case... Under Settings > Privacy & Security there are options that might forget you were logged in after closing the browser, like "Delete cookies and site data when FF is closed", or the "Enhanced mode protection". Maybe it is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Motif Max Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looks pretty good. I'll have to get used to the new look as well...I'm familiar with that software's look, but it's never been my favorite lol (side note - I've actually kept the pre-update UBB theme with the grey/blue-green and white this long here). The only two things I notice are that the YouTube video embedding has an artifact from the first half of the UBB code above each video, and that signatures/forum profile stuff that's visible in the thread view (as opposed to the profile page) are missing, but those are pretty minor. Nicely done.

Joe Muscara Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just a reminder because I know this is going to bite some people. Make a note of the email address you registered with *this* forum now, before we migrate. You will need that to log in at the new joint. It would probably also be a good idea to note your login name here, just in case. Note that those are probably both different from each other and your display name, depending on how you set things up. To find these, go to your display name near the top right of any page, and select Edit Profile from the drop down menu. All three and your (hidden) password as well as your other info will be on this page. Please pass it on to any forumites who are less frequent around here.

Type a colon followed by the first few characters of the emoji you want and it gives you a menu you can select it from while you type. And Like, Laugh, and some other reactions (which admins can change later) are instant like a real forum. It remembers threads you did and didn't read, possibly forever. It works quite well on mobile devices and they can make an app for it, too. It has lots of features we can tweak and add that we can really build a community with. If you want an idea, check out CasioMusicForums.com - same software. Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!
