Second time posting this...first time (about an hour ago?) it appeared to post, showed up for me as the second post in this thread, but I just noticed it gone a few moments ago. The first time I posted this reply I did it through the "Reply to Thread" page since the "Quick Reply" field was missing for me. This time I am replying via "Quick Reply".

So I am back to having the problem staying logged in again. "remember me" box, checked. Cookies, cleared. Logging on at http://armageddongames.net--no www, no .com. Running XP SP2. Using Google Chrome. Not having a problem staying logged in on other sites. Slow load times here (20-40 seconds minimum), sometimes resulting in incomplete loads. The problem went away yesterday afternoon while we were discussing the issue in IRC and I spent a couple of hours perusing old threads last night with out being logged out.

Double-post goodness...attempting to edit previous post, 404'd, decided to reply to my previous post, ended up double-posting previous message. This is fun.

Anyway, after making previous post, I realized that rather than refreshing in same tab, I had a new tab opened for this thread with my reply in addition to the original tab for this thread I had attempted to reply in. I hope some of this makes sense to someone because I am lost.

At least I get to test the edit function.

Update: If you're using Firefox, here's something that worked for me and may work for you: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...in+to+websites

The last section in particular, about removing corrupt cookie files, finally did the trick for me; AGN (as well as all other sites) now correctly remember me. As always, please let me know if this helped/didn't help/you still have problems logging in.

If you can't reply here because you can't log in, feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected].

That "seems" to have worked so far.

Yeah, I'm definitely staying logged in now.

I hope this shows up. I made a post two days ago, and it does not show up now. I deleted the saved cookies through Firefox, so hopefully I'll stay logged in. I'm using Windows 7 RC, and Firefox 3.0.15.

EDIT: Okay, it seems to be working now.

Thanks for the directions DD. I think my problem is fixed now too.

Chucked all AGN cookies, and the login decided to work. Windows 7 x64 (retail), with Firefox 3.6b4

In another thread Anthus had another good suggestion: if you're getting to the forums via a bookmark, delete the bookmark and recreate it. Bookmarked URLs sometimes have extra parameters (?blah=blah&blah=blah...) that confuse the new vB software.
