Auto login

[bryans fan]

Unfortunately the old login system (currently working) is incompatible with new features I'm developing for next year.

Oh you are such a tease!

Is this the option where for a fee we can control other members' webcams? I remember you telling me.

The PennyMachines Premium subscription Collecta-Spycam is on hold pending full licensing rights are agreed with the NSA, but I can report the auto login (to the best of my knowledge) is now fully resolved!

Was OK yesterday
but today very much
But not the end of the world
After all we are
I wonder if it could be wet electric that's causing it??
Not that bothered, just wanted to use some simile faces.

[badpenny]

"simile faces" ????? Stu I think you misspelt that ...... try "Simile faeces"

Was OK yesterday
but today very much

Can you elaborate Stu?

Hi Dave, Today I have been having to sign in each time I go to the site. That said, just now when I have come to the site I was still logged in from last time so working now, very strange. Might be sorted now??

[pennymachines]

Good... Let's see how it goes. Do let me know if it shows its ugly head again so I can it once and for all.

Not working for me?? Sorry

[slotalot]

BUGGER!!!!!!!
Just had to log in again this time, seems to be a bit hit & miss

[highfield]

Same here, having to log in each visit

[badpenny]

In so much as click on "Log In" but all the details are entered. At least on mine.

Mixed BP
Sometimes just clicked on login and when straight through.
On two other occasions had to re-enter details.
This morning all ok, was auto logged in

Thanks for keeping me up to speed on this frustrating little bug. I depend upon your feedback because I'm finding it hard to replicate from my end.
I've just changed the cookie name which means all auto-logins set before 7:15 on the 8th Jan will be killed. Meanwhile I've made some other little changes which may (or more likely, may not ) fix the issue.

When you visit the site you should now only see https://pennymachines.co.uk... in the browser address area (in place of http://www.pennymachines.co.uk...) as I'm forcing that shorter version of the domain to avoid cookie errors.
Please let me know if auto-login works from this time forwards.

Tried it several times to check tonight BP and its working ok

[pennymachines]

[slotalot]

still having to sign in each visit..
Think I will change my user name to Loginalot

[pennymachines]

Can you let me know what Operating System and browser you use?
Are you seeing http://www.pennymachines.co.uk... or https://pennymachines.co.uk... top of page?

I thought I'd really cracked it this time.
It's working fine for me on several devices.
Anyone else still experiencing this?

I'm changing the cookie name again and making one other change. This will again kill existing auto-logins, but let's give it a go.
