No difference here

Did you log out and in again to test?
What phone OS are you using?
Special - are you also using a Mac?

This time it was different, I had to click on login but it skipped my username and password and logged me in.
I'm using android on my phone.

I'm using a PC, running Windows 8.
Still had to log in today.

Mine wasn't working for some time, but has been fine for the last couple of weeks. Windows 10.

Back to having to login with my name and password again every time.

For the past couple or three days whenever I visit the site I'm logged out.
Yet when I click on the "Log In" clicky, it doesn't take me to a different page to do so it just shows my avatar and ID in place, and I'm there.

Every time I leave the site and come back I have to login, I've just come to terms with it now

I get that sometimes too but not always...
Bob also emailed recently with similar login issues. I'll give it some attention again when I return from my hols in a couple of weeks, but this is proving a hard nut to crack.

Me too.

Anyone having problems with leaving the site and having to login every time you come back?

Working ok here.
I even used another computer and it logged me in.
That I don't understand but it did.

Having to sign in here too, using a Mac iPad

Yeah every time here as well from iphone.

Was just on my Samsung phone but now on PC as well.

Pleased it's not just me then

Me too.

OK - I have a theory, and hopefully a solution.

Once upon a time the root URL of this website was Then it became and then, adopting the cryptographic protocol: But will also get you here.

Until a few days ago Google was indexing the site under the first (and original) of these URLs.
As of Jan 31, I instructed them to prioritize the https://pennymachines.co.uk/ URL, so this should start predominating in results from that search engine.

I've noticed that some members (not surprisingly) view the site from the old www address. If they then visit a page under the secure URL, they will no longer be logged in. This is because it is no longer possible (for good reason) to set "secure" cookies, handled by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), over an insecure (e.g. HTTP) URL.

So, assuming this is the issue, the answer is to ensure the root address is https://pennymachines.co.uk/ when you log in and make sure you return to and remain on that root. So you would log in to the forum from here
This may mean updating any short-cuts you click upon to get here.
