Wee, we've got an upgraded forum!

I am having this same problem with having to relogin every time I visit the site since the upgrade.

Your remembering to check REMEMBER ME right?

Perhaps it could be edited in the script to have it checked by default like it was on the earlier versions of Vbulletin.. (3.5 was the first version with it unchecked of the 3.x series)

Is it possible Edwin to edit the script and have that box checked by default? (Alot of people are having issues and it would make things easier for them i think.)

Not easily, no. But of 14,000+ users, only a handful have reported an issue, so I don't think it's a widespread problem. And deleting all cookies then checking the "Remember Me" and relogging in should cure it pretty much 100% of the time. If not, please check to make sure that you're not accidentally blacklisting this site's cookies - unlikely, but I think most major browsers have a "block a given site's cookie" type function.

I've sent you a PM with the code edit if you wanna look into it

Yep.

At first i kind of disliked the oversized fonts,
but it grows on ya just like those oversized sweaters
that became a fad not so long ago.

Wow, that was easy - a 1 line fix. So I've changed the behaviour so that the "Remember me" is enabled by default (though it can still be unchecked of course). Thanks!

Today I deleted the cookies, logged in, and came back later. It remembered me for the first time since the upgrade.

Thanks

Yup

No one should have anymore login problems

Thank you for doing the code Bamb0. I wasn't in the mood for cookie hunting and was having similar problems. Not anymore. :-)

Now there's a "New Posts" link in the menu bar (and I used it and it produced the same list of messages since the last time I visited. However, it didn't last long. It had 175 threads with new posts, but after I browsed 125 of them, I think, I couldn't get the next 25 and instead got an empty list. So it seems the "New Posts" list is kept for a much shorter time than in the previous version, which is annoying when there are lots of new threads (such as when I return after I was away from the forum for several days.).

On the positive side: having lost the list of unread posts I can go to sleep earlier ...

Considering the number of times that I click on "New Posts" or "Today's Posts" I'm surprised that the searchid # is still so low. ...

Hi Edwin,

Well done on upgrading the forum. However, I actually find it a lot harder to read/use and follow than the old version. Is it possible for individual users to revert to the old "skin"?

Hi Adam,

I, of course, can't speak for Edwin but I will say the new vBulletin version isn't just a new "look" made by a skin. It's all new "coding" that runs the whole thing on the back end. I would think that running two versions of it would be double the work of monitoring, running, updating etc so I'd guess that will not be done.

I have to agree, the inconveniences, etc. with this new version still seem to me to outweigh any minor advantages it may have, although some may claim that it's me (or my system) which is "out of date." But I guess one has little choice but to accept "progress", even when it may appear more like a regression from one's personal perspective...

[Edwin]

Not possible, I'm afraid - the functionality and "look" are part of the core software (though the latter can be tweaked with templates, as I've already done if you compare this current forum with an out-of-the-box one).
