Logging in....

[jrk]

"Remember Me" does not seem to work...

Sorry for a redundant post if this is such, but ever since the site upgrade, I've always had to login every time I visit the site, and I've always checked remember me...it just doesn't remember me at all. I'm using the same computer I've always used and no changes on my side that I'm aware of. Never had this problem since being a member (2006). Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[size="2"]Same thing for me. Everytime I close IE this happens. The "remain signed in for 30 days" doesn't seem to register when I re-open IE. This is extremely annoying especially since there is a re-direct everytime you want to sign in. Please fix programmers.[/size]

I'm also being sent to a re-direct on sign in before actually being signed in...

[Gxgolfer]

The redirect is part of the single sign on process for GolfWRX when you initially logon to any applications we run now. Its a problem related to IE at the moment and being looked at per other threads in this forum. It does keep you logged in if you use other browsers.

I'm running Mozilla and actually get a double clutch (it does login automatically eventually but takes 3 screens popping to get there). I couldn't do it at all until I deleted the cookies at the bottom. Still annoying- is there a way to automatically direct my bookmark to being logged in like it used to be?

[jrk]

I'm using safari, but every time I log off and come back to the site, I'm ask to log back in. I've set "Remember Me" every time, but it doesn't want to take it would seem.

[Gxgolfer]

I'm using the latest version of Firefox and not experiencing issues. There are known login/remember me issues and we are working on that. In the meantime, you can try chrome or Firefox.

Same for me with both my iMac and my iPhone. It is pretty annoying.

[Gxgolfer]

Definetly no problems with my iphone. There is another thread where people have updated their Safari and or tried chrome with success.

[jrk]

An update...I noticed that my book mark to golfwrx.com that I've been using since day one (several years) had an address of www.golfwrx.com/jvb. This is the link that always has me re-authenticate. I typed in www.golfwrx.com into my address bar instead of taking my normal bookmark, and it took me to the new site front end which has me already authenticated. I tested this several times and no re-authentication needed. I removed the older bookmark and replaced with the new.

Hope this may help others with this issue.

I have the same issue no matter which browser I use (opera, firefox, chrome). It will automatically log me in, but always redirects me away from the page I was viewing and back to the main page. A minor inconvenience, but is it that difficult to at least redirect back to the $HTTP_REFERRER?

[drpino]

I get the redirect to the Forum root on mobile Safari on my iPhone but not when using FF on my laptop. With Chrome, even when I select "remain logged in for 30 days", when I leave the site and come back, I have to manually click "Sign In" but don't have to re-enter ID/PW. OpenID is a bit quirky huh Ryan?

[Gxgolfer]

I am not experiencing this issues on safari, or Firefox. I need to know browser, version and exact steps taken so the developers can look at it. Also, please be sure your login page is www.golfwrx.com and not the other one as previously posted.

[hfcasino]

I'm using IE & I still have to sign in every time I access the site even though I check remember me. Also when I do sign in & check new posts there's nothing there. They will only start to populate from my log in time. I used to be able to go directly to site & have all new posts from the past 12-24hrs already there. any ideas or is it going to be set up like this permanently. thanks

Same here - still. I've redirected my bookmark to the front page. Worked for a while but then got a prompted sign in. I'm discouraged there is not a way to direct straight to the forum page as we were able to do with the old site. I feel I've posted a lot in this forum (on varying issues) but honestly this forum has easily become the most aggravating site to navigate that I visit. Not trying to bust anyone's hind end. Just pass along to the developers if necessary.

[drpino]

Bookmark http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/ if you want to access the main forums directly instead of going through the homepage (although we like having members check out the front page).

 

The login system is now OpenID and it is a bit quirky. I have no issues remaining logged in using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6 but the current Google Chrome beta for Mac is hit or miss - sometimes it loads the forum home not signed in but then reloads automatically as logged in but other times it forces me to manually login.

 

As for the "New Content" results, you can try changing this setting under My Settings > General Settings > Near the bottom

 

 

Be advised if you choose the latter of the two options, the loading times will be significantly increased.

Make sure your bookmarks are:
http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/

Also, if it shows not logged in, wait 5 seconds and it should log you in.

[volrus]

Anything new on the log in issue? I still can't get it to keep me logged in and it's getting frustrating as I log in and out several times a day. I don't seem have this issue with any other forums I use.

[Gxgolfer]

Did you remove all your bookmarks and reset them? Which browser and which version? Most people have had this issue resolved by updating their bookmarks. Also, if you hit the screen and it shows not logged in, wait 5 seconds and it should log you in.

If after updating bookmarks it does not resolve your issue then.

1) Provide Browser and version info
2) Exact steps you do to login to the board. Describe exactly how you do it and what occurs. It has to be repeatable and replicable in order to fix.

I think it is fixed since I updated my bookmark and wait a few seconds for it to redirect me.

[seniorgolfer1947]

I'm not at all computer savvy Maybe this is a very dumb question, but I never log off is this bad for my computer. I have an older mac and use safari....... thanks in advance for any advise

[Gxgolfer]

logging on/off of the website will not harm your computer.

This works fine, but it'd be a trivial change to the openid login function in order to redirect back to the referring page rather than the forum index.


Currently, if I click on a link to a thread on golfwrx and I haven't visited the site yet, I am automatically logged in and taken away from that page and back to the index. I then have to go back and find the original link and re-click on it.

Happens to me sometimes when using Chrome and almost all the time in Mobile Safari on my iPhone... I just click the back button once or twice and hit refresh to get back to the original/referring page as logged in.

Its being worked on.

[hfcasino]

Not using a bookmark or favorite. Site will not allow me to stay signed in even when I check remain signed in for 30 days. Using IE8

[Gxgolfer]

Have you tried Firefox as a test or Chrome? It maybe a security setting in your IE8. Do you wait 5 seconds to see if it will log you in automatically?

[hfcasino]

I have not tried firefox or chrome-and yes I've waited 5 seconds
