Why do I have to sign in every time I visit this site
« on: July 02, 2024, 12:07:31 AM »
In spite of checking the forever tab (or any other time period tab), I have to sign in each and every time I visit this page. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

Perhaps your browser isn't saving a small file (known as a "cookie") when you go through the login process. Your browser settings can let you see all of the saved cookies. Do you know how to find that information? If not, which browser are you using on what type of device (PC, phone, etc.)?

Try this: login to the forum using Safari on your iPhone.

On the phone: go to Settings->Safari->Advanced->Website Data. You should see an entry for concoursmustang.com. If you do, the cookie has been set and you should be able to close the browser and come back to the site without logging in again. If there's no entry, the cookie isn't being set.

Look at Settings->Safari. Is "Block All Cookies" enabled? If so, turn it off and try logging in again. Is JavaScript enabled? If not, turn it on and try again.

Also, if you're using the private browsing option of Safari, it won't save site info.
