Has the dgrin cookie changed the way it allows me access?

David_S85

As of yesterday, my dgrin access is not automatic when I open my browser. I have to manually log in. After a short while, the same dgrin open browser window logs me out and I have to log back in. If I open another browser window, I also have to log in with that one.

Before, I'd just load the browser and the cookies did all the work. What changed? :dunno

I always keep the good cookies around without squashing them.

David David David - nope nothing's changed, I'm sorry mate. What browser are you using on your new machine?

Still using the same machine and browser I was before. The new machine is not online yet. But the behavior has changed within the last 24 hours. A few months ago we were chatting in a thread about how the login never really worked correctly (for lots of people). It seems it is working now, but the cookie(s) are now not identifying and logging me on automatically as they used to do.

It's not a big problem for me. In fact, it might be great, if the fuctionality does what it is probably supposed to do. For people who log in from work, a user cookie that does not store user's access info can't allow other curious folks access that should be reserved for the registered Dgrin user. For moderators, it is a very good "feature," as I sure wouldn't want an associate to begin spoofing my usage and controls. (much less being able to delete the entire internet.)

Could change again, Baldy found the key to the data center and decided to play tonight there.

Found it. I must have been again.

It was a security issue. I had something turned on that had local cookies masked as if they were off, so they couldn't be used. My bad.
