Re: "Remember me" works only for a few days?
OK, will do. Not that it's been a great hardship, merely a minor irritation at bed time.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: "Remember me" works only for a few days?
Hello, I occasionnally found myself logged off, two times this year at least. But I realized a few weeks ago, that appart from "exxosforum" domain name, Firefox kept some previous url to "exxoshost", given that I only type "ex" on the url field and then use one of the candidate served by Firefox...
To sum up, when I care to take the first url (to "exxosforum"), I am still logged in, but when selecting a link pointing to "exxoshost", I am logged out.

I had a lot of problems with redirecting in nginx, in the end (in fact maybe 2 weeks ago) I just made exxoshost an alias and had done with it. Possibly up until then exxoshost/forum would likely have been a redirect to exxosforum.. but that would mean people haven't updated their bookmarks for like 2 years or something..sporniket wrote: 01 Apr 2024 21:33 To sum up, when I care to take the first url (to "exxosforum"), I am still logged in, but when selecting a link pointing to "exxoshost", I am logged out.
unfortunately, if anyone is using https://exxoshost.co.uk/forum/ it will not work with cookies as the forum uses exxosforum domain.
So everyone should always make sure to use the new url https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/
I am not aware of any links to forum posts with exxoshost ? Normally posts like that just take the url parameters.. unless there are "hardwired" posts on the forum to exxoshost/forum somewhere still ?
I did change all the https://exxoshost.co.uk/forum/ links to exxosforum some time ago.. but maybe there is something which got missed...:shrug:

Can people try these links and make sure they all redirect to exxosforum..
https://exxoshost.co.uk/forum/
http://exxoshost.co.uk/forum/
https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum/
http://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum/
https://exxoshost.co.uk/forum
http://exxoshost.co.uk/forum
https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum
http://www.exxoshost.co.uk/forum
For me on my PC, it's only redirecting WITH www in the URL... but on my tablet it seems to all work fine.. But I have been mislead by Chrome many times before.. So I think it's lying to me..
Again people need to use exxosforum.co.uk only. Exxoshost.co.uk/forum was discontinued 2 years ago now..
