exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Cool. Yeah, if you was using the old exxoshost forum link, phpbb would not be able to deal with the cookies correctly. I guess the issue probably started a few weeks back when I stopped having the exxoshost to exxosforum as a redirect and just ran both domains as an alias instead. The login cookie wouldn't work across 2 domains for starters, but phpbb cookies are only for the exxosforum domain anyway.

I did look into that a bit more on the phpbb forums. I think others wanted to have multiple domains running the same forum, but nobody could really figure out why anyone would want to do that. I guess it would just be easier if it would just accept a IP address instead of a actual domain in the setup. Maybe that would work anyway, I don't know, but I am not going to start messing around with cookies :)

Hi, I've been seeing the 'remember me' option stop working on my home PC over the last few days - just wondering if anybody else is seeing the same?

Not a big issue (and certainly no rush to sort it from my perspective), just thought I'd ask...

While doing loads of backend changes to the store code, I have noticed that Firefox is chucking out an error relating to cookies...

Cookie “phpbbexxos666_u” does not have a proper “SameSite” attribute value. Soon, cookies without the “SameSite” attribute or with an invalid value will be treated as “Lax”. This means that the cookie will no longer be sent in third-party contexts. If your application depends on this cookie being available in such contexts, please add the “SameSite=None“ attribute to it. To know more about the “SameSite“ attribute, read https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/ ... e/SameSite

Not sure if it is relevant or not :shrug:

Though apparently IP changes can cause similar issues as well.

'Lax' is the default anyway (when it's not explicitly set, as with the PHP cookies) so it shouldn't have any impact, i.e. no change

If I look in my User Control Panel -> Profile -> Manage "Remember Me" login keys, there seem to be about two new ones per day. I've cleared out about a hundred this morning, removing the ones from before 2024.
