morairamike Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 was glad to see the forum back. Like the layout.I logged in and ticked the REMEMBER ME button but it logged me out after a few hours. So what is it for?🚂🚂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 AC will probably give chapter and verse, as 'Remember Me' is universally used on many site log in pages. I can't confirm this to be the case as personally I use my Browser login password manager to manage my log in credentials instead of 'Remember Me'. But I believe [and stand to be corrected if wrong] that if you don't use a PW manager but check the 'Remember Me' tick box instead. A 'cookie' is set that populates the login 'user name' field, but leaves the 'password' field blank for you to enter manually. In other words a 'time saver'. I believe the use of a 'PW Manager' overwrites this 'Remember Me' feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I agree with Chrissaf but I think it seems to depend on your browser settings. On some website it works on others it seems not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morairamike Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 On my win10 laptop it remembers my details and prefills them on the log in panel so I only have to click the green button.On my mobile phone it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just to advise that the Hornby forum 'Remember Me' button has been fixed.To test the fix, I ticked the 'Remember Me' check box prior to yesterday's log-in. Then at the end of yesterday's online session I closed down my PC without 'logging out' of the forum. This morning, upon opening my Hornby forum bookmark, I was automatically logged in without any further input from me.I haven't tested this fix on other non Windows PC platforms, such as Apple MAC, iPad, Android etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Seems to sustain on the iPad despite having been in and out and round about recently, when I come back I am still logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
