Site Update, Login and Sessions
by Rick Overman · 07/19/2005 (4:24 pm) · 21 comments
I made a huge behind the scenes site update today, hopefully none of you noticed. I reworked all the session, cookie and remember me code to facilitate some sub domains that will be coming online in the near future (ahem ..TDN).

I did notice a warning that came up saying that I needed to be logged in to access this page, I have my home page set to ...
http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=my&mod=home&page=home
I refreshed and It was fine, but just something other users may see.

I logged in... then went back to the community page and my log in didnt take. I went and logged in again and same thing.
I had to navigate to the community page then refresh to get it to show properly.

Have to refresh the browser (IE6) before it updates it.

I just re-logged in (as the old cookie seemed to be invalid) and everything seems fine.

I noticed it does not seem to log me in automatically like it used to. I have had to log in myself the last few times. That is the only difference I have noticed.

in short every day I have to relog in.

I'm having to re-login every day, I know its only a small inconvenience, but it does get annoying very quickly. If the cookies have to expire, then once a week would be fine, in fact pretty much anything other than every day or two :)

My cookies seem to expire daily as well. I have to relog in from every computer I read your website from, which is several a week. Can we go back to the old behavior, where my cookies never expire?

I just looked... I have 5 different Garagegames Cookies. My "remember me" cookie is set to expire in a month, but there is a _utmb cookie that expires in an hour. Could the site be looking at the wrong cookie or something?
