Hi,

Every time (several times a day) when I try to visit curse.com I need to login with my account, even though the username/password are saved and present on the login page.
After that, I need to set my theme as well every single time.

I have this on every computer I use (work, home workstation and laptop).
All using Firefox (under Windows XP, Vista and Mac OS X 10.5.1).
I already cleared the cookies for this site, but that doesn't seem to help.

I've been having this for a couple of weeks now, and it's starting to get really annoying.

Is there anything known about this or am I the only one?

Hmm it's fairly likely you're not the only one since I've seen this question asked before. I'll forward it to our internal bug tracking system.

Thanks. I checked a few pages on the forums but couldn't find anything likewise.

I'm having the same issue, fyi.

Indeed, I also have this issue.
I'm also using firefox, I don't touch Internet Explorer here ;)

Can you check your privacy settings? I believe Firefox will show an icon (in the status bar somewhere) if it blocks a cookie. Also, try removing all cookies from the curse.com domain (you can do this with certain addons, such as the web developer toolbar), or just wipe cookies in general.

I'm using Firefox also, but not blocking any cookies as far as I can tell.

The Curse.com cookies I have are :
curse

_utmz

_qcb

_utmc

_utma

_qca

_utmb

_gads



I'll try deleting 'em and get back to you in a couple of days maybe....

As far as I can tell in Firefox in Mac OS X it doesn't show any icons. There isn't even a status bar that I know of...
I will check later on my windows machine what I can see in the status bar there.

Well, deleted my cookies to try and reset things - and today, I've come back to the site 3 times, and had to login and reset the theme all 3 times :(

On my Windows machine now, and for some reason I didn't have to login and set the theme.
And checking on the Mac it wants me to login again...

Having to relog here using IE 7...though it seems to be more a once-a-day kinda thing (have not investigated much). Have cleared all cookies - no help there.

useing IE also and have to log in everytime i come here too.. Most annoying to relog in everytime..

I have the same deal.
I use IE7 and it seems to be a once per day thing.

This problem appears to be fixed for me ..... how about other people ?

Has there been a fix applied to the web site ?

If not, and if the problem still seems fixed for me tomorrow, then I'll post the outline of my solution.

Same behavior for me. XP XP2, Firefox 2.0.0.10. Cookies are created but apparently don't save between sessions. I have manually deleted cookies/cache and tried, but every time I visit the site I have to log in again.

And also, I've noticed that it takes me at least 2 times to log in. I put in my username/pw and click login, it goes right back to the login page (and i'm not logged in). I put in username/pw again, click login and it finally logs me in. I stay logged in until I close the browser and visit the site again.

I am not using any part of Firefox's security features that clears cache/cookies on browser close, and i have no addons that do anything similar.

This has been happening for probably 2 weeks now.

It happened in the past, but whatever the problem was, was fixed in a few days without me posting about it so I figured the same would happen this time :)

Same problem for me. I've WinXP and IE7 and every time i visit the site i have to log in again.

This has been added as one of those issues high up on our priority list.

same problem since the begining of the week, mayb e thursday or friday of the last week.

Still here with the new layout

I also have to log in all the time for the last 1-2 weeks now and it is very annoying. I don't even close my browser (windows xp sp2/firefox 2.0.0..8 running 24/7) so that can't be the reason. It seems as if an auto-logout option has been enabled or changed to about 2 hours or so (haven't measured the time that has to pass before I have to log in again).

Yup, login at least once a day using both microsoft and apple systems.

My fix was non-technical, I just come back less and less frequently.

Can I ask if Curse is somehow associating the IP Address with the Login details ?

I noticed that after I logged in from a different PC at a different site, then I needed to re-log when I came back home and tried to open Curse from my Laptop again .... ?

We don't associate a login with an IP address -- but if you switch computers you will have to login again as you will no longer have the session information available.

We are currently looking into the issue which is causing users to get logged out.

Sorry, I was a bit confused by that.

I don't expect to have to re-log in to this site on my home PC, just because I have logged in to this web site on another PC in the interim.

To be clear, I'm NOT talking about trying to log in from 2 different PCs at the same time.
I always turn my PCs off completely when I finish.

I don't have to log back in to other sites, just because I logged in to them from another PC BETWEEN my sessions at home.

So are you saying that you are also looking in to this issue, and that I can expect not to have to keep logging in for this reason ?
(Again, I don't care about the case of trying to log in from multiple PCs concurrently.)

When it comes to web sites, I'm just a simple end-user. I'm not aware of what the technical definition of a "session" is exactly.

Is the logging in problem possibly responsible for the error that keeps popping up from the icon in my task bar tray?
Something about "wrong login & password, is your account activated?"
Everything is correct and my account has been activated.

shesaw0lf, according to my records you signed in successfully on 2007-11-26 20:28:44 with the client.. have you changed your password since then?

still happening today dec5 :(

thanks for the work tryin to fix it asp!

Using windows XP Pro on three machines with all it's updates
firefox on one and ie7 on the other two i never had this problem before till about a week or two before you guys changed the layout

I hope this problem is solved soon as it is very annoying. :-/

Here are my different setup having the problem, I guess everyone got it:
XP sp2, ie6 or ie7, firefox latest version
Vista 64, ie7 or firefox latest version

and vista 32.

I have to login every visit too (IE7). Very annoying.

/* sound of tumbleweed rolling quietly in the breeze */

this could related to authenticated sessions in firefox.

in Tools | Options | Privacy, then under the section "Private Data", the is a checkbox for clearing private data when you close firefox.
If this is checked, then click the "Settings" button, and uncheck the "Authenticated Sessions" item.

hmm still didn't find out why in 3 weeks?

they found the issue. see the sticky: Login Issues (http://forums.curse.com/details/24202/)

should be fixed in a week or two.
