Can't stay logged in?

[OCD Solutions]

For the past week, I have to log back into the forum everytime I open ny browser, even though I check the "Stay Logged In" box.
Anyone else having this issue or is just me?

It happens on multiple computers but I upgraded my home PC to Win 11 last week plus I just built up a brand new work laptop so I'm not sure where the issues lies when I've changed so much in the last week or so...plus knowing the site had some issues as well.

Try clearing any saved pwd/login data you have for the site in your browser settings and in credential manager.

Nope, not just you. I have the same problems over the last week as well. They other day the site just wouldn't let me log in. Enter my credentials and it takes me right back to the login screen. Later in the day I didn't have the same issue as I was already logged in..... No idea what's going on but I suspect the site going down the other day is a culprit.

Having simialar issues. I open the X and I'm not logged it. If I try to log in I get this error message:



If I hit the home button, I'm then automatically logged in........

I keep trying to log in and it just says accept cookies. Then when I do it just says the same message

click on "home" and you'll be magically logged in.

The home trick works for me as well which is why is I suspected a site issue.

Odd thing is, I opened the site on my garage PC and it shows me logged in correctly with no issues. It’s windows 10 like my my work laptop but it may not have the latest and greatest updates to security and cookie handling.

It happened to me as well, I cleared all cache and cookies and I'm ok
I was going to say something but I couldn't log in

I just upgraded Xenforo to the latest stable release over the weekend. Looks like one of the settings that was previously enabled was disabled for some reason. I have re-enabled it but short story is: the site is accessible from multiple URL's, however XF needs to know what the "main" direct should be so it's set to "https://www.x-h2o.com" but you can also use xh2o.com, xh20.com, etc.

Make sure your bookmark is pointing to "https://www.x-h2o.com" and try that after clearing cookies/cache and logging in again. I've enabled board URL canonicalization as well which should hopefully prevent any cookies from clashing like this again.

I've been having issues lately keeping XF up-to-date with the latest security patches as it sometimes requires our hosting service to do the same on their end which hasn't always been the case. We're good now and I'm not planning any more major upgrades anytime soon now that the ad metrics and latest php security patches are updated. The only thing left is to increase the anti-spam policies without effecting everyone else.

Great work. I’ll log in later and see if it changed anything for me.

Update: I'm logged in correctly this morning so I'd say it worked.
