Ever since I set up the ID for Bob the Vampire, the board has stopped remembering me under my own name. t sob! Has it decided I'm too fickle? If I leave the board for several minutes and come back, when I hit Read New it asks me to re log-in. I checked, and Remember Me is still checked in the profile.

Is this one of those things that a reboot and/or close the browser window would deal with?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

it's worth a shot. I've never had a problem with me going back and forth between DXMachina and other IDs. If you've checked "Remember Me" in all of your profiles, then it should remember who you last logged in as.

Okay, I take some of that back. When I logged in as Phred, I checked my profile, and it said remember me. I closed the browser (without logging out), then opened it up again, went to b.org, and I was logged in as DXMachina. So it remembers only DXMachina, which is fine.

You can also try unchecking "remember me" in Bob's profile.

Spam.

The thing is, I know it will remember other UserID's, because other Buffistas have used my computer on occasion to log into the board, and I can come back later in the day, open the browser, and be logged in as that person. (Not that I would ever change anyone's tagline or anything.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd recommend what DX said. I don't have the code in front of me, so I can't tell you who it's choosing to remember, but who should it?

I just checked, and Remember Me isn't checked for Bob. Which is additionally odd, because I couldn't login as Bob, but when I reused the activation URL, I was able to get into Bob's profile. I sent an admin email to confirm the password.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Bob is such a troublemaker. Vampires.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Connie, I just reset Bob's password.

Thank you! And I just rebooted, and when I came here it knew who I was. I feel so loved.

It\'s not easy being green...

Heh. So I load up Mozilla this morning, and discover the system now remembers me as Phred.
