Why can't FAZ remember me ?

FAZ != FAO

And there I was wondering at first: "Hmm, Spin was in FAZ? He never told me." /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

We got to waay to many acronyms.
FYI it took me a year to figure out what ffs means.

BTW mystery solved. I disconnect from the internet regularly.
If Invision boards rely on IP for added security then there's nothing I can do except request a permanent IP from my ISP, which I don't want.

I think this security measure is overkill but if it's the IP then it's not worth bothering to fix.

Thanks for all the help fellow allegites !

Its not IP.

I have dynamic IP and it doesn't log me out.

I give up. If it's not the dynamic IP I don't even care anymore wtf is the cause.
Well, the invision board system is almost perfect in every other way ...

ImmortalZ, are you perhaps behind a NAT system? Or a sane dynamic system that gives you the same IP most of the time?

I am quite convinced it is IP, because I have seen the same behavior, and moving a computer to a new IP address seems to be enough to be logged out.

I'm behind NAT. But my public IP changes.

Oh wait, its based on the local IP?

A lot of guessing here but it should be based on your public ip, i.e. whatever gets picked up by DynDNS, etc.

The only time I have to re-log is if my external IP has changed, actually I use to use the fact that I had to re-log in as an indicator that my IP had changed. I now use DynDNS.

My public IP changes every time I reconnect - and I reconnect several times a day. It can't be based on that - I haven't relogged in ages!

Nope, something with the cookies is broken...

Some are 15 months valid, others 1 month (wiki) and some never expire. /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />
