Hello everyone,

There's possibly a bug in the site. I open Firefox, log in with my account and save the password. The problem is that when I close Firefox and open it again, I'm not logged in! Is it normal, for security reasons, or is it really a bug?

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.8 at Ubuntu 7.10.

Cheers.

I would rather say that you did not save the cookies and therefore are not logged in when entering site.

I didn't remove any cookies.

Here are the ones that were saved:

Is anything missing or not being saved?

o_O There is no bug, this behaviour is expected. If you don't check the "remember login" checkbox in your profile, your session will expire if you close the browser.
The cookies you see are for the forums, not the site.

Oh yeah, you're right. I just didn't see that option! Thanks, it's selected.
