it's very boring to have to enter my login and password all the times I access this forum. Is there any solution? The link I put int the previous post does not help anything?

Kleyber,

I have not found a solution for it yet.

I was thinking to install the most recent phpbb in a different folder of the server and
then try to import the entire SQL backup file.

But I guess that all the addons that we have currently installed on our forums, should have
to be ported to the new phpbb version and we may need new versions of them too.

In the meantime, if we could find the right flag to set from phpbb admin panel so we can restore the old and very usefull functionality,
that would be great :-)

Antonio,

The link I put in the previous post does not show you anything about this problem?

I hope you can find the solution.

Kleyber,

We are not using the latest phpBB version as we use several mods (source code with syntax highlighting, etc) that we don't have for the latest phpBB.

so unfortunately that url that you provided me is not of help :-(

I just changed the cookie domain according to this:

https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.1/kb/article/fixing-incorrect-cookie-settings/

I changed the setting from the attached screenshot to forums.fivetechsupport.com

lets see if that make a difference

It is still requiring login each time for me, Antonio.

My sympathies for you having to deal with this.

James,

Yes, I am testing it and noticed that the problem remains there.

Inspecting the cookie with chrome, I just realized a tapatalk error reported by Chrome, so I have emailed tapatalk tech support
as they are very good phpbb experts and hopefully they may help us

Dear friends,

I think it is solved!!! :-)

Could you please check it and confirm it ?

many thanks!

I had to copy a php.ini and change a value in php.ini in the forums root folder:
request_order = "GPC"

at first it was even worse for me. It would act like it was logging me in and then go right back to previous not logged in status.
I cleared my History/Cache/Cookies and now I am able to login again.
The world is ok again :)
Thanks

Sometimes I am still not logged in when I return to the site. It seems in the morning I always have to login.

Running windows 8.1 and IE.

On Safari with OS X 10.11.3 is perfect.
Thanks a lot.
