Hi,
I have the following situation here:
In my forum are two users (me and another) who use the forum from work and home and we have the same problem. If we log in at one place, lets say at work, we can use the forum without a problem. If we come back later we are still logged in, as it should be. But when we are at home, where we were logged in the evening before and everything worked fine, the cookie at home is not longer working. So we have to relogin there. But the next morning the cookie at work is gone and another login at work. Bu this destroys the cookie at home ..... and so on.
My question is now why is this so? In other forums I have no problem to use a cookie at home and work and at both places the cookie works. So is this a FUDForum issue?
Thanks in advance,
HS-78.

This is actually intentional ans is done for security reasons to prevent account take overs.
When you logen in from a computer all cookies and sessions that are from other computers are invalidated, thus preventing 2 users being logged in at the same time on the same account.

The forum is designed to accomodate most situations, I understand that in your situation it may not be the most convenient implementation, but in most cases it offers the security necessary to prevent account take overs.
I'll see how the code is implemented and if it can be easily altered to accomodate situations such as you've described, no promises though.

In the CVS release (if you have it installed) you can find this option near the bottom of the options on the admglobals.php admin panel. That is the control panel you see when you click on the 'Admin Control Panel' link.
