| | Posted: | | | | I've noticed that since I've went to my new PC and Vista after I log out the next time come this web site:
That with Foxfire I do not have to log in , I already logged in,
but W/Internet Explorer I do.
Anybody else notice this? | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | Since I noticed this, even if I checked the keep signed in box when I signed out I had to sign in again the next time. But not now, I usually use Foxfire. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | Ah, I follow. If you sign out, you always have to sign back in. Always. It's the same way with pretty much every web (and non-web) application in existence. To not require a person to log back in after they log out is a major security violation (imagine banking websites doing this). |

| | Posted: | | | | No I don't have too sign in with Foxfire, but I do with Internet Explorer.
But I'm not really signed in all the time it would appear.
I logged out on both browsers.
The I used the Internet Explorer to access the the site, but didn't log in, I went to the forum page and 0I was not listed.
Then I used Foxfire to access the the site, it indicated I was logged in on the home page.
I checked the Internet Explorer, doing a refresh, still not logged in.
Went back to the Foxfire and accessed the forum page and I was listed.
Then I refreshed the Internet Explorer forum page and there I was listed.
I never signed in with either browser.
The internet Explorer home page still has the signi requwst at the top on the page.
But Foxfire always comes up with my alias and signout button on the hhome page.
Ha.
This did not used to happen before I bought the new PC w/Vista, the 2nd of September.
I always had to sign in, no matter what.
I'll admit it is convenient. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | The signout button deletes the auto-signin cookies, or tries to. Perhaps the cookie delete isn't functioning right in this case in FireFox on Vista? | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | When you signed out, did you click on the following button located in the top right-hand side of your window or did you simply close the browser?  |

| | Posted: | | | | Do to the above tests, it would appear that I'm signed out, but with Foxfire I just don't have to sign in. Entering the site and going to the first item on the web page is enough. unlike XP I don't know my way around Vista (where they hide everythig), I've been to busy updating everything.
It's no big deal, but when things work one way for so many years, you notice when they change. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

It's no big deal, but when things work one way for so many years, you notice when they change. firefox can remember your sign in details and automatically apply them for you. All that is happening is that when you return to the site (after logging out) is that firefox logs you in again. I'm surprised you haven't noticed this before at all your sites you visit..  | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, Foxdire and Internet Explorer both can sign you in, but only if you go to the page where it asks gfor the sign in, data.
I'm using explorer now and it didn't provide the name and password until I went to the sign in page, Foxfire used to work that way also. On Foxfire I don't even have go to the sign in page, I'm signed as soon on the home page. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | I manually went to Foxfire using the it's tool box and cleared the cookies and that did the trick.
Back to normal, I test it some more different ways and see what happens. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | It appears to be working now, both signing in and signig in and keep signed in.
When I sign out both ways it resets the cookies, but Invelos is the only set of cookiies there so who knows after I get lot of cookies in the mix. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | Odd. Firefox only populates the login User ID and password for me, I still have to click the submit button. |
