Every time anyone starts a new browser session and goes to the forums they have to re-enter their login info even if they have previously checked the save login info box.. Ive messed with some of the settings but have not been successful.

Any solutions?

This is most likely a client side issue. Since the login info and so on would be saved in a cookie, if that cookie aka the browsers cache was deleted it would stop that feature from working. Also some browsers do not allow websites to store cookies or even allow the use of auto saving password.

Found a couple links that they help:

One common mistake that I see is for a forum to be at one domain but set to save cookies using a different one. In the phpBB ACP, go to Server configuration->Cookie settings and double-check that the domain there is set to what you are using to access the board.

This is my current Cookie settings in ACP

Cookie domain: c22.site.nfoservers.com

Cookie name: phpbb3_c22

Cookie path: /

I have played around with different variations of the above but it didnt change anything. And each time I changed a setting I cleared the cookies and restarted the browser.

I have also searched the phpbb forums and there are a few topics there but not really any solutions.

Is http://c22.site.nfoservers.com also the URL that you are using to access your forums?

If you just installed this forum and don't mind losing your posts and other data, I'd recommend reinstalling from scratch using our phpBB autoinstaller.

This actually was a install using the auto installer. But if we cannot find a solution we might just have to start from scratch.

That's odd, then. Did it work when the board was first installed? Is this the latest version of phpBB?

I had to talk to my friend who did the install and he said it never worked from the start.

Also, yes it seems to be the latest version of phpbb.
