I HATE this!

Actually, I have found that vbulletin doesn't destroy any of my posts if I get logged out. You enter your logn details and lo and behold, your post is submitted.

Also, login directly to the UserCP page and check the "remember me" box. Works fine for me.

It is a useful work around but it should not be required.  I got out of the habit years ago when this was fixed in the old system..

Seriously, log out on purpose then go to User CP

You'll get a login form in the main panel that includes the "remember me" option. Tick it, log in and you are done. You won't get logged out from that machine again until you decide to, even if you log in from a different machine during the meantime (unless you explicitly log out on the different machine, that is).

If you do get logged out again, it's because something has thrown away your cookie.

Trust me, I was logged in permanently from my home machine since the new site went live. I've only ever logged out recently to test stuff.

@ Karlos
You are a moderator - I am sure you have different settings!
You may notice my posting has dropped way off. This is the very reason why. It just plain silly how fast we are logged off now.

Correction. I am a moderator now, I wasn't one for a good while after the new site went live and I had no such issues then, either.

Please try logging in via the method above. The default login box doesn't seem to provide the "remember me" option, but the one that appears when you try to access the UserCP without being logged in does:

@Karlos

Moderator eh?

Congratulations dude.
Hope this doesn't mean the Amiga.org logo is going to change as often as your avatar though.

Have no fear. Moderators can only moderate, not tinker with the actual site layout. My becoming a moderator wasn't as a result of the site needing any additional moderators, as I'm sure you'll agree the existing mods do a fine job. Wayne made me a moderator whilst the site was being migrated from xoops as it allowed me to access certain features of the site that were important while testing and migrating the old content.

Damn. First thing I don't like about the new website - the old smileys are gone. They're the first ones I really used, and the only ones I ever liked: all the other website smileys just looks cheesy (eg - See!).

Awwwww! :sulk:

Actually, most of the smileys are the same. There's just a few new ones.

EDIT: Wait a minute... WAAAAIT a minute - no pint ( :pint: ) anymore?!?!

:drink: <- (drink, not pint)

But... they're all shaded and stuff. And the eyebrows, man...

Hang on, you have a HSV wheel in your avatar and you are complaining that something else is shaded?
