Login problem to mozillazine

Post by BruceAWittmeier »

I am experiencing an issue with logging into mozillazine. My login name and pw are selectable from the text boxes. I log in, it shows logged in in the right side column. Then flashes and asks me to log in again. The only way I can get logged in is to set it to automatic which I don't prefer. I've cleared cache and cookies.
Suggestions?
I often take a long windy road to my destination. Upon arrival, I wonder how I missed the shortcut.

Unfortunately, automatic is the only way,

This has something to do with the update from http to https. The only way to make the login "stick" is to check the "automatically log me in" box, or whatever the text reads. Nothing we can do about it.

I'll leave this here for now, but it may end up getting moved to Site Discussion if others pipe in on it. Just FYI...

Please do not PM me for personal support. Keep posts here in the Forums instead and we all learn.

FYI: Checking to stay logged in does not work. It logged me out anyway and then refused to let me log back in with good credential. The system needs help.
