When I log on this board I check the 'remember me' box, but when I come back I need to log in again. The remember me function isn't working??? Anyone else having this problem?? This can occur when I've cleaned out my catch, but it's not the case this time. All others work fine...

Sorry I can't help. I stopped using Chrome for anything I login to when some NSFW links auto-synced with my work rig's Chrome, after just a web-based Gmail login, and as I recall, it kept the account tied-in after logging out of Gmail.
That's about when I started caring...Comment

The problem is that HTTPS enforcement on this site is broken and it affects the way cookies/sessions are handled.
So, what probably happened is you logged into https://www.calguns.net and eventually you'll end up back at the unencrypted site and the cookie doesn't persist.
To fix this:
Delete all of your old cache and cookies (totally, or only related to Calguns).
Remove all entries in your history that pertain to Calguns so they are never offered as a suggestion in the address bar.
Log back into Calguns using the http:// (no "s") version of the site.
Your login should then persist if you check the remember box.Last edited by Fizz; 08-07-2018, 5:34 AM.Comment

The site has a valid cert, Apache isn't configured properly for URL rewrites and https enforcement.
It's been a problem for years and the admins either know and don't care, or don't know.
The problem is that things like PMs and login hashes are sent in plaintext. So, any private details in PMs can be read by someone in the communication path. It also lends itself to session jacking.
The content of forums/etc. Are already public so posts aren't a huge concern, but cookies, PMs and password hashes are the real vulnerability.Comment
