log in not being held under some conditions

Hi Folks,

I mentioned this on another thread and was asked to report it here - I have seen a periodic issue where if I have been logged in from a device for a long period (months in the case of my iPad) - eventually I'm logged out (I'm guessing the cookie times out) - when I log back in, it only lasts for my session - going back and deleting my cookie, then logging back in all is good again.

The other thread is: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=89098289#post89098289

And my comment on that:

Ok - all a bit weird - I had the same problem before (on a couple of devices) - can suggest that anyone with this issue, delete the boards.ie cookies, log back in and try for a few days and see what happens...

On an iOS Device -

1. Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data.
2. Click on "Show All Sites" (at the end of the list)
3. Click on "Edit" (top right)
4. Find the entry for 'boards.ie'
5. Click on the red circle, the 'Delete'

PS @boards.ie devs - I _think_ there is an intermittent problem where the cookie has timed out, but isn't being removed - so when you log back in, you still have the timed out cookie - hence when you go back the next day you're logged out again.....

Thanks for letting us know, logging in/out multiple times a day, I've also noticed this myself occasionally. Will look into this when we get a chance.
