For the last several days, when I go to the PG Music forums on my iPhone, it does not remember me and I have to login each time. This is new behavior.

Once I enter the first letter of my username, the rest of it pops in, and my password is filled in. Even though I check the checkbox to "Remember Me", it does not.

Anything change on your end a few days ago?

Matt

I tried deleting the PG Music cookie; thanks but unfortunately it did not cure this problem. However, I did get to blow away quite a few other cookies, so it was worth the effort!

I should add to the problem statement that I close all apps frequently (double click home button, swipe up app). If I don't do this for Safari, it does remember me. However, to save the battery, I always close apps when done. Until this gets solved, I will just leave Safari running as it is not a heavy draining app, comparatively.

Matt, just some info to help you with your troubleshooting, I tested with my iPhone and did not have a problem with Safari remembering me. I most often visit the forum using an iPad with Safari and the same operating system as the iPhone and have noticed no recent problems.

Thank you, Keith.

When I'm at the office I get the same thing. At home I use Firefox but the office uses IE and of course has a robust firewall and lots of AV going on.
We have an off site IT company and everything has to go through them so I'm not about to ask them about this.

I've given up trying to post at work, probably a good thing anyway, lol.

In my case, sorry, no.

I like to close all apps to conserve battery power, then click the Off button to put the iPhone 5S to sleep.

I have made an icon on the home screen of the Forum page for PG Music.

In the past, I could click on this icon and be taken to the list of forums, and be already logged in. It also remembered my preference of certain forums I have minimized, such as the international section.

Now, if I leave Safari running in the background, I am still logged in. But if I close the app then go to the Forums page, I have to enter the first letter of my Username. Then the rest of the username and also the password field are filled in. I check the Remember Me box and login. But it won't remember me next time IF I have closed Safari.

Hope that is clear. Thanks Andrew.

Hi Matt,

Could you now (on your iPhone) go to MyStuff | Cookies, and click Expire Cookies. Then log back in and see if it is fixed.

I just did that, and no change. If I close Safari, I still have to log back in to the BIAB forum.

Last night, I completely shut down my iPhone, then restarted it. That didn't help either.

This is only a small annoyance, but it is behavior that changed. Thanks.

Are you sure that cookies are not being blocked on your iphone. I think the setting is in Settings --> Safari --> Privacy...

I wonder if there is a way to view individual cookies on an iphone to see their expiration. If so, I would like to see if the v7ubbt_myid cookie is there and what the expiration date of it is.

Thanks for staying with this, Andrew.

I see individual cookies (hundreds, ouch!) but there is no way to examine the contents. I do have one for pgmusic.com but there is no cookie resembling v7ubbt_myid.

In the same area, I do have a setting for cookies blocked from third parties and advertisers. IOS 7.1 only gives you three choices for cookies: block always, never, or third party/advertisers. I have never changed this setting to my knowledge, and certainly not recently.

If cookies were blocked, would the site remember my data when I enter as little as the first letter of my username?

In the same area, I do have Do Not Track on, but again, it hasn't changed.

Matt

It is only showing you the sites that have cookies, not the individual cookies for each site. There may be a way to view individual cookies but I haven't tried it:

Right, that setting should not cause a problem, and doesn't in my testing.

It is not the site that is remembering this, it is Safari remembering form data.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
