On some of my computers or devices (PCs, iPhone, iPad) my browser does not remember me and I have to log in every time. It only happens on the PG Music Forum.
I normally use Chrome. What setting am I missing? Thanks!

Happens to me also on different computers, never really figure out the what or why of it - just kept fighting and adjusting cookies and configurations. Right now running very well on Chrome on this machine.
AND check the box on PG forum to remember you on first log in after
probably won't help you, but others may need to do a little "house cleaning"

PS You haven't told Chrome to not allow cookies or have MWB or your other "A/V's" set to block those???

Good refresher, thanks. I suspect it is some browser setting that got reset rather than malware settings, but I haven't found it yet. And some of my devices / PCs are fine.

It happens to me at the office but there we have everything including the internet and VOIP going through a server run by an offsite IT company. We only use IE. Even then other websites that need logins remember me but this one doesn't.
What I have to do consists of two steps. First is the standard login but that isn't enough. As soon as I click on the Forum tab I'm logged out but at least then I can access the My Stuff tab and get prompted to log in again. Once I've done that it's good.
Doesn't matter how many times I click on Remember Me. Close that browser tab, I have to login two times again. I've always assumed it's to do with our IT security.
Anywhere else no problem. I've been on vacation in Mexico and used other computers and the login is remembered.
Thanks, Bob. I should also have mentioned this started fairly recently, maybe a month now.
It happens on Safari on my iPhone but not on Chrome on my same iPhone. It does not happen (it remembers me) on my iPad Air 2. It happens on my laptop on all browsers, but not on either desktop. Weird.

how about your temporary internet cache and\or browsing history

Browsers are currently changing. Depending on which update of a given browser you are running (which is affected by the OS on a given device) the security settings affect what you can/cannot 'remember'. So Chrome/FF/IE/Safari may act differently on one system to another even with the latest updates.
Currently in Chrome (on this machine) I get the notice in the image below. This means Chrome is not going to save this login unless I make security exceptions, etc.
The browser knows you are sending credentials over an un-secure connection = not a good idea to store this information .. Just another day/challenge for us web developers. Some browser versions have a pop up warning when you click into the text box to log in also.
Once people start realizing this, SSL demand will rise. Feel free to contact me if you need a deal on an SSL certificate. <grin> We saw this coming.

Right, it's all about security as I talked about in my thread in the S.O.S. forum.
With all the crap that is going on literally ALL THE TIME this is the world we live in. I just read another article where it said we are at war right now. Cyberwar.
Due to all these threats we're just going have to live with some of these inconveniences because all the different tech companies are under huge pressure to stay on top of it.
With a public that is largely clueless. Like a certain campaign manager during the last election using "password" for his email password. I'm sure there are many millions just like him right now.
rainbow tables That's probably enough to try to get your head around for now ..
Security; it ain't easy. password P@ssword 1234 Password1 username1!
.. there's tons of obvious easy ones then comes the keystroke pattern ones .. type easy password, then hold shift and type it again. An infamous example of this is 9i0o(I)O .. looks complicated until you type it. Once you know it, it can be typed extremely fast! .. but it's not a good password .. I see this stuff daily.

This is hilarious. For the first time EVER, I just got home from dinner, opened the forum and I'm not logged in! When I clicked on the login I see a little box saying my connection is not secure with my username in a little box at the bottom. I click on that and I'm back at the login window with everything filled in. All I did was click "Remember Me" and Login.
What timing, eh? Something changed just this afternoon.
We should be able to fix these issues. For some reason, I've never had this problem on any browser.

Since it sounds like you have the problem with Firefox or Chrome on one PC, could you take a look at the pgmusic.com v7ubbt cookie, and see what it says for expiry date after logging in with "remember me" selected? Also is it valid for any type of connection? I say Firefox or Chrome because I don't know if there's an easy way to view/search individual cookies on Edge.
Hi Bob,

I suspect this has to do with somehow accessing the login page from a different url than http://www.pgmusic.com/forums The first time, it's probably redirecting you to the proper url.
Could you tell me what the exact url is? Including the http: part.

I remember being shown a survey in a class once where the top 4 passwords used were password, secret, love and sex.
Some people make them so hard they have to write them down and put it under the mouse pad. (Yeah. Nobody will EVER look THERE!!)
And the ones who think they are cute.... I was driving last week and got a text I HAD to answer right away, so I pulled into a parking lot to reply. As I sat there, a network popped up named Dumbledore. On a whim, I tried HarryPotter as the password, and boom. I connected.
But on topic, I ALWAYS use Chrome and I sync across devices, so any device I pick up has my stored passwords, cookies, bookmarks.... Love Chrome!
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023? 2. Send it to us.
Hi Andrew. I'm at the office now and just logged in. What I wrote earlier isn't correct. What I have to do is click on Forums then login. Then immediately to go My Stuff which requires me to log in again. Then I'm good. If I login the first time then click Forums, I'm logged out. I can login again, click on Forums again and again I'm logged out. The key is to log in first then click My Stuff and log in again from there. Then it works. I checked out the url for both login's and it was the same. http:/pgmusic.com/forums
Just to make sure I closed the browser completely and did the process again and that's how it works.

That sounds great Eddie but then how secure is Chrome? Everything I've read lately about hackers and security is you can't trust any browser to protect your passwords, you need a dedicated password manager for that.

Thanks for the additional info. I think the issue is that somehow you are able to browse the site at pgmusic.com instead of www.pgmusic.com. Perhaps your browser may have a very old 301 redirect cached. What browser/verison is this? I would be interested to know if clearing your browser cache (if you are willing to do that) and restarting your browser solves that problem. It would be possible to address it from the forum software side by allowing alternate urls, but it is desirable to address the more fundamental issue (everybody should be on www.pgmusic.com).
.. well to be fair, if it is a 301, it IS labeled Permanent .. /ducking for cover <grin>
One old trick for this is to dis-associate the Null record to the website in the Bindings (thus causing an error) and then tell that error message (for that site) to redirect to the correct URL. It ain't pretty, but it appears seamless to the user. Soon they cache or bookmark the correct URL and this 'fix/hack' is needed less and less.

Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
