login inconsistency between main page and forums

Post by Glenn E. »

This isn't a big issue, but it is something I've noticed since I read FTLOP from two different computers.

Let's say I've been reading FTLOP at work (hush, you!) and head home for the evening. After dinner I head to the computer and check for new posts.

I go to http://www.fortheloveofport.com first, and I'm still logged in. I click the Forum link, and the forums think I need to log in again. (I'm guessing this is because the cookies on the two computers aren't compatible in some way.) So I click on the provided "Login" link, which sends me back to the main page... which still thinks I'm logged in. I have to click Logout, THEN log back in, and then head to the forums before they will recognize that I'm logged in correctly.

When I get to work the next day the same thing happens.

So like I said... it's not a huge deal, but if my description makes you go "oh... right! I know how to fix that!" then there ya go. :)
