How can I keep users logged in permanently

If you click Remember Me, it will only remember your login in the cookie for 30 days in the specific browser you're using in that same computer/device.

Even if you modified the php code to remember the cookie for years, the user will still be logged out if the cookie is deleted.

I tried already, but practically, it doesn't keep me logged in for 30 days only 15 minutes. Is there a problem in my server?

Do you allow users to login to your site via both http://www.yoursite.com and just http://yoursite.com? If so, then you MUST have your cookie domain (AdminCP > Settings > Options > Cookies and HTTP Header Options > Cookie Domain) set to ".yoursite.com" (no quotes, but note the period at the beginning) or your users will have problems.

It is already set to ".sandroses.com" before.

Have you checked the uptime of your mysql server? If that goes down, all the sessions get dropped.

They shouldn't be lost on vb5. The session table should be INNODB.

I checked the mysql uptime and I think it is fine:

mysql> SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Uptime';
+---------------+---------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+---------+
| Uptime | 2663102 |
+---------------+---------+
1 row in set (0.04 sec)

I have this issue too on my 2 forums ..

My forums keeps me logged in for only 30 minutes, although I click Remember Me !!

[sandrose]

There is no solution.

Delete your cookies, all of them, and try again. This happens when cookies get corrupted or duplicated which happens frequently with browsers.

However with a cookie based system like vBulletin's, there is no way to guarantee 100% login. The cookie system simply isn't designed that way.
