The members are still there though, they are still posting and their new posts are fine.

That's why I'm worried. Could it be an exploit or something? I updated to the latest version yesterday hoping that will resolve the problem.

[DFC005]

I'm not so worried about fixing it, I'm more worried as to why it's happening. It's a vanilla install with no mods installed.

I've got a weird problem that has just popped up in one of the forums I manage. Suddenly, for no particular reason, a bunch of users posts are appearing as from guests. But the user is still there and...

Yup, sounds exactly like the problem I'm having. So it's a problem with the new salt is that what I can gather? Someone mentions there is a salt refreshing script? Do I need to run that?

[DFC005]

Salt refreshing script? Where do I find this?...

[DFC005]

Has anyone posted this as Bug yet?

[DFC005]

Out of curiosity, are you using 3.8.5 or greater?...

[DFC005]

I'll add another voice to this problem. I too am having some users getting logged out after what seems to be the session timeout expires. Was fine before the upgrade to 3.8.5. Would LOVE a resolution...

I've got the same problem. My side scripts use the vB login and now my users are appearing as not being logged in, despite still be logged in. Any fixes for this?

[DFC005]

What did you do to fix it?

[DFC005]

Yeah. It's quite confusing. Especially since not everyone is getting it....

Just to add to this.... My "Path to Save Cookies" is "/" and my "Cookie Domain" is "(blank)". My forum used to be in the root but is now in a folder called "community"....

I'm having some trouble with my forum of late after doing a site redesign.

Some users are finding themselves being logged out after x amount of time. This x amount of time generally corresponds...

Should I assume that VB4 will be less server intensive than VB3 due to it being newer and most likely using smarter and leaner coding?

We currently use VB3 and have a large user base which...

[DFC005]

Touché.

Thanks for that. I just saw that screen and thought, "Those details are correct, what's the problem?!".

All working now.

[DFC005]

That's set correctly. But it still tells me it's using the database rather than file system. Is there somewhere you can switch it over?

[DFC005]

Is it possible to change this? It's currently set to being served from the database but I want to serve it from the filesystem.

Can't find it anywhere....

[DFC005]

Yeah but considering it's not officially released, I assumed I'd still have access to the old version until such time. Anyway....
