1) The other member with a similar issue reported that their buttons are back to normal.. How are yours?

2) Can you expand a bit on what you mean by "without going through a hassle"?

At the bottom the forum page is the user bar:  

  Clicking this button allows you to switch accounts on the same forum (assuming you have more than one account)

 Clicking this button allows you to switch forum accounts (i.e. change from the account on your forum to the account on Support)


Both of the the above buttons work for all accounts that are linked on the same Global Account.  There is no need to log out of one account and into another.

Note: currently these buttons are not showing on your forum due to the scavenger hunt plugin.

Not back to normal. When I get logged out it is a hassle to get into my own board. On other PB boards I just click lock in and I am in. The problem is not getting into the other PB it is only mine. Is there a way that I can just click log in and I am in

pitszal , this sounds like a browser issue then as it's generally the browser that stores login information for sites (unless you have third-party app/program that does this.)

You might check out these links for help in this matter:

how to get safari to remember login and password after I said do not remember

[pitszal]

Ok I think i did what you said ^ but I still have to fill in the user name and psd. With others I just click in log in. On this site ( Support) I just click log in and I am in. How do I get the same

[Scott]

Your browser should save the login information based on the site's URL. If it used to work on your forum then it's possible this information was deleted and/or your browser was told to not store login information for your forum's URL.

The links I sent you should have covered both instances.

Make sure AutoFill is turned on: Choose Safari > Preferences, click AutoFill, then make sure “User names and passwords” is selected.

Remove the “never saved” status: If you told Safari never to save the password for this website (by clicking Never in the dialog that appeared when you first signed into it), your password can’t be saved until you remove that status. Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Passwords. In the list, select the website (“never saved” should appear next to it), then click Remove. source

[pitszal]

Make sure AutoFill is turned on: It is on

“User names and passwords: is there

Remove the “never saved” status: I do not see where that is

IF you have your forum's URL set as never saved it will show when you click on the passwords icon in the preferences for safari. If you don't see it there, then that's not the issue.

When I log into my board I have to put admin in the box and then it shows psd (dots) I click then I am logged in. How do I get it that when I click login (like here) that I can eliminate that and it logs me right in?

[Scott]

If you log into your forum first and then come to support, clicking the login here will automatically let you in because of the global account system that used the same login information, the site sees the cookie and knows you are already logged in. If you came to support first and then to your site, it would let you in, in the manner you described. At some point you have to log in at least once.

Hope this makes sense.

[pitszal]

I think you misunderstood me. I meant I would like to click login in on MY board and skip the procedure and get right in.

What I mean was when you click log in on Support it lets you right in. I would like the same procedure on my board.

It sounds like Scott understood you perfectly.

If you're logged into your global account and you attempt to log into any forum where you only have one account you'll be logged into the forum automatically without being prompted for a username or password. Since you only have one account here on ProBoards Support you're logged in automatically when you click the Login link. The same should be the case for your forum since your only account there is the main admin account.

The only time you should ever be prompted to log in again is if you explicitly logged out of the forum by clicking the Logout link as that logs you out of your global account.

If this is indeed a corrupted Safari user profile cache problem (as in this similar report Safari Blue Question Mark on Pictures) then it might make sense it could selectively affect corrupted cached entries for which it can no longer save persisted data as well.
(note: this is the profile cache not the browser cache that is corrupted)

Oh! I see sorry! Now I understand. Thank you so much Brian Scott and Cris. Much appreciated.
