Anyone using Safari 4?

Anyone using Safari 4? I don't know if it's my setup but Safari 4 seems to log me out of DVDTalk after a while. It used to keep me logged in all the time.

A cookie keeps you logged in to any vBulletin forum like this one.

The cookie is not handled properly if you get logged out with 'remember me' checked.

Check your settings, or check for bug notes and workarounds on that specific version of Safari.

I guess I wasn't checking the "Remember Me" checkbox. Was that always there?

By the way, if you log in checking that box the board actually creates 2 cookies - bbusername and bbpassword.

Not checking that box these cookies are not created. I never heard of a site storing your username and password as cookies. At least I would never code a site that way.

Every site I know of with log ins does it that way.
