Forum Bug Report / Suggestions

[hmoeller]

I noticed that the forum doesn't automatically log me in; I have to log in manually every time I disconnected from and reconnected to the internet (since my ip address changes every time I connected to the internet).

That's weird.

phpbb has the option to disable permanent logins to increase security. Also, session validation can be based on IP address (full IP or part of it, so if you stay in the same subnet your session may continue).

It is good practice to use a local (non-cloud!) password container like keepass with a strong key phrase that holds various passwords for your online sites, especially when visiting forums that may be in the legal gray zone.
