Login Cookie not sticking?

Ever since the announcement about the DNS change, the login cookie that used to stay forever, now is acting weird.

Yes the (x) box is ticked.

I open the page after several hours and I see at the top "Hey, a2capt, you have xxx messages, .. " so I know I'm logged in. But when I click "show unread posts since last visit" I get presented with the login screen instead, and it says "Guest" at the top now.

I've not run into this with other SMF sites.

I had similar weirdness yesterday.

Ditto. Haven't had the problem today though.

I've had that problem too. I just had it happen to me before typing this post.

Okay, good. At least it's a "Lets blame Safari" problem. ;)

It just did it again,  for laughs and craps, I changed the '60'  to '9999' and then ticked the box.

On one ancient SMF install it used to do that when selected.

the thing is, on first load it shows that login is valid, and it's only when links are used from that page. It's not cache content either, as this site always refreshes, and looking at the contents of the window, it is obvious it's current data.

It's a problem several forums are reporting in the past couple days.  I made a couple changes, maybe one of them will help. :)

It just did it again, this time it started out as "guest", so perhaps that was because something changed. We'll see.

yes, I reset all of the cookies.

Well, it did it again during a reply to a post, using the quick reply. The (Post) button gave me the login screen. Twice in succession.
