The issue wasn't affecting you?
You may also want to check
Session IP validation:
Determines how much of the users IP is used to validate a session; All compares the complete address, A.B.C the first x.x.x, A.B the first x.x, None disables checking. On IPv6 addresses A.B.C compares the first 4 blocks and A.B the first 3 blocks.
You can try setting to A.B.
ACP->main page->security settings.

i didn't know it was an issue as i never use the auto login function.

i went to my site a couple of minutes ago and i was not logged in anymore, so i'm now waiting to see if the A.B. setting will work.

just checked on my site and auto login still don't work. but the cookie seems to remember the style information as i'm working on a new style and i have a different one for default and the style i'm working on came up instead of the default one. it's just not remembering the login.

If you are checking the 'Log me on automatically each visit' box when doing your login and it still doesn't work then it's your portal or one of the installed MOD causing the issue.

this happens if i use the board index login and the login link as well. but i'll remove the portal to see if it will fix it.
