    Maybe this is normal, but it appears a little odd.

    I have a client’s site that I built some time ago. They are running Evo and WebLoginPE (both up to date). The login form is accessible from a link that takes you to a separate page w/ the form. In Firefox, I can login in and select "forever". From there I can kill the browser and come back later and still be logged in (like expected).

    In ALL other browsers, I will still be logged in. However, when I click on a link to a secured page, I get redirected to the custom error page for secured pages (as if I wasn’t logged in). However, if I click the link to the login form, it will show me as logged in and I will then have access tot he secured pages.

    So basically, when I re-open the browser (while already logged in), I still have to go to the login form page to gain access to secure pages.

    This is all very trivial to me. But for some reason, my client decided after 2 years, they don’t like this behavior.

      I guess I could try to add the Personalize snippet, which should force the system to check login status?
      • Are you going in to the site with the same URL? Particularly www.domain.com and domain.com are treated as separate domains, and a login to one URL won’t be logged in to the other. I try to always have an .htaccess rule to force all requests to one or the other.

          I was originally hoping that was the issue, as it is an easy fix. However, it’s not the issue. Thanks for the help though.

            I added the personalize snippet and it was no help. The logged in message only shows after I go to the login form page, which is the same behavior for accessing the secured pages.
