I was looking through the different options for forum software and I was wondering why the Xojo team chose to move to esoTalk instead of sticking to phpbb.
esoTalk and phpBb are both awesome! It seems there are plugins that could enhance Xojo which the Xojo forums are not using, for example signatures.
I was wondering also if Wordpress is a good platform to use to base a software business off of. I know it can be risky basing your business off of somebody else’s platform. I also am wondering about how many people are basing there website on Wordpress?

Have cookies enabled?
I am using Safari on OSX, and have no issue with it remembering my creditials[/quote]
I’m a Chrome guy, get same issue when I bounce between my Mac, PC @ work and Android tablet. I do use IE and Safari from time to time but I have to have IE9 at work and starting to get “unsupported browser” from some SaaS apps now!
One thing I do like about esotalk is it is based on Bootstrap and is responsive so works on my iPhone et al rather nicely!

It won’t remember your credentials if you jump machines as the cookie ‘Keep me logged in’ will be on the machine you ticked it on. Also when you swap machines you will get logged out because you have changed IP address. This is a security feature to stop session hijacking etc. Therefore as a function of being logged out your ‘Keep me logged in’ cookie will be set as expired otherwise you would still be logged in. I don’t think its a bug or resolvable without removing the security features.
PS - The above is not fact but what I suspect based on my experience of this type of user authentication

That might be safari having put your credentials in your keychain
I get logged out all the time on Safari on OS X but logging back in is simple because safari does put the user name & pwd in the keychain

I can live with that, but it happens when I just use one browser all day at work, come back an hour later, get that nice message telling me forums have been updated, refresh and poof, have to login again. That is just a PITA sadly.
Other than that I quite like these new forums.
