vBulletin ver 3.8 beta ?

[Anole]

I upgraded us to vBulletin 3.8.0 Beta 1

This didn't get any play in four days inside another thread, so I thought it needed its own thread. . .

. . ., every time I come in to check on things, I have to log in again.
Is that a side effect?
If so , that -is- critical !

later: also just confirmed another problem I had a few hours ago.
A sent PM doesn't show up in my outgoing PM box (no, it's not full)
When I sent one just now and it didn't show, I backed up the browser and methodically re-sent it.
Nada. Nothing in the out box. Strange.
I have no idea if it was sent or not.

Turns out, the default is to NOT SAVE outbound messages.
I turn it on, I get to save that one... but it doesn't seem to be a sticky setting.

What I'd like is to be done with this incessant sign-in problem, and some way to reset the default to save outbound messages.
If there is a setting somewhere for either, I've not found it.
And I've looked.
Maybe they hid it. Wouldn't be the first time!

Thanks.

did you click the "remember me" check box when you logged in?

I had to log in the first time, but not since.

If it still don't remember you then clear your SatelliteGuys cookies as one is corrupt.

Thanks.

That is the way it should be.....

little by little

Hadn't had to tell the forum to remember me in years.
The suggestion above seems to be working. Thanks.

That's not the way it's worked in the three years I've been here.
The forum always saved the outbound message.

Yes and it has alway been a pain in the A$$ to try and remember to uncheck the save so that it doesn't save unwanted copies of messages

I am glad that vBulletin changed it so it does not automatically save them PM's.

On many sites like ours there are thousands of PM's sent each week, the majority of the people sending them never realized that when they sent them they were being saved. So for those users they don't care about them, and for us sysadmins it saves us a lot of disc space and also keeps down on overflowing the database.
