Is it just me?

Login status and posts read color (greyed out) are not persistent between browser sessions.

To be clear.. when I close a browser session I am logged out automatically and with a new session, it's as if I haven't read a post on any board.

I have double-checked and I cannot repeat that, so it might be idiosyncratic/rare/weird-browser-behaviour.

Technically, the URL (particular details in the URL parameters) to view posts is identical whether logged in or not. So it definitely won't change between logged in and not logged in. I also cannot make them change between two login sessions (closing browser completely, re-opening), and browsers don't normally to that. Test condition: Close the browser completely, restart it, and log in again - I have the same greyed out links as before.

BTW: Grey links (visits colour) only appear for board posts themselves. I keep all the other links (top menu, etc) always the same blue for aesthetics.

I'm getting it, too. My login status is also not retained between sessions - each time I open the browser window, I have to log in again.

Post read/unread color persists between sessions, though.

<<I'm getting it, too. My login status is also not retained between sessions - each time I open the browser window, I have to log in again.>>

This is a known behaviour, and will remain off my short-term list. I will implement that further down.

<<Post read/unread colour persists between sessions, though.>>

That was what the actual thread is about, and you are confirming what I'm seeing - there no known problem.

Update: I have tested this behavior on two laptops running Windows 10, one laptop dual boots with Linux Mint 21.1. The OS and browsers are up to date.

OS    Browser    Grey/read  Grey/new session  
Linux    Brave    yes    no
Linux    Firefox    no    no
Windows    Brave    yes    no
Windows    Firefox    yes    no
Windows    Edge    yes    yes

So, I guess it's just me unless I use the Microsoft Edge browser which I am loath to do. Thanks for looking into this.
