Hi All,
I saw this in another thread and as you still apprear to have the problem here I thought I would post a solution I found that fixed my own site.
You modify web.config with this
Add this line
<machineKey validationKey="xxxxxxxxx" decryptionKey="xxxxxxxxx" validation="SHA1" />
directly within the <system.web> region of web.config (it can't be within another region within system.web). Set validationKey, decryptionKey, and validation on this line to match the corresponding values for MachineValidationKey, MachineDecryptionKey, and MachineValidationMode in the <appSettings> region.
The above was taken form this thread on CS Forums
http://communityserver.org/forums/5/509974/ShowThread.aspx
It fixed my site so hopefully it will fix this one
Thank you Joe, I really appreciate your help tracking down the solution!
I have applied the change (just now) so hopefully it solves the issue.
Fixed the problem for me at least! Yea!
Edit: I may have spoken too soon! :(
Sorry to be a pain guys but the "remember me" functionality is still not working for me. No matter how recently I have logged into the forum it still wants to forget the fact that I was logged in.
It's not a huge effort to log in again but this issue is still not resolved yet.
Is anyone else still having problems with this?
Cheers

Yes, I'm still having problems with this as well.

It is most certainly not working. I tried the fix posted earlier and it appears to have had no impact, so obviously it must be another problem...
I'm (more or less) on vacation this week, but next week I'll email the CS 2.0 guys about this and about the mail gateway crashing issues and see if they have any answers.
Guys your quite right on this site it still appears that it's not working.
Rocky one other thing to check is the cookie settings you can find them in the admin control panel under Membership/Cookie and Anonymous Settings
I did change mine to my domain name in the cookie domain field.
The guys having trouble it might also be worth trusting this domain as it may be that your browser is not allowing the cookie creation?

My login is now working. I didn't need to change IE cookie settings, it just worked.
Crispin
Working for me now too, with no changes to my browser.
Thanks.

I don't know why it would be getting worse - but your issue with the cookies not being deletable seems odd and probably indicates an issue on your machine. I am able to delete the cookies and they don't come back until I return to the forums.
Now why the remember me function only seems to last for a couple hours and isn't permanent I just don't know, and haven't had time to research.
With the help of the CS guys I think the remember me function is finally resolved and should be working (keeping my fingers crossed).
This function not working seems to be affecting users of various applications based on ASP.NET 2.0. It seems that it is NOT a CommunityServer.org specific issue (users of DotNetNuke.com are reporting same problem when using the ASP.NET 2.0 edition of that application). It seems that basically a "feature" that existed in ASP.NET 1.1 is now fixed so that it actually works, where it was ignored before. I can't verify this myself, but suggest the following:
In web.config,
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".CommunityServer" protection="All" timeout="60" />
</authentication>
The "timeout" is now honored in ASP.NET 20, where it was ignored in ASP.NET 1.1. Time is in minutes, so cookie only last 60 mins. If it was changed to say a week (10080 minutes) or something...
