I am getting really frustrated with the number of times I now have to log in to the mendix site in order to use the Forum. I have a bookmark to https://forum.mendix.com/ in my browser. In the past it would remember my credentials and I would be logged in automatically, and could switch to support, or the app store and I would remain logged in. Now the situation is different. If I go to that url I am no longer logged in automatically - I have to click on the Log In link at the top of the page... that takes me to https://home.mendix.com/mxid/login where I enter my email address and password. I am then redirected to the Sprintr Home page at https://home.mendix.com/mux.html#sprintr/home. Not where I wanted to be, but at least I'm logged in ??? So I try to navigate to the Forum. I click on Community link and it opens a new tab and shows me as logged in. I click on the Forum link and suddenly I'm not logged in any more and I am again asked to enter my email address and password at https://mxid.mendix.com/mxid/login?a=forum&cont=/. Finally after entering my credentials again, I get to the Forum page and am logged in. Until I close the browser and then try to get to the Forum again, when I have to go through the whole cycle again. Can anything be done to improve this? Can it remember my credentials like it used to please?

Hi David,
I share your frustration. A ticket has been raised (12832) in the support portal for this issue. If https://home.mendix.com is the central point of departure (like explained at the introduction of the spring release) then single sing-on should work for all areas (sprintr, appstore, cloudportal, community\forum and supportportal).

I just tried in Chrome and IE8 and IE9. Same problem on all. WhenI try to log in on "a" Mendix page I end up on the Sprintr page and I have to open an additional tab to go to community and then to forum. On the forum page it "tells" me who I am, but it also shows "sign in" on top, instead of showing me signed in .
When I go to partners it DOES show me signed in again. So my guess it is something on the forumpages specificly ?

Strange, I do not have the problem when I go to the forum. I am logged in automaticly. But clicking on my name in the top right corner to edit my MxID profile will ask me for credentials. But once supplied I moving from there to the forum I stay logged in. Could it be browser related? I am using firefox 12 at the moment.
