    Do you think you could remove the following lovely "Feature". Whenever I get an email from the udoo forums that a new reply has been made to a thread I am subscribed and I click on the link to view it it makes me log in to see it. This is really annoying, especially on a smartphone with a tiny keyboard. Very ironic that the only other forum that does this out of the many I am subscribed to is the Raspberry Pi forum, who are currently looking into how to fix it.

    I think it has something to do with your phone messing with the cookies.. thats usally how forums know if your logged in or not.

    Still shouldn't do that. Someone else, who isn't even registered, could look at the thread, yet he's being notified and can't look at it without logging in. Doesn't make any sense.

    I assume clicking the checkbox during login that says "Keep me logged in" doesn't work?

    The issue is that every time I get a message in Yahoo and click on it to read it I have to log into UDOO to read it. Tomorrow I will have to do the same thing. The next day I will have to do the same thing. There are almost no forums that require this and I have subscription notifications with several. Just annoying, that's all.

    Weird. I have Yahoo mail, and this happens whether I use the Yahoo app on my smartphone, Yahoo from within Chrome on my smartphone, or Yahoo from Windows IE from my desktop computer, or any other combination, but only with the UDOO and Raspberry Pi forums. Do both web sites use the same bulletin board software (Maybe phpBB?) and is that the common denominator. I am pretty sure it has never happened on any vBulletin powered forums.
