Tinman Registered: 05/30/08 Posts: 359 Loc: Lake Forest, CA	I am somewhat confused and don't understand. With a lot of sites I visit (I am addicted to the internet!) that require member names and passwords, you have the option to check a box to "remember me on this computer" or some such thing. I notice the same option when I log in here. I check it, but it never "remembers" me. Is there a reason for this? A glitch? Has anyone brought this up before? Thanks for your help! _________________________ Tinman "I finally have my heart!" To the perps: Don't worry about me coming after you. But you damn well better watch out for God!

It used to remember me at work, but now it seems I'm forgettable and have to log in every day. I have no answer as to why, but you're not alone. ROCK ON......Trish _________________________ If you fall down 10 times, Stand up 11.

WalkingSouth Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 16259	The "remember" button on the log in page works for me using FireFox. I don't check that option anymore due to the fact that it makes it harder to switch between the modteam account and my own account. _________________________ “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy ____…!

dgoods Guest Registered: 10/15/07 Posts: 622 Loc: Richmond area	Not that anyone cares, but i'm on IE and just got the latest XP service pack, and this has been the one site i'm on regularly that has never "forgotten" me. MS is in my "Favorites", and unlike other sites which supposedly have the same "remember me" option, any time i've gotten on here, it immediately says "welcome dgoods." Therefore, props to the MS admins from me.... having to fill out some stupid "name/password" crap repeatedly for a website you visit regularly is nonsense, especially considering the nature of the site and why we're here... This from a "guest"... Anyway, i hear ya, but to me, this is one of the few forums that seems to get it "right". Maybe i haven't always agreed with the mods or admins 100% about everything, but accessibilty has never been an issue. OK, i'm done rambling now.... _________________________ Give sorrow words: the grief that does not speak Whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break. -William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act IV, Sc.
