Problems Logging In Automatically (solved)

Eric,
On the new board, I am not logged in automatically each time when I re-enter, even though I checked the little box. Funny though, all I have to do is enter my name "markskor" and I do not have to type the password to login. Is this a temporary snafu?

Nope. It's either your firewall or the way you have your browser setup. Check your settings. In any case, your computer isn't allowing cookies to be stored on your computer. Newer browser versions and newer updates to security software are allowing less and less of this sort of thing. I'm having the same problem. But I guess it beats having my computer invaded by the kiddies (hackers)!

Here is a helpful little test that will tell you if you have cookies enabled. You need them to be enabled and functioning in order to login and stay logged in on this website:

I've noticed the same thing as marksor and haven't changed any IE settings, etc?
