Hi,

I have a problem when I log in. I want my computer to remember my info so I don't have to log into this site everytime I visit, but it won't work. I sign my username, password and then click to the right the box to remember info, but it won't remember it for some reason. I have that box check to remember, so why won't it?

I woud love for it to remember so I don't have to relog in each time I check back. Is there something else I need to be doing?

Thanks for your help, and sorry I asked here..just didn't know where else to ask on here and this board gets lots of hits.

Have a GREAT one smile.gif

Hugs

Hi MaryO,

First of all, Thanks smile.gif

I did what you said and my options were already set that way. I go to other message boards online and have it set to remember my info and it does. This is the only site it will not remember. Weird huh?

Anyway, thanks so much for your help.

Hugs

Mine is the same way unsure.gif

I've even gone in and specifically "allowed" this one and it still won't remember me.

Could this be a new symptom of peri? huh.gif
