Hi

Why is the forum no longer remembering me?
Its been making me sign on every time for a few weeks now even when the rememeber me box is ticked!

It isn't the Forum it will be your computer, sometimes it gets confused and forgets to save log in details and logs people out. There is a thread somewhere with tips on preventing it. I will try to find it for you. :)

Can't find the thread but this info might help, it is from the internet, not written by me:

Can you log in ok but when you click a link it logs you out?
