Log In Trick?

[Johnny Reefer]

Thanx for your interest in this.

On the old board I was logging out all the time. When I came back my Username and Password were remembered. I'd just click Log In and Bob's your Uncle.

Also, the way my browser's Tools/Options page is worded implies that one can log out and then return with out having to re-enter the password.

I tried just closing the browser and brought up the website again, as suggested, and I was still logged in. I don't want to be logged in all the time. I'm just lookin' for the *&*%#&&^%%$#@ thing to remember my password.

No big deal, though. I'll just enter it each time.

(Maybe I'll try resetting the homepage setting).

Thanx again and cheers,

now that I try, you are right. none of my vbulletin pages remember my password. they remember my username, but not my password. and unlike other sites, mozilla doesn't ask me "do you want firefox to remember this password for nexttime".

guess we're pickled!

In Firefox, go to "Tools" and then select "Options."

In the popup, highlight the "Privacy" tab.

Click on the "+" by cookies to drill down into that category.

Check the setting for "Keep Cookies." Sounds to me like you have it set to "Ask me everytime" or maybe "Until I close Firefox." I have mine set to "Until the expire."

Also, you probably also have "Allow sites to set cookies" option disabled. Either enable this (note - this will allow ALL websites to set cookies), or, click on "exceptions" and add "www.canreef.com".

Give that a shot and let me know if it works. If not, it might be that you have some kind of firewall preventing the cookies being set. But let's try this first, then work outwards from there if need be.

Ok now THAT seems a little odd. I use Firefox too, I have no problem with it remembering my password. Maybe try clearing passwords and see if it will prompt you next time.

Okay, tried all that and still a no go.
I'm not sure what else to do, other than research Norton's Password Manger and see if maybe that would work.

Are you using a firewall or other kind of internet security application? If so, which one?

[Johnny Reefer]

Yes. I have an SMC router hard firewall, but no software firewall.

Cheers and thanx,
