Hi Brett,

I have a stupid question for you. Why is it that sometimes when I come to this site, it automatically signs me in, then other times I have to physically click on the "login" button and log in myself? Is there a way to set it up so I log in automatically all the time? Just wondering.... [Smile]

What it sounds like is happening is you are doing something now and then to delete your cookie. When you log into the site, it will put a cookie on your computer, which keeps your username and password, which is why, as you mentioned, there are times when you come in, and it already has you logged in. However, if you somehow delete or otherwise lose that cookie, then when you come to the site, that information isn't there, so you have to manually click and login. Hope this helps. If you need more help, let me know.

Samantha, yeah sounds like your cookie is being deleted, so you're not automatically logged in sometimes. Not sure why you're losing your cookie sometimes, but that's that is the problem.
