Its working for me. Check you didn't accept the cookie as being for this session only - if you did then each time you quit the browser it'll throw it away. Good for privacy, annoying for logins !

as has been stated in other threads, make sure your url you are logging into the forum with is correct, the cookie to keep you logged in does not work if you try to log in from the wrong url.

well it works fine here and has for others, so the issue must be on your end.

This was discussed earlier in another topic. I'm too lazy to copy it all out so just take alook down page 4 in this thread.

That's a bit naïve. If the forum is producing slightly invalid or confused headers with cookie data then browsers will do different things with it. Having browser specific problems with cookies isn't exactly unusual and its generally a problem on the web site end.

Please try and log in with this address:- http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php  Then hopefully it will remember your password.

Once we get back to having the .co.uk address on the server it should sort itself out.
