I use the latest Safari browser and it works perfect .
Before, I use Internet explorer 11, and it also works fine .

I use google chrome. I still have to click sign in, but it remembers my username and password. 1 extra click doesnt bother me

Hey Art I am by no means an expert, but I know when I have my security set up to max protection something in the "Cookies" settings wreaks havoc with my auto-sign-in settings. Did you just change/update your internet security settings? Just something to check until someone with a (computer friendly) brain checks in. Harry

thanks harry. havent touched anything before this problem started. it just happened. i ran a program on here to clean up files. maybe that did it., but no, that was after the problem started. you mentioned cookies. dont even have a clue what that means. i will probably have to get a geek friend in here to look at this thing. thanks art

Cookies are little packages remembering settings of sites and stuff.
When you clean up or delete your browsing history you get the option to delete your cookies also.
If you (by accident) deleted your cookies, it's not very strange all your passwords etc got deleted also.

Just (what you already did) login again, hit the "remember password" box and you should be fine.

Your browser could lso be wonky, just reset to default settings ( you lose all cookies) and start over, that should do the trick.

thanks rhyolite. computer probably is wonky. i have tried just resigning in and telling computer to remember me, but it does not. now that i think about it, this all started when i suddenly lost all my history settings i was saving in regards to the vega rebuild. just logged on one day and they were gone. i hear it is a problem when you use google chrome.could you explain resetting to default settings to maybe solve this problem. how would i do that ? thanks art

Art What about your New Years resolution to make your car lighter from the left front seat? Just kidding Art, I am loading "Double Stuff Oreo's" into the cart the other night as the wife unloads them, :bang: Why doesn't she love me enough to sand the car and let me eat cookies (reference Fastmax automatic sanding wife, viewtopic.php?f=20&t=29043&start=15 We are all jealous of that feature for sure). Keep us posted Art, and remember just because you didn't ask for the "updates" on your internet protection software doesn't mean it didn't do it automatically Harry
