Ok guys, maybe someone can help me out. I don't have trouble with cookies at any other website. But for some reason, the anandtech forums won't remember my login. And yes, I do click the "remember my login" button. Hehehe. But every time I close my browser, my info is lost and I have to log in again the next time. It's not an account problem, because my login is remembered fine on my work computer etc.

Ideas?

sounds like your cookies might be getting deleted when you exit. find the cookie and watch to see if it gets deleted.

do you have any programs that rid you of cookies?

you may need to set your prog (if any) to keep the anandtech cookies

No, that's what's bizarre - I go to at least 5 other sites that use cookies to track my login, and no problem on any of them.

try emptying out ALL temp files, all temp internet files, as well as ALL cookies

btw, did you set IE (i'm assuming you use IE) to remember the password?

maybe it will make a conflict somehow if you selected no, but i doubt it

Are you running XP? I have the same problem on my box running XP, and the version of IE packaged has some kind of cookie management scheme that I haven't bothered to learn yet.

If you figure it out, leeme know what the answer is please.
