I have tried the "Remember Me" feature, and also 2 different browsers (IE & Firefox) and neither makes any difference. It's really starting to irritate me...

Anyone else experiencing this ?

Make sure you click on the check mark "remember me".
If you use some kind of clearing cookies software add an exception for the "forums.audiworld.com". I know since I had to set it up for Firefox.

Cheers

I have tried the "Remember Me" checkbox and also cleared my cookies. As I said, I have also tried 2 different browsers which implies 2 different sets of cookies and I do not have any software installed that would block cookies. I do not have a problem with any other websites...

OK - now I'm positive it's not me or my PC. I just tried logging on to the forum from a 2nd PC that has never been to the forums before. I logged on successfully after clicking the Remember Me box, and then promptly closed the browser. I re-opened the browser and then came back to the forums and had to logon again. Seems like a bug with the new forums to me...

I have this same issue on Audizine. Have to log in each time. No such problem here.

From checking on the Feedback forum, one of the other site members discovered that the forums only seem to remember you if you sign-in with your userid rather than your email address...

More than likely you logged on using your userid rather than your email address. Previously, (before the conversion to VB) you had to logon using your email address, but now apparently you have a choice and only your userid works with the Remember Me feature.
