my computer used to remember me everytime I sign on to the zone.
and would remember my screen setting(lighter version).
now everytime I log on I have to sign in and use my password as well as change the screen setting.
is this my computers issue or is this a problem of the website not retaining my info?
I am checking the "remember me ' box every time.
It is an issue with your browser, IE, Firefox, Chrome etc. You may want to check the settings. Did your browser do an update recently?Quote:

On the server end, everything is the same...sorrym for the trouble though...its a pain i know...
Mine remembers my settings too, so it must be on your end, heywood.
Mine does that too. I use Firefox. Annoying.
I have been using Firefox for several years now. If you have to sign in every time, I suspect the settings in your browser is set to delete passwords upon exit of the site. You may want to check you settings or try setting them to the default setting.
I'm having the same problem. Time to have my daughter check things out for me.
I have used Netscape Navigator or Firefox since I arrived in cyberspace getting close to 2 decades ago...no problems with the browser as long as the settings are right.
What browser are the people with the troubles all using? At least 1 is firefox....others?
i'm using chrome and had problems at first, and then i went in and changed my setting because i was having problems with my email and a few others not staying signed in, as Don said it was the settings in my browser, change to "remember passwords", should solve your problems.
When I get on to the site, I have to log on every time even though I have remember passwords set. I am using firefox. Every time I make a post, by the time I go to submit reply, I have to enter my password again. Sometimes it will really screw up and forget after I sign in that I was trying to post something and it will lose all of my text. I have learned that I need to COPY what I wrote, then try to post it, and when It screws up, I can just PASTE it back on a new message screen. It has been like this for several years now, before that it was fine. I know that I have the cookies and the history delete after every session selected. I am sure that is what is doing it. It seems like it will log you off after a certain time. On the bright side, I havent gotten a virus on my computer in a couple years either.
At the risk of sounding like an AH, it may come down to uninstalling FF and then re-installing it. I believe FF will keep your Bookmarks (Favorites to IE users) and then let you use them again. Sometimes, a clean start helps...
Firefox has never given me a problem...maybe I should post screen shots of my settings stuff and others can see if theirs needs tweaking somewhere...
An uninstall and clean boot and reinstall is a good idea...if you dont know how to do a clean boot:
