I can't stay logged in.

Here's the skinny. Was out of town used a different computer. Of course, I forgot my password and had to have the board send it to me. So, did that came home logged in with new password but it won't remember me. I'm a lazy person and having to type in a username and password and check the box to remember me (just in case it works this time) makes me whiney.

What should I do?

Yep, smells like stale cookies to me. Your browser has cookies that say you are logged in with your old password, and they are getting in the way of your new login. Delete the cookies.

Always carry your password written in dragon's blood on a scrap of parchment in a secure encrypted inner pocket of your trenchcoat. Then you won't lose it.

Clear your cache

Log off

Delete your cookies; delete any bookmarks or favorites to AW if you are using Windows (you can copy their address first) because if you have Favorites/bookmarks to AW in I.E. and Firefox, there's a separate copy of the cookies.

Quit the browser.

Start the browser, log back in to AW, making sure that you check the Keep me logged in checkbox when you log in.

Thanks! I had one little bookmark hidden away when I finally deleted it and followed the other steps it all worked out.

Thanks again.
