Earlier this week, I deleted my cookies to get something to work. But I do have cookies enabled, and have posted since, so AW's had time to put whatever cookies it uses back onto my computer.

Now, however, I have to sign in every time on AW; I used to just go here and be recognized.

Obviously, I'm lazy. But does anyone know what I can do to get things back the way they were?

Which browser are you using?

I'm guessing . . . IE.

Isn't there a checkbox when you sign in which says "remember me forever" or something like that? I believe as long as you check it when signing in and don't clear out cookies after that, you don't have to sign in again.

That's how it works on my phone, anyway.

[Maryn hands Bonita a cherry-pecan muffin, still warm.] I bet there are people who know what to do. I'll keep you company until they get here, okay?

Maryn, companionable

I'm using Firefox, and I check "remember me on this computer." Sigh...

Go to Tools > Options > Privacy and see if you have Remember search and forms history is checked.

Then go to Tools > Options > Security and see if Remember passwords is checked.

What about me? I want a cherry-pecan muffin!

I actually bought a pecan pie yesterday. It's been a while since I've eaten one.

Never mind the muffins, keep asking for my password.

I'm being cyber stalked but, even a password doesn't add much protection, as there are free programs to translate those ****. It's quite funny when he tries to get into my computer as me. My AV blocks him and keeps a record I can produce in court.
