For quite some time now pprune has not been saving my password. I have no trouble with my passwords being saved by many other sites.
On my edit options section I have ticked auto-login-yes,browse board with cookies-yes.
I don't know where the problem lies.

Navy_Adversary,

That is by design. That way people traveling can log in at a public terminal will not have their username and password permanently logged in, should they forget to log out.

Take Care,

Richard

I had problem getting back on this morning - after logging on it was returning a 404 - unable to locate www.pprune.org/member.php (could have been members.php).

It's obviously ok now.

nb. I think the cookie thing was done to minimise the number of ppruners forgetting their password.

Sorry, that was my fault. Shouldhave in fact been www.pprune.org/forums/member.php

That's what happens when you tinker under the bonnet and then find you have a bolt or a screw left over after reassembling it all.

Spare Bolts

Hey! Isn't that normal? (maybe that's why they only let me play with Sims)

Thanks for that, tonight I came on the site and it had remembered my password and I was already logged in, don't we just love computers!

The cookie set by pprune is on a time limit - around 3 days I think so it will "remember" your password for a wee while before prompting you again - previous thread about that here
