Hey Forummaster-

Is there anyway that you can change the Forum to where a member can just type in their user name and password ONLY once, so as to access different sections of the forum?????

It seems that one has to type in their info. a couple of times to access Modifications, Ask the Tech, etc. I personally check the Forum a couple of times a day to see what's new and it get frustrating after awhile typing in my vitals several times.... It would be nice to just type it one time and be able to access the entire Forum. This would help keep out non-members and anonymous posts, you can also track users better too. Anyway, my 2 cents.

My apologies if this has been posted before by others.

Xlaxx,

Try something for me. Go into your profile and scroll down to Preferences - check the box that says "Remember my username and password in a cookie". Then go back out and see if this allows you to log in once and then go into any other group without having to log in again.

Thanks,

Forum Master

XLAXX,

also your "cookies" need to be turned on in your computer to allow this. If I clean out my cache, I usually have to retype my username/password once and I'm good to go.

I hope this helps add to what the Forum Master said.

Thanks Xlaxx for asking a question I've been meaning to. And thanks to Forum Master for the fix. It worked on my end. Some things just keep getting better and better.

FM-
Thanks! It worked very well,... actually when I typed my username and password into the edit profile screen and changed the cookie it worked immediately when I clicked on "Ask the Tech"
WOW, thanks again,... like Jburner said it just keeps getting better and better for sure on this Forum.

XLAXX

ps. Thanks for the tip Alsworld
