...doesn't remember me. I tell it to every time, but it doesn't work.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Are you loggin in from school or a net cafe? Somewhere with a differing IP address or if you're on dial up.

I'm on at home. We have dial-up, but it used to remember me.

Sometimes with dialup the IP address will change about. Or your cookie settings may have changed.

Is there anything I can do about it?

DWMG - the 'remember me' is not (as I also thought) for our computer to automatically log us in. It's actually to keep you logged in for ever, until you log out. I was getting timed out after 10mins and it was driving me crazy losing posts etc but if you tick remember me, you can stay on as long as you like. Its nothing to do with your computer remembering you. Hope that helps. It was Poppy who explained it to me.

I don't know of anything unless you never log out of BCF (like the rest of us geeks :mrgreen: )

If you have that option ticked, when you come to the forum, you should be logged in. If you're not, it's probably something to do with your cookies.. especially if it used to work.
