On the old forum i never had to do anything except open the site and i was logged in. This one keeps my name and password in the login fields, but i do have to login. I had a java script i could use to stay permanently logged in and i may have used that on the olds site. not sure if thats why it kept me logged or not, but the script got lost here at work so i have to remember to email it here from home and see if that does it. but then the site is fast so clicking the button each time i visit is no big deal anyways.
