   Since Saturday, the site doesn't seem to recognize cookies. I have to keep logging in every time, even if I click the "Remember Me" box.
   
   I've already checked the settings on my computer, and it's happening both at home and at work. Is it only me? If not, what's up with that?

   I'm having the same problem myself... for two weeks now.

   I have noticed some inconsistencies related to storage and management of cookies and related data, but have as yet not had the opportunity to troubleshoot further.

   I have a question. I just "logged in" without logging in. Let me explain.
   
   Last week I logged in for the first time in a long time (I am growing to like the new site by the way). Anyway, my user name and password from the old site worked fine so I was able to log in.
   
   Today, I was checking out the "about us" section of the site. I clicked on the "application form" link, then hit the back button since I already have an account and I did not intend to log on or comment on anything today and to my surprise when I came back to the discussion section I was logged in? And yet, I was never asked for my password.
   
   I am on my personal laptop (the same laptop I logged in on last week) but if I had logged in from a public computer or a computer at work, would I or anyone else have been able to log in under my name just as easily by clicking the application form?
   
   Have others encounted a similar situation?

   Thats the way the cookie crumbles.
   When you logged on from your laptop last week, NW placed a cookie on your laptop.
   Now unless you manually log out, or delete your cookies, NW will see that cookie and recognize you are still logged in.
   Anyone who uses your laptop to come here, will experience the same effect.

    It appears to not remember me, but I just click the "sign in" button (without entering any info) and it logs me in. I'm using Firefox.

    If you don't have to actually type your username and password, then the cookie is being read properly..

    How's the work coming along on being able to stay logged on?
    
    a) MEH...we'll get around to it sometime.
    
    b) We're working on it day and night but still can't figure out what's wrong.
    
    c) What does "staying logged on mean"?
    
    d) Shut up!
    
    e) It'll be fixed soon...chill.

    (edit)
    Does your name and password show up instantly in the login box on the sidebar?
    
    If it does, it's working.
    
    I find it just as annoying; so trust me, if we could fix it, we would.

    No it doesn't. Does that mean the 'problem' is with my end?

    My name and password don't appear on the sidebar either, but I just click on the appropriate button and it logs me in instantly.
    
    Try doing that instead of typing your name/password in each time. Works for me.

    Ooooh... are you on MTS?
    
    In fact, is anyone who is having this problem NOT on MTS?
    
    It just dawned on me now that some MTS customers have dynamic IP addresses - that is to say that your IP address changes all the time. This may be why you are logged out every few hours.

    I am on shaw using IE7, at work there's a different connection and I use firefox 2 and still no login. I also use ubuntu and firefox and no login.
    
    As an intermediate step, would it be possible to remove that annoying screen AFTER logging in and put one back directly from where the login occured?
