Logging on to BFTB with AOL

[Crimson Rage]

A bit of technical question here.
Every time I log in I click the "log me in automatically next time I vist" box, but the next day I have to re-enter my sign-in details anyway. Is this the notoriously crappy AOL haunting me yet again, or does anyone else have this problem?

Just wonderin'!!!!

Is it something to do with your biscuits or "cookies" ??
Depending on what level you set them on in tools.

AOL (america on line) is notorious for being crap i had a free trial when i first started going on the internet 4 years ago and would not touch it ever again.

I've been with AOL for 15 years now. When I threatened to leave they gave me a free Broadband router and discount on the monthly fee, so I stuck with them for a bit longer!!

On the whole it's been fine, but the odd thing like this crops up now and then just to make it slightly annoying. It's hardly an inconvenience to re-type my details every day, but I guess I shouldn't have to.

I've fiddled with my cookie settings and will see what happens.

Well, that didn't work!!!!
I just had to sign on for the second time today to post this. Never mind...

Gah, don't get me started on AOL... sooner peel my own eyeballs than use it.

You can still use other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox though (I far prefer it to IE), not much of a solution but it should be more user-friendly. I've also noticed that AOL takes at least 24 hours to acknowledge any site changes (except for the forum) so you'll be behind on the weekly colouring updates too.

I'm on AOL and it always keeps me logged in, never had any problems like that.

Could be your'e history settings, do you have to log into other sites every time (Facebook,Amazon,Banking etc?) If so then your history is being deleted every time you log out, unfortunatly wouldn't know how to solve it though, prob a tick box somewhere
