Even though I save this forum, I have to load name/password every time. didn't have to before. changes???
No changes here; might be cookie-related at your end. Have you tried deleting the current cookie (any decent cookie manager should help with this, btw), and then logging in with 'remember me' checked?
I hit the 'stay logged in' but still I have to do the whole thing, for all my forums, bank, store, etc. some of my utilities, updated, so I am only running A/V, spyware and disc clean. My bank is worse, saying I am not logged in on my same PC and need to d/l a code to get in. life, so much fun.
Get a cookie manager. Dump ALL, including 'persistent' cookies. You'll have to log into every password protected site again, but it's likely safe to say you have a corrupt cookie in there somewhere that's stuffing up the works on your browser.
