how can I get the system to remember my name and password for this compputer so I don't have to type them in every time I log on..?

If you have your system set to accept cookies, you should not need to log in every time (unless you click on 'log out' when you leave).

But.

If you use more than one PC you will need to amend your site settings to enable multiple browsers. Go to "My Settings", then "My Site Settings" and tick the box for multiple browsers.

What browser are you using? As already mentioned by cj, I do believe you must have it set up to save cookies.

I use firefox, and if you go to the top menu bar and ckick Tools, then click "options/security", you will see in the middle of the page where you can choose to save passwords.

Any changes you make to your browser configuration often do not take effect until you exit your browser and restart it. It's a good idea to do that right away when you have everything set the way you want it.

When you first go to a site that requires a username and password you will have to enter that information. Then the browser will open a window and ask if you want to save the password. This will happen as soon as you enter the password. Watch for it, because it doesn't always stand out when it comes up.

I'm sure that other browsers have the same features but you will have to explore a little to find out how to configure your options.

that's exactly what happened to me...I missed the question to remember the password on my first visit to Red Hot Chess. Now I'm trying to figure out how to bring that window up again. Checking 'remember passwords' in tools>security doesn't do it

When you log out from the site, it usually will ask you again the next time you log in.

nope, exceptions is blank. I have amazon.com in my saved passwords list, but can't figure out how to add red hot chess to that list. Just logging out and back in doesn't help.

Seems like the box which asks whether you want the system to remember your name and password only comes up when you first log on after joining and never again..

Maybe I just need to re-join red hot chess as a new member with a new name :-)

How do I reset my password?
