Site Doesn't "Remember Me" Anymore...

Hi John,
I noticed that as of today, the site no longer "remembers me," nor do I have the option to choose "Log me on automatically each visit" when I log in. Might this patch have had something to do with this?
I'm not used to being treated like stranger around here...

No idea keith - this is purely for shonky WMF files corrupting your puter - your login problem sounds like something different.
try erasing all johnlsayers.com cookies and try again.

I've already done that...
In fact, I'm the one who wrote
the procedure.
What's really odd is that it appears I don't even have the
option to do it anymore...
The procedure linked above is when the "login automatically" feature doesn't work properly. In this case, it doesn't show up at all.

Thanks to the porn spammer for bumping this thread.
Yeah, "Remember me" still doesn't work for me...

No problems for me on either Windows 2k w/ IE6.5 or for Mac OSX 10.4.8 w/ Safari.
Keith, try Firefox or the new IE7 that was just release 11/1. and see what happens.
