    Anyone have an idea why I have to enter my username and password every single time I log on to fchat? I am allowing cookies of all kinds. I have a firewall, zonealarm security suite, but I am allowing cookies in that too.

    Thoughts?

    I've got a similar issue. I have to enter my user name and password for Fchat, my email, and another forum every time I turn off my computer, but not if I leave the computer on and just log out. It didn't use to be that way. It started a couple of months ago. I'm allowing cookies also.

    I deleted all of the cookies related to fchat but I still have to use my username and password every time. Checking "remember me" doesn't do it.

    I'll look again to make certain that I didn't miss one of the fchat cookies.

    I'm using Mozilla 1.7.13 as my browser and for e-mail and I'm using Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.0.337.000.

    Does that help?

    Have you tried using Firefox ?

    Also, have you tried disabling your Zone Alarm just to see if that's causing a problem. Could it be it's deleting cookies whenever you close yoru browser?

    Every time that I log onto fchat I check the "remember me" box. And, every time I come back, I have to log on again. It's really a PITA.

    I just shut off Zone Alarm's security suite completely and, no difference. Every time I log on to fchat I have to log in again. What a PITA!

    I also checked all of the switches in Mozilla that I know about and cookies are allowed.

    I plan to switch over to Firefox, just have not had the time to do it. My son says that Firefox is better than Mozilla so I will be trying that in a day or two.

    Running Firefox 2.0.0.5, same problem. Didn't used to be like that until a few weeks ago. Haven't had time to investigate, but feel your pain FWIW...

    It was a switch in my Zone Alarm Security Suite. As soon as I changed it, fchat works fine now.

    What a PITA these computers can be!
