The only thing Ive noticed is the odd request for log in to L4U…even though I always tick the “ remember me” box.

It happens about one in ten times…so nothing to worry about….but it never used to happen. Might be because I changed my password a few weeks ago.

The most likely answer is that you have your browser to delete cookies etc when you exit your browser, or you have a program/browser addon that deletes your browsing history, including temp files, cookies etc.

I have a program called CCleaner that did that till i turned it off in the options.

At the risk of showing myself up as a techy ignoramus, wouldn’t the deletion of cookies, browsing history etc. be very obvious in that it would effect many other sites you visit regularly?

Most browsers will allow you to save your login details for non secure websites.
That is to say it's not a website begining with Https://

Many browsers will ask you if you want to save the login credentials when you sign in..
You can say Yes to that.
Another option is. Never ask me again.

That being the case, then this may be why you are not being given the option.

Mac's use Safari, so here's what I found out about saving passwords and login details. 😎


If you can’t save a password for a website or your password for a website isn’t filled in automatically, try any of the following:

Make sure you selected to autofill passwords: Choose Safari > Preferences, click AutoFill, then make sure “Usernames and passwords” is selected.

Check whether you chose to never save the password for the website: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Passwords, then unlock your passwords. If a website’s password shows “never saved”, click to remove it from this list. Then click to add the website, your username and your password to the list.


Hope that helps.. 👍

Ditto - and I haven't even changed my password. I ve had to log in again just to type this. (And I always tick Remember Me and it never does)

This happens to me too, but usually when I'm using my phone to connect to L4U. (I don't think it happens when using my laptop. Perhaps I need to pay more attention instead of doing things on autopilot.)
