Many thanks for your replies, I will try and work it out, somehow

Hi Everyone Over the last week or so, I have been asked to login everytime I access the forum. Upon logging in, I know there is the box underneath the login and password boxes but I am unable to tick this box and remain logged in as the login process is so quick.
