Log me on automatically each visit?
I see this box each time I log on......I also check it......but everytime I log on......I must re-enter my username and password.
Am I doing something wrong or is this functon not possible on this forum? If it is not possible........why is the box there?

Do you check it before or after you enter your username and password?
Works fine for me, both at work and at home. Only time I have to log in, now, is after I completely clear the browser cache, including all saved passwords.

Same problem,it happens to me on the vista and xp operating systems. I have no problems with my other forums as far as it remembering the user and passwords.

I have checked it both before and after entering username and password. Then i click log on or hit the enter key.........any way no luck........i frequent another forum that retains my info......unless like you said.....i clear my browsing history/cookies.
Strange to say the least.....

Check whether you have cookies enabled or disabled. You must have cookies enabled for the automatic logon to work.
If you are using Internet Explorer, try putting
http://www.texasshooting.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; in the trusted sites.
If you are using Internet Explorer, you might also consider using a Firefox or another browser. I have had no trouble with Firefox or Mozilla before that.

This is a long running problem that some people can fix and others (like me) can't. I wish I had an answer for you.

Not that big a deal.........just aggravating.

I know this site really hates my iphone's browser.
I have to relogin every few seconds.

When using Firefox check that...:
Tools - Options - Privacy tab - Cookies section - Accept cookies from sites and Accept third party cookies are both checked. Also make sure under the "Exceptions" button that texasshooting.com is not in the exceptions area as blocked.
Edit: It also could be that you are going to
http://www.texaschlforum.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; instead of
http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_Forum" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Make sure that you are going to the latter address.
Bingo, that fixed it for me, I was using the
http://www.texaschlforum.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; instead of the latter, it works fine with the other address.
