I got a new machine with Windoze WP.
How do I set the Forum settings in IE6 so that it will remember my password?
Also, how can I make the text size settings permanent?
Thanks

You need to allow cookies. That's the default, I think.
The browser remembers the font size when you close it, for your next session.

| If you click on the preferences link at the top you can specify that you want your username/password stored in a cookie. But in my case it doesn't work and I do have cookies enabled on my system. [This message was edited by Peter Timaratz on 24 January 2004 at 07:47 AM.] |

In my Windows ME this feature is called AutoComplete. You can read about it in Windows Help searching for AutoComplete.
Sometimes I find that if I tell Windows not to save a particular password, it never asks me again, but maybe that's not true.
==== from Windows Help:
Use AutoComplete
This feature saves you time when you are typing Web addresses or completing entries on Web pages, by displaying a list of previous matching entries as you type. To turn AutoComplete on or off, click the Tools menu, click Internet Options, click the Content tab, and then click the AutoComplete button. If you have cognitive disabilities, you may want to clear the check boxes to avoid distractions. If you use a blind-access utility, you may want to clear the check boxes if your accessibility aid reads the suggestions as they appear, making typing difficult.

Thanks Guys,
I just switched to the default settings, and that fixed the password. It's a mystery why the default wasnt on in the first place.
Now if IE6 for XP would only remember the text size.

| When I browse the forum the number of days to view past topics is correct as set in my preferences. But I always have to enter my username and password when posting. Why would one be remembered and not the other? |
