Don't know what happen but i have to put user name and password for every single forum i registered now. Seems like something wrong with cookie? I've ticked remember me box as well already. The weird thing is, when i put the first letter of my user name, seem like remember it tho if you know what i mean? Firefox 3 if that any help

Are you using something like Spybot Search and Destroy which could be cleaning out your cookies? Perhaps also CCleaner or the like?

Remembering logins and cookies are two separate things though - if there's an issue with cookies, try moving/renaming cookies.sqlite from your profile.

I used Spybot Search and Destroy once a month, so is this cause it? Anything that i can do?

I renamed the cookies.sqlite and i tried login to overclockers forum and logged out again, usually i had to put my user name and password again, but this time working fine, what happened anyway?

Thanks guys

As its name suggests, cookies.sqlite stores your cookies. Sometimes it gets corrupted, and weird things happen.

Oh i see. Thanks a lot. Just not sure why it got corrupted at the first place?

Cosmic rays, alien lizard people, weird locking issue with your AV, crash, random?
It happens, there's loads of reasons.

BSOD caused by overclocking
