When I leave the forum, should it automatically log me out? It doesn't. I've ben away for the weekend and had could not have logged out at the last visit as when I switched on today, there I was.

Does it matter if I am perpetually logged in??

Dunno, Mel. I'm permanently logged in, unless I get logged out when I clear my cookies/cache/whatever the expression is, or my computer has had enough and mysteriously shuts itself down (which it does, infuriatingly, from time to time

). Saves logging in each time, I suppose!

Thanks Sue. We'll remain blissful in our ignorance.
