Sorry if this has been answered before. I did search for ten minutes before posting.
Whenever I visit AJB007 I am asked to login. I check the box to be remembered the next time, but it never remembers me. Does anyone know how to rectify this?
thanks in advance

Hmm, never had that issue before. What browser are you using? Make sure you’re not in incognito mode/private browsing—you have to log in each time if you using those.
You can search by post instead of topic, then if you go to that post you’ll be on the relevant page. It’s one of the options on the search page.
Then, when the results come up, you will hopefully see a sequence of relevant posts from all different topics. But they are all decontextualised.
At the bottom of each post is a choice... Go to forum / Go to topic / Go to Post
if you click Go to topic it will take you to the first post of the topic, which could be hundreds of pages long. Not so useful unless you want to read the topic from the beginning.
if you click Go to post, it will take you to that post's position within its topic, and you can scroll backwards and forwards to see how it fits in the context of the discussion. Much more useful.
Go to forum leads to the subforum where the topic lives, eg this topic lives in Site Help Suggestions & Announcements. I don't know why someone would want to click on that one, but its a choice too.
Here's a cool trick: when you click on Go to Post, that actually produces a unique URL for that post's position in the thread, as opposed to the beginning of the thread or even the page of the thread. You can copy and paste that URL into a new post, if you ever want to hyperlink to a specific old post from a new discussion.
It’s never been an issue for me...but then I don’t ever automatically log in...but there is/was a function (definitely on iPhone/Apple) that does allow you to automatically log in every time you visit...
I get it on a variety of devices: visiting on my iPhone or on my desktop I have to log in each time unless I’ve left the window open.
Odd that automatic login works for some but not others ?:)
