I'm having the same problem. I'd love to try the "clear the cookies" thing except for one problem-I have no idea what that means or how to do it. Can anyone please tell me in VERY basic terms?
What browser do you use. Also installing CCleaner will clean your cookies. I use it every so often to clear the extra crap on my computer.
Clearing cookies has done the trick for me, logins are now persistent again. Have to do it on half a dozen PCs/phones/etc now, darn.
Alex: to help people out who are having trouble finding the option, would it be worth adding a link somehwere on the site to clear all local DISboards-related cookies, as wiping all browser cookies always seems a bit drastic to me? Add the same link to the user-login form, with a note saying why people may need to do it.

Look a few posts above, just clearing some cookies often doesn't work. We go through this every board move and it' always been a cookie issue. It get's better with time
Chrome isn't working with Dis at all. no way to log in atthis point in time.
And cookies have been cleared on there.
I was able to clear the cookies in Firefox and have Dis retain my log-in. But I can't get Chrome to work, which is frustrating because that is my browser of choice.
Also, just for info purposes, clearing cookies worked in Firefox on my Windows PC at work and on my Mac at home. Chrome worked on neither.
Alex, if you have any suggestions, I'm open to trying them. Thanks!
I also am having problems with the DIS boards losing me while I am reading. However, today when I came to DIS, using my bookmark I always use, I was already logged on but it wasn't my account. I could have posted stuff in their name or messed around in their personal info. This seems like more than the typical problems when changing servers.
