why aren't my yahoo details remebered? there is a checkbox saying "remember me on this computer", but it never actually does seem to remember me

so every time I go to look at yahoo calender or emails I get asked to log on again

All the other sites I visit seem to remember me ok so why not yahoo?

Are you clearing your cookies before you go back to yahoo again ? Saved settings are cookie dependant.

you could try using one of the cookie related extensions for Firefox, such as

https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...mpg=10&id=1247

- worked for me when I had a similar problem.

No probs...........BTW are you running yahoo messenger ? If you are logged into yahoo messenger, I'm fairly sure you won't have to log in, as you are already logged onto messenger

yes - I am running it and it does keep asking me to log in when a calender alert appears on the taskbar

I've been with Yahoo since 99 and every pigging time I get asked to sign in despite ticking the box.I've just got used to it as an idiosyncrasy of Yahoo.

As for Yahoo security it's a joke.The number of times my friend has had his inbox and his Yahoo group hacked has put him right off Yahoo.
