Only one question allowed per day, gm. Come back tomorrow. :lol:
I see your confusion. When you start to type your username and it completes or automatically fills in the password, that's all in your browser settings to save passwords and the like. What remember does on the forum side is turn off a "keep alive" time that would log you off after a preset time it you don't check it and stay active. Why do we have a "remember me" choice? It's sort of an Internet tradition, most forums have it and I know in my case, many places I log into, even my email program, have some form of remember me or keep me logged in. One other reason is to reduce load on the forum. If every member was kept logged on automatically, the software would have to keep tabs on tens of thousands of users and it slows the forum down. I hope that explains some of it.
Being in a generous mood and TGIF. :joyous: VB isn't a software program as such. It's a group of this and a little bit of that working together to function as the forum. It is made up of Javascript, HTML, data bases and much. much more. All these are combined into what's sold as Virtual Bulletin. All the interaction between the various bits and pieces makes the sum total a powerful, complex forum tool. VB does have a large support staff to write the code, debug it and make it work. The problem is all the small parts don't always see eye to eye and we have the glitches because some tiny piece written by Programmer A is looking for something from a piece written by Programmer B. Unfortunately the first program was looking for a potato and the second sent a tomato. This is simplistic explanation of an extremely complex operation.
It isn't always easy to tie all the parts together to operate seamlessly. Hope that helps some, gm.
