I used to have a similar problem when I first joined, even with FF. Just tested it again problem still occurs with FF and IE7.

Before closing the browser if you Log Out of IIS it deletes all the IIS cookies requiring you to log in next time, now I never click Log Out

Just thought Id mention it.

I thought that would've been obvious, but perhaps it's not. Gordon Garradd had the same problem, then I found out he was clicking "Log Out"..

If you click "Log Out", then it WILL delete your cookies so you WILL need to login again each time. That's standard vbulletin functionality.

Just close the browser window without logging out and you will stay logged in next time.

You don't have any security applications, firewalls, spam blockers, etc. installed? Any virus software that integrates with IE, things like that?
Dunno. Sorry.

G'Day Terry,
Yes I have I have F-Secure firewall and spam blockers etc installed but they can't be the problem as there installed when I visit other groups as well. It's no big deal that I have to type my password in each time, it just seems strange that it only happens in this group,besides it helps my typing skills or lack of them and as far as I not been lodged off goes it not a big problem either,just dont' want members to think I'm on line and ignoring them If they send a PM

Maybe they're on a safe list and IceInSpace is not? Or IceInSpace has been blocked?

Oh well. I'm glad your typing skills will get a workout if nothing else
