Hi, thanks for responding to the twitter nag :> I've JUST figured out what's going on. I'd log in to the forum, then edit the address back to get back to the front page -- not realising the "rolldabeats.com" text under the RDB forum logo is in fact clickable. It seems the cookie isn't recognised if you manually surf to the front page again -- it recognises me if I click on the front page link after logging in, but if I authenticate then go to the RDB front page any other way it forgets me again. This also means you can't seemingly log in and have it remember you for future use of just the main web site. I'm always 'forgotten' when I go back to it again. Chrome, latest version, various PCs (work, home, etc).
