Remember Me, which uses browser cookies, is enabled by default. So the list below will contain one or more reasons it's not working for you:

1) Your browser is set to delete files upon exit.
Solution: Either select F150Forum as a Favorite and make sure Preserve Favorites Data is selected, or disable the delete files upon exit option. How you do this depends on the browser.

2) You're using 3rd party software that is removing browser files.
Solution: We can't provide support for this due to the amount of different products available and different settings.

3) You're using the log out link.
Solution: Don't use the log out link!

4) You have corrupt browser cookies for F150Forum .
Solution: Assuming you have a bad F150Forum cookie in your browser, how you delete it depends on the browser being used. There's an easy way of deleting ALL cookies for ALL sites and a more involved method of singly deleting cookies. Again, it depends on the browser being used. Please consult your browser's Help for clearing cookies.

5) This only happens on F150Forum! No other websites have this issue!
This problem can happen to any website that uses browser cookies but when this specific issue occurs, it generally only occurs to one site at one given time. Websites generally use multiple browser cookies for their site and are unique for each site. So a corrupt browser cookie for one site is going to give issues for that site only. The member must take the step to manually delete the browser cookie and revisit the website to restore it. If the member doesn't do this then, eventually, the issue may resolve by the browser cookie eventually getting deleted through a process (browser deleting all cookies, 3rd party software cleaning out files, Disk Clean Utility, etc.,).
