"I wanted to make sure you all knew that expoilts of a WMF file vulnerability has been spreading rapidly, the last few weeks. Although Microsoft has no been addressing it, there is a reputable patch available. Here are some URLs you may want to read through...

I've installed the patch with no problems.

Site Doesn't "Remember Me" Anymore...

Post by sharward »

Hi John,

I noticed that as of today, the site no longer "remembers me," nor do I have the option to choose "Log me on automatically each visit" when I log in. Might this patch have had something to do with this?

I'm not used to being treated like stranger around here... :cry: ;-)

No idea keith - this is purely for shonky WMF files corrupting your puter - your login problem sounds like something different.

try erasing all johnlsayers.com cookies and try again.

I've already done that... :-( In fact, I'm the one who wrote the procedure. ;-)

What's really odd is that it appears I don't even have the option to do it anymore... :? The procedure linked above is when the "login automatically" feature doesn't work properly. In this case, it doesn't show up at all. :roll:

Thanks to the porn spammer for bumping this thread.

Yeah, "Remember me" still doesn't work for me... :roll:

No problems for me on either Windows 2k w/ IE6.5 or for Mac OSX 10.4.8 w/ Safari.

Keith, try Firefox or the new IE7 that was just release 11/1. and see what happens.
