Hi,

I have tried 'unsuccessfully' for the past hour to get this site to
remember
my log-in information but so far I am falling flat on my face. This
is the only forum where I have this problem of saving my log-in
information so that I am logged in automatically.

I am checking the box to have the site remember my Email Address and
Password too.

I even went to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Advanced > and
allowed
First Party cookies, but I still am coming up empty. Any ideas or
suggestions?

The problems you are having are because you are trying to access these
newsgroups from the web interface, which is awful. Here is information
to help you:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup and not a "website" or "forum". You will get far
more out of this resource if you learn to use a newsreader. There are
many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use Outlook Express
since you already have it. Here are some links to information about
newsgroups:
