Anyone Having Problems Logging In To The Forum?
I've tried several different browsers and I'm still having the same problem:
The web site won't save my login credentials even after checking the "Remember Me" box.

No problems for me. I just logged out, dumped my cache and logged back in. Safari browser. Apple laptop. All current.
You are posting here so obviously whatever you are doing does allow you to log in and post. Is the problem that you have to log in every time you access VSalon? The way VSalon "saves" a password is by affixing some kind of persistent cookie to your browser. It lasts until you dump cookies, caches or otherwise website data. If you have security settings that prevent persistent cookies or something set up to discard cookies/data upon closing the browser, then that might be affecting things.

I had problems for about a week. I worked around it by setting up a shortcut on my toolbar. Now it's fine, but I still use the shortcut.

Yes. I have to enter my screen name, which after typing the first letter, presents a pull-down with my screen name. Then when I click in the blank password field, it auto-populates the correct password.
Checking the Remember Me box does nothing toward saving my info for my next visit.

My settings are not to dump cookies and I've tried dumping them and clearing the cache several times to no avail. All other websites remember me. I'm befuddled.

Sounds like you may be using some sort of password manager, possibly the built-in password manager provided by your operating system. Unintentionally perhaps. That would explain why the scenario is the same regardless of browser. AFAIK, the appearance of a pull-down with cached user/screen names is not part of the VSalon site coding, but that is a common part of password managing software. Some browsers also allow saving passwords locally (meaning within the browser) but those shouldn't be available in other browsers.

I'm using the password manager supplied by my Firefox and Google browsers.
