Solution
Several items come to mind that could impact a browsers ability to "remember you"
- You're browsing in "private mode" in which case cookies are not retained which is how most sties remember a user
- Your browser is setup to clear browser cache frequently if not every time on exit
- You use a 3rd party utility to maintain your system (and it is removing browser cache data)

Hi
Take a look at this, I'm not having that problem, it must have been set differently by default, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with site permissions.
