Thanks MD, I will definitely remember that about using other computers.

Re: Just a query about log in process
Actually that answer is partly true. Places like Facebook and BCAus give you the option to have them remember your password - they do this with a little packet of information called a cookie. The cookie lives on your computer and FB or BCAus use that + what it knows about your IP address to identify your computer when you log in. Again, not recommended to follow this option on a public or unsecured computer system.

Re: Just a query about log in process
thanks MD. That actually clarifies it for me. I know when I log in to Facebook the options that appear are my email address and also my son's and daughter's, but they are the only ones. Thanks for that. I didn't think anyone else could, but didn't really know why.

Re: Just a query about log in process
Chrissie, your password appearing automatically is a feature done by the software on your own computer. You can turn it off in your browser (Internet Explorer) options. If someone else logged in from the same computer at your home and thought to type in Chrissie, then they could log in. However I can't type in your name from here and get your password.
If you use a public computer (at the Library, or an internet cafe) to log in, a window will appear asking you if you want to save your username or password. ALWAYS select NO when you're using a computer that other people can access. The chances of someone going to that site and putting in your password are pretty slim, but it's better not to risk it.

Re: Just a query about log in process
I ticked that HM, and logged in, but the next time that box wasn't ticked. Oh dear, I think I am confused, too late at night for me perhaps. So how do you mean each visit? Do you mean from the "enter the forum" page?
Sorry I didn't answer your question properly, no I haven't ever got that ticked.

Re: Just a query about log in process
Chrissie have you got the 'log me in automatically' box ticked? That could be why it comes up.

Hello, just a query. I is probably a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway.
When I log in as "Chrissie", my hidden password appears automatically. Does this mean anyone signing in as "Chrissie" or any other name for that matter can automatically sign in as that person? And in that process can see private messages etc. Like I say probably a silly question, but would be interested to know. Thanks.
