When I want to read the "work" section of MOL, I type in my user name and password to enter the section, then I am asked to enter my user name and password again for each thread I want to view. Is this the way it is supposed to be? If so, why can't we move from thread to thread without having to log in again after we've already logged in the enter the section? I'm sure there's a logical reason, but I'm curious. I do not enter that section often because of the hassle. Thanks.

Try logging into your profile and selecting "save username in cookie" option.

Isnt there another way to do that Dave. My wife and I use the boards from the same machine and she would, under those instructions, have to post as me? I dont know enough about the blood and guts of this machine, but that would seem to be the case.
Cant you just require the username/password the one time when you enter? I agree the hassle is off-putting.

Dave, I checked my profile, and that preference was already selected! I still have to enter my user name and password for each thread I want to view. Any other suggestions?
