My PC won't log me in automatically 

This website remembers your identity and will allow you to log in automatically by storing a 'cookie' on your PC. (A cookie is a small data file with your username, the site name and the date in it)

If you find that you are unable to get the 'Log me on automatically each visit' setting to stick and always have to log in each time you come to the site the cookie stored on your PC may be damaged and you should delete it. The system will create a new one the next time you log in.
A 'bad' cookie could also cause you to log in twice each time you try to access the site

If you block cookies from the site you will not be able to log in, confirm attendance at meetings and view members telephone numbers etc. etc.
