For a while now I have to logon the the forum in the morning (EST). At first I just figured my company wiped out cookies or something like that at night but I see other sites "remember me". Is anyone else having that issue. I click remember me and it does all day. Next day; I have to log in again.
Let me check to see if I can find out what the expiration time is on the cookie. (I assume the forum is using cookies).
Of course, an alternate option is to use a password locker like LastPass.

Re: Remember logon not working for me
I had this in the past and it was to do with my antivirus wiping out the cookie. For some reason it affected VBF but not other forums. If there's an option to whitelist VBF in your antivirus it might be worth a punt.

I can't control that at work but now that you mention that it remembers me at home. Odd it only seems to affect VBForums as you mentioned.
My next suggestion was going to be to clear your cookies for the forum on your computer and see if that helps.

I noticed if I come in from the email notifications it remembers me but the first time in each day in via the internet I have to log in again every morning.
It has to be something on your end since you're the only one with the problem. Are you sure you are zapping your cookies?
Are you sure on both of those points? Maybe other people haven't reported it. This is the only site that happens to from my end. My company does constantly tighten down security so it may well be here. Odd it is only VBForums that I know of.

The first time each day? How about the next time? Do you turn off your computer when you leave, logoff, or forget the whole thing?
It sure sounds like your company has something like an AV running that is doing the job.

OK, let's do a little test. I just came in to work, my computer was in sleep mode since yesterday, came to this link via an email, and I'm still signed in (remembered).
Now I'm back via Google and darn it, it remembered me. First time in weeks. Just like working, when you try and show somebody something it doesn't do it....
The thing about "It sure sounds like your company has something like an AV running that is doing the job." is only this site seems affected.
I'm going to log off and then try coming back in.
I'm back from logging off and on and it remembered me...
I'll see what happens tomorrow but I swear...everyday I get onto the Forums and for many weeks it did not remember me. Now this morning it is. Go figure....
OK...I'M OFFICIALLY AN IDIOT
I just realized it was from using the Goggle incognito mode when I start up the web. Email comes straight here. Anyone have some bacon to go with the egg on my face...
I'm just playing around now but Tek-Tips.com and VBCity.com both remember me in Google incognito mode. I wonder what the difference is?

Well....since you are a power poster, I suppose we COULD make it official, since your title can be edited, but I think you ought to consider a more complimentary title.
