from looking at a thread.

And bc I'd forgotten my password bc I don't log out I had to make a new one, as well. Hopefully one I'll remember. I'm pretty good w passwords.

That happens to me every so often, that I click on the link to DU and I'm not here. I go back, click again, and I'm here.

Sometimes there's a glitch. Not a big deal.

Browsers are pretty sturdy in that regard. And I don't think you have changed security settings, such as:

• Clear cookies when a tab closes, or
• Clear cookies on when the app quits.

That's very browser-dependent and there are too many settings to mess with. I rarely do.

Others have inadvertently slipped into "private mode" which clears cookies after you close a tab.

It is TOO EASY to tap this on an iPhone. I can't speak for others.

That probably covers it, unless you are having other problems.
