You seem to have much more troubles with this than I have. I feel sorry for you, knowing how aggravation it causes me. At least you do not attribute it to something Dutch, like Going Dutch, Dutch Disease, etc.

Class 5 almost always gets me in too when the others usually don't. And yes, things often extremely slow for switching/loading pages, still.

I know it is here somewhere, but a search did not find it.

Can someone please post how to do the Class 5 thingie.
Today has been especially problematic.

Just a quick addendum to say that they have changed our server. In case of DNS errors on either MAPLELEAFUP.ORG or CLASS-FIVE.COM, please try the following to gain access here:

Hi Jif

I know that a while back you fixed the timer on the login so that it would not drop the connection if you are inactive for a few minutes. I think the fix has slipped because it has dropped the connection twice on me while I was typing in a response. Of course that may just be the vagaries of the Internet.

Cheers Phil

PS the heading should read Short login seems to have come back - Just discovered you can not correct headings

Cheers Phil

Could be your machine, Phil.... please ensure you check the "Remember me" box when you login - that should fix it.

Ref editing headings, only the Admins can do that. I fixed it for ya...

Hi All

Well had to replace my computer that was running XP which would remember my MLU password. The new MacMini running Safari just will not seem to remember, any ideas?

Probably something simple I not seeing.

Hi Phil:

I am the last person in the world to comment on how to use a computer but no one else seems to be monitoring your question/problem.

So........

In early 2012, shortly after the death of Steve Jobs, I got convinced to get a Mac to replace my #2 PC, which was running Windows XP also.

It was recommended that I use Safari as my default browser and I fought the same problem you are having for several weeks, trying to "Keep it Apple" as the Apple salesperson insisted I do.

I finally switched back to Google Chrome, my original default browser, and that at least straightened that issue out.

I realize the Mac vs PC debate is very political, but I will say I not only will never buy another Apple product, I intend to retire my Mac as soon as my Computer Consultant assures me that Windows 10 is reasonably bug free and purchase another PC.

Apple products are marvelous machines/phones for people that are very technology oriented and knowledgeable but at the age of 75 I am neither.
I need something that is pretty intuitive and user friendly for a non IT person.

I don't know if this will help, but it fixed my problem that was similar to yours.

Perhaps you have Cookies turned off on Safari. I've been using that software since the beginning of the forum and have never had a password issue.

Just as a FYI you can reset your password here.
