[QUOTE="mac57, post: 351709, member: 17052"] Thanks all, you gave me the confidence that it does generally work to keep experiementing, instead of just writing it off as a bug. First of all, thanks Pulse-8 for the "duh" question. I have to admit I went and checked it again right away, just in case the upgrade to 2.5 had cleared it, but no, it is checked as it should be. Made me wonder if I had been that stupid though! :dive: After some dickering around, here is what I have found. If you just quit Skype WITHOUT first selecting Account->Logout, it actually does remember my username and pasword. However, if I exit Skype by first doing the logout step and then quiting Skype, it does not remember... it doesn't even show up in the drop down list on the login screen. Very weird - still feels like a bug to me. However, now I can have it remember me by just directly quiting without logging out first. Seems unnatural to me, but I will do it - saves a little typing time next time I log in AND it logs me in automatically when I start it as well - don't even have to push the login button. So, thanks all! Problem solved (or at least worked around)! [/QUOTE]
