lately, i cannot stay logged in to sites i visit regularly (ie yahoo, macnn, etc).
everytime i boot up, i have to login again to these sites; never had to before (or, with yahoo for example, would be asked to login every day).
figure this is related to the keychain, or cookies...
any idea how to fix this?
thanx!

Don't boot up. Just put your Mac to sleep and keep the apps open (make sure your cache is deactivated or cleared regularly. Check your cookies.

For some reason Safari isn't keeping the "cookies" that these sites put on your computer. These cookies are tiny text files that only the site that dropped them there can access, and they tell the site that you're supposed to be signed in.
Where is that setting?...(This is me hitting Safari's help  ) Oh yeah. Go to the Safari menu and select Preferences. There are three cookie options-always, never, and only to sites I navigate to. I recommend the last one.

Go into your cookies and delete every one from ".macnn" (I have 6). Then shut down Safari, fire it back up, manually log into macnn. Check that these cookies are now present again.
Also, can you try another browser (Firefox ?) and see if it remembers your cookies correctly ?

Ouch! You get something to help you out and it stomps on your foot! I don't use Pithelmet, so I didn't know it could do that. I've filed it away for future reference.

for me, safari is the preferred browser, and pithhelmet is essential.
just upgraded to the newest version...that's where the problem was.
