Logging into Laverda Forum

This is a question for web browser experts. A couple of days ago, and for some unknown reason, my computer decided to not let me stay logged in to the forum when I close my browser. Every time I open up my browser, I have to enter my Laverda forum username and password each time to log in to again, even if I tick the "stay logged in" box. It's a bit of a pain in the arse. I doubt it's anything to do with Laverdaforum specifically, but thought I'd ask just to make sure.

I'm using Microsoft Edge which probably isn't the best browser around, but it's the one I find least hassle to use. I've been through all the settings in Edge and have set the browser to not log out on closure. I've also included laverdaforum.com as a trusted site and saved my log in data within MS Edge, but it still logs me out.

I tried resetting MS Edge to default settings. No joy there either.

I've also checked my Microsoft account security settings and could find nothing in there that would log me out automatically.

This automatic log-out business started spontaneously a couple of days ago. I haven't installed any browser or operating system updates, but perhaps there was an automatic software update of some kind that changed my settings, but it's got me stumped. I should add that I'm not a computer nerd, so it doesn't take much to baffle me with this sort of thing.

Are there any computer whizz-kids out there who could give a clue what else I could try.
 
Hi,
it is a Problem of your Cookie-Settings.

Must look to the Cookie-Settings to allow them, to safe username/password.

I've set it to not clear cookies for laverdaforum.com but it makes no difference.
The best I've been able to do is to set it to autofill my username and password in the login screen. At least that saves a bit of typing.

The thing I don't understand is why computers suddenly change the way they do things without any instruction to do so. The thing had been working fine for years and I'd changed nothing in my settings, but it now works differently all of a sudden.
 
That's happened to me, just not here. Maybe it's auto-updating. My latest issue is a sudden change in the way my taskbar records new websites. Pisses me off suddenly having to decipher and learn how to do something that was easy to do the day before. So much of programming involves self-perpetuated closed circuit knowledge, how hard is dialling back the tech so non-pros can decipher stuff? What's bleeding obvious to a programmer with years of experience is gobblygook to my Luddite brain, guess who buys your tech? My favourite is looping, just like that Bugs Bunny cartoon where the expressway has no exit, you get somewhere with no obvious answer, so you go around and around.
