This has been bugging me for a very long time and I was too lazy to deal with it till now.
Firefox 1.5.0.5 does not remember my login info (user name / password) whether I am in the main forums section or am trying to post. I have a Firefox Extension called LoginManager - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1890/ which is supposed to allow you to be auto logged into sites. I have yet to figure out how to get it to work tho. The following is what I have tried to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
URL - http://forums.slickdeals.net/
Name - SlickDeals
Fields: (have tried multiple combinations)
name="vb_login_username" / User Name
name="vb_login_password" / Password
There is a guide here: http://guggero.org/LoginManager1.1_howto.pdf
I did notice that when I view form details there seems to be other info.
<input id="navbar_username" name="vb_login_username" size="10"> <input id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" name="cookieuser" value="1">Remember Me?
Password <input name="vb_login_password" size="10"> <input>
<input name="s"> <input name="do"> <input name="vb_login_md5password"> <input name="vb_login_md5password_utf">
I welcome posts that keep in mind that I still am a n00b. Thank You.
YES! I just figured 1st part out!

Some sites, including many banks and a few other sites such as Yahoo Mail and Microsoft Passport, tell browsers not to remember passwords for visitors using autocomplete="off". This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete="off" temporarily, allowing you to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete="off".
Use this bookmarklet just before submitting the form with your password in it. When you submit the form, your browser should offer to remember the password (as if the site didn't use autocomplete="off"); click "Yes". Once your browser has your password stored, it will ignore autocomplete="off", so you won't have to use the bookmarklet each time you visit the site.
Thanks to Erich Iseli for making the bookmarklet work on the Passport site.
This bookmarklet only works on sites that use autocomplete="off" to prevent your browser from remembering passwords. If the site uses another method to break your browser's password manager, such as having two password fields or submitting the form using JavaScript, this bookmarklet won't help.
NOW all I need to figure out is how to get LoginManager to autologin...
