When I go to logon, Yahoo used to remember my logon and password, so I wouldn't have to keep typing. Now It doesn't. Any ideas.
Update:Yes, I got a new computer. But I figured it would ask me if it wants to save my logon and password. Running IE9 btw.

Many people are reporting that their auto-fill no longer works with Yahoo. Some users speculate that this is due to Yahoo's aggressive anti-spam policy or Yahoo is beefing up security to prevent hackers from violating customers' accounts.
Yahoo has not offered a definite solution to this problem but advises its users to re-check their browser's setting to ensure that cookies are enabled, auto-fill is enabled and that passwords are not being cleared when you erase your browser's history or when you clear your cache and cookies.
One suggestion is to change your password. When your browser asks if you want it to be remembered, check Remember password. This is only a suggestion and i do not promise that this will work.
Possible reasons that Yahoo does not remember your ID and password are:
-You may need to adjust your account settings to sign you out every 2 weeks instead of every day
-You may have signed out of your account
-Your password information may have been deleted when you cleared your cache and cookies
-Your web browser may not be enabled for "auto-fill", in which your browser will remember or fill in the password for you.
To set Yahoo to keep you signed in for 2 weeks:
1. Sign in to Yahoo
2. Click here: http://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile
3. Re-enter password
- this will take you to your Account Information page
4. Under "Sign In & Security"
- Click "Change Sign In Settings"
5. Select "Sign me out every 2 weeks"
6. Save changes.

Yahoo customer care no longer offers the option of contacting them regarding this problem.
Yahoo fired all the highest paid programmers, cut the pay and doubled up the work of the rest. Meanwhile, the CEO got a fat raise for a great cost-cutting reduction strategy.
The results are glaringly obvious.
People who have the "paid" version tell me they never have any problems. Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder why?
Yahoo never remember your ID/password of your account, it is done by browser.
Check your browser auto fill feature of your browser and check 'Keep me signed in' option on Yahoo login page.
Did you get a new computer? Because that may be the problem
