Re: Can't login to my account because of oversight - help!

No, it isn't brain surgery, and yes, it is silly, but I'm still not able to log in. I originally registered when using Tahrpup 6.0.2 and switched over to Tahrpup 6.0.5 (which I've used previously) about a week later. I had been able to log in with either version of Tahrpup with no problems, at least not until the day I was posting my question in the Firefox Bugs forum. When I registered I neglected to read the FAQ (I know, big mistake) and figured since I had had no previous issues with posting here, there would be no problem this time. The trouble started after a couple of re-log ins.
In the FAQ there is a question 'Why do I get logged off automatically?' The answer is if you don't check 'the log me in automatically' box, you will be logged out after a preset time. I type slow, and made several edits to the post before I finally submitted it. I did not check the box during the initial log in, or any of the re-log ins. Hence, the repeated automatic logging out which occurred as a result of the 'oversight' I mentioned at the top of this thread. After a couple of successful re-log ins the problems started with the dreaded captcha loop. I then went through the FAQ and discovered my mistake.
I have seen a similar box on log in pages of other websites, but the wording was different - 'Keep me logged in', or some variation of that. 'Log me in automatically' to me implied that the user would be choosing to be automatically logged in with a single click. I never use the option of allowing a website log in screen to auto-fill in my username/password. 'Log me in automatically' sounded like something along the same lines, which is why I would not check the box.
Thank you for the link, but I know where my own post is in the Firefox Bugs forum - I check it every day.
I don't have problems logging into other sites, go figure.
I'll take another look at Stylish, since from what you say, I apparently had a mistaken first impression of it.
Thanks everyone - mightyglydd, DanRaisch, James and Frank Lion over on the Bugs forum for your help.
In future, if I have any other questions I'll rely solely on the search feature and not attempt any more posts. I tried everything I can think of with no luck, and at this point it's a waste of the moderators' time to ask them to pursue this any further.
If I become aware of anything else I've overlooked, perhaps I can resolve this on my own.
