What's the box beside the Login button for?
Tick this box if you wish to remain logged, so that every time you visit you'll automatically logged in until such time as you click "Logout". This is not recommended for public computers as the next user would have access to your account.
Please note that due to the vagaries of computers and security software that from time to time you may have to manually login even though you ticked the box.

Why can't I log in?
This may seem obvious, but have you spelt your username and password correctly? Is the caps lock on or off on your keyboard as the fields are case sensitive.
