Small tech problem

When I create a new nation, it sets itself to autologin. When I turn it off, it stops, but my main nation ceases to autologin either, (although its still set to autologin), until i go to settings, turn it off and then turn it on again.

Am I the only one who this happens to?

Nope, I've had this problem too.

Well, I turned off autlogin for my test puppet nation, and every time I go to NS, it logs into that nation, rather than this one...in which autologin is turned on...odd...

Yeah I know, this is annoying. Your puppet nation overwrites the cookie for your main nation, then when you diable it for your puppet, it deletes the cookie. You have to go into your main nation and turn auto-login off then on again to restore the cookie.
Best bet is to turn off cookies before you create a puppet, and then turn them on again.
If you upgrade from IE and use Mozilla Firebird, you can do this much more easily.
