I am a member of a professional's forum and everything would be great if it wasnt for one glitch. The forum requires its members to login once every 10 days, otherwise their accounts are deleted.
As I often tend to stay away from the internet for over 10 days, my account gets deleted notoriously which is very annoying.
I tried to contact the administrator but seems it's a no-go option.
Therefore, I want to ask whether there is some program (that executes itself [logs in] when windows starts up, then terminates), shell script, web bowser plugin (Opera preferably) or any other way that would use my sure name and password to logon on the forum once every 8-9 days unattended?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

You realize this *script* would need to run off a server...
Having said that, try over at www.hotscripts.com to run something on a server... -
hmm you can use a Macro bro , you can use any Macro for Windows Program
-
Prasad: What server do you mean? I hope not the one with the forum on it.
vinumsv: I am not sure how would I run this macro - in what program? -
I meant your own server to host a bot on to do your logging in from time to time.

If it is important to you, you will find the time to actually log on; otherwise, you appear to have made your choice.

That's a little bit cold. That's like saying "I have the medicine you need, but it costs a million dollars. If you really need it, you'll find the million dollars. Guess you made your choice.". Besides... he has a computer. It raison d'etre is to automate manual tasks. I'm sure that VBScript or something has the ability to do that. If your browser remembers form fields (or even just keeps the cookies), you could even just write a simple script to start up IE, log you in or just go to the site, and then close. Put the script into your scheduled tasks to run at 2am every Tuesday, and you should be set.

Perhaps it was a bit harsh. Not quite in same same league as your analogy related to financing health, but nevertheless, I do agree that the various automation and scripting options proposed should be a workaround solution to the effects of the problem.
Kind of an odd forum that deletes its members in such a short interval. I have held positions that required me to be away and off all systems for ten days to two weeks (consectutive) annually.
