I signed up for an account a few weeks ago and decided to create it by linking the account with my Google email account.

The problem is, I can't seem to set my browser to automatically log in. When I had another closed account in the past on the site which I signed up for using the traditional email method separate from Google or Facebook, I was always logged into boards.

Is it not possible with a Google linked account?

It seems to be a strange quirk with the Google login. It'll only keep you logged in for the duration of the session (and also logs you out after 25mins of inactivity). To remain signed in for longer, you do have to go down the username/password route.
