I've tried several different browsers and I'm still having the same problem:

No problems for me. I just logged out, dumped my cache and logged back in. Safari browser. Apple laptop. All current.
You are posting here so obviously whatever you are doing does allow you to log in and post. Is the problem that you have to log in every time you access VSalon? The way VSalon "saves" a password is by affixing some kind of persistent cookie to your browser. It lasts until you dump cookies, caches or otherwise website data. If you have security settings that prevent persistent cookies or something set up to discard cookies/data upon closing the browser, then that might be affecting things.
I had problems for about a week. I worked around it by setting up a shortcut on my toolbar. Now it's fine, but I still use the shortcut.

Yes. I have to enter my screen name, which after typing the first letter, presents a pull-down with my screen name. Then when I click in the blank password field, it auto-populates the correct password.
Checking the Remember Me box does nothing toward saving my info for my next visit.

My settings are not to dump cookies and I've tried dumping them and clearing the cache several times to no avail. All other websites remember me. I'm befuddled.
Sounds like you may be using some sort of password manager, possibly the built-in password manager provided by your operating system. Unintentionally perhaps. That would explain why the scenario is the same regardless of browser. AFAIK, the appearance of a pull-down with cached user/screen names is not part of the VSalon site coding, but that is a common part of password managing software. Some browsers also allow saving passwords locally (meaning within the browser) but those shouldn't be available in other browsers.
I think your problem is you may be hitting velocipedesalon through http protocol first, for which your auth cookie that applies when logged with https do not work.
I had the same thing happening and simply setup my firefox to always open web page in their https version by default. You can find the HTTPS-ONLY mode config in Settings --> Privacy & Security.
Please note that it will lead to additional warning when visiting websites which are not configured to use https or that are badly setup.

Ideally the velocipedesalon web servers would be configured to redirect automatically to https. This is just one line to add in an apache or nginx http server config:
Apache (redirect statement)
Nginx (return statement)Code:<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com Redirect permanent / https://example.com/ </VirtualHost>
Code:server { listen 80; server_name example.com www.example.com; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }

I don't have Google but in Firefox the click steps are Firefox>Settings>Privacy & Security>HTTPS-Only Mode. The last section is quite a scroll down on the Privacy & Security page.

you can also type HTTPS in the "Find in Settings" dialog in upper right and you find it immediately:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've enabled it and will report back.
It worked! Thanks to both of you.
