Depending on some browser settings, you may be logging out of websites automatically each time you close your browser. This is a somewhat common browser setting. So, be sure to check your browser settings (typically this is found in the privacy settings).

If this is not the case, it's possible you have a corrupt cookie. To solve this problem, clear your cookies. This will log you out of every site though, but once you login again, it should stay logged in.

If you share the homepage on a desktop computer with others in your family (which I do), I recommend using multiple web browsers or browser logins.

Each browser will remember your unique ID, which will in turn remember your own personal websites, settings, and background.

Once you are logged in, click the settings button at the top right portion of the homepage. You can then choose to show or hide any of the many features that appear by default.

Option 1. If some of your icons appear odd, try to delete them, then re-add them.

Option 2. Still not fixed? Try signing out, doing a hard refresh of your browser's cache (CTRL + F5). Then signing back in.

Option 3. (persistent issue) If you still experience oddities, take note of your sites, and go to your account menu. Delete your account. Then, create a new account and add your websites back.

You can access your start page or homepage when opening up new tabs by using the Best Homepage Ever browser extensions.

They are available for free on the Open Homepage in New Tabs page.

Yes. Right-click on any of your websites and click Rearrange Sites.
Alternatively, if you use the toolbar, you can click the rearrange button

Then you can click and drag any of your websites. Tap the save button.
