I'd rather have a sentence of comment than a Like any day. That said, most of my posts here since the PNet 2.0 Reformation have been in No Words, so maybe I'm setting myself up for disappointment...

Mostly, MF lenses tend to fit only the camera system they were made for. There are adapters for a few cases. My 'best' (in a technical sense) MF camera is a Mamiya 645 Pro; an SLR. The lenses for it fit Mamiya's older range of 645 cameras, but not the 6x7 RB or RZ cameras or their RF press cameras. I think Bronica systems are similar; each camera has its own range of lenses. Even with an adapter, the image from the lenses for a 4.5x6 camera are unlikely to cover the 6x9 frame. If you are only going to get one camera, you need to look at the pictures you take, or maybe the pictures you like, and decide what aspect ratio you tend to see satisfying pictures in most easily. You could even do the art-lesson exercise of cutting out some cardboard frames; one square, one 3x4 (i.e. 4.5x6) and one 2x3 (or 6x9), and try composing scenes through them. Choose which shape you like. Of course, if you choose a big format camera, you may be able to adapt it for smaller pictures; you can get a 4.5x6 film holder for some square cameras. Some 6x9 cameras (I'm thinking about old folders) have masks to allow 4.5x6 as 'half frame'; your (fixed) lens is then quite long for the format - might suit your portraits. Since you are using 35mm RF, think about whether you want a RF for your medium format camera. Myself, I wouldn't be without ground-glass focusing. If you're up for something quite slow (and maybe clunky) to use, consider a press camera. I have a Graflex Century Graphic which takes film holders for square format, 6x7 and 6x9. Lenses, which have to be with a shutter, are whatever I can mount in a lens-board for it. Getting lens-boards was tricky, and I had to do some drilling to mount my lenses. The camera has a rangefinder, but which I can only couple for one lens at any time. So I had to do a little DIY making focus scales for the lenses which aren't coupled. The camera also has ground-glass focusing, and I'd use that every time for landscapes.

My Century Graphic only has backward tilt. It's mostly used in conjunction with dropping the bed, as Bob said. The bed drops by a fixed angle (and the lens standard tilts forward with it), which sets the maximum forward tilt. You use the standard's backward tilt to reduce the amount. You then use some front rise to bring the lens back into line. Or, there's enough backward tilt that you can completely offset the bed tilt, and the result is front drop with no tilt. I suspect the only reason the feature's there at all is to allow the bed to be dropped, so you can use wide-angle lenses without seeing the front of the bed in the picture. With a bit of awkwardness, you can mount my camera upside-down, using the tripod bush on the side, and use it as forward tilt. I've never done it in anger.

On the original question, I think the remember me function has gone. Remembering login details is offered by some browsers, including Firefox as noted above. I use Firefox, and don't usually have to log in. I guess that when I do, something has been reset at the site. I see that when I click 'New Posts', the URL of the page loaded includes a number; it was 85561 not long ago (so https://www.photo.net/discuss/find-new/85561/posts ) but the number gets larger every time. So if you bookmarked the 'New Posts' page you loaded on a particular occasion, I guess you would always return to a list of what was new on that occasion. For the sake of interest, I copied the URL including that number, and reloaded it a few times. I see that the elapsed time associated with each post in the list changes when I reload it, but new posts don't seem to be added. So the page to bookmark would seem to be https://www.photo.net/discuss/find-new/posts , without a number in it. ... but yes, anything you have just posted yourself falls outside the site's definition of new-to-you. If it were my site, I think I'd say that's a feature, not a bug.
