Further to solution 1 here are some other suggestions

The wording of your post suggests that the list is getting cleared when you are not expecting it to be. In which case look at the ways it can get cleared from the links in these solutions and make sure you are not doing any of them inadvertently.

Also make sure you are using the same user credentials as these are per-user settings
