When logging in to the boards at school every time I have to choose to have the system not remember me. Think about it. How many times are you going to have to say "remember me- yes"? Ideally, once, because after that it will remember you. However, if you're in the habbit of logging in on a public computer, like I am, having to change this option every time is troublesome.

I recomend that this option be set to "No" by default. That way if you accidently forget to change it, no big. And the one time you set it to "yes" will possibly be the last time you have to see it (on that computer at least).

Thanks.

I don't know if you've noticed but there's also a quick login button, and every time you log out, it certainly can't remember you... (I know cause I visit abandonia from school sometimes)

why do you need to change it? just log in and then logout and it won't remember you. if that is what you want.
Offocurse it's good to be "remembered" ebcause you dont' have to log in everytime you want to write something on the board.

Me and that name go way back. It's gone through a couple of changes, but all are based around being a guest account. Maybe I'll tell you the story some time.

Meanwhile, yes I can log out, and yes I can change the option. The point is (1) everyone forgets to log out from time to time meaning somewhere there is a public computer that if someone else for whatever reason logs into the boards they'll be privy to my log in and (2) why have an option's default not set to what it should reasonably be set to for most of the time it's being used?

Hi,

I just checked the forum's system settings and there doesn't seemto be a field for changing that as the default value... now I might go and try to reprogram that but is it really worth that kind of effort? :P

Meh. it's just a tiny change in the html-code of the form. Even if it's generated by php that shouldn't take more then 2 minutes. But I've got no problems with the setting as it is.
You should always be careful with logins on public computers!

OPEN: Skin\s1\skin_login.php

FIND: <td class='pformright'><input type="radio" name="CookieDate" value="1" checked="checked" />{$ibforums->lang['cookie_yes']}
<input type="radio" name="CookieDate" value="0" />{$ibforums->lang['cookie_no']}</td>

REPLACE: <td class='pformright'><input type="radio" name="CookieDate" value="1" />{$ibforums->lang['cookie_yes']}
<input type="radio" name="CookieDate" value="0" checked="checked" />{$ibforums->lang['cookie_no']}</td>


Also, the Quick Log In will "remember you". And as it's been stated, it's better to remember to Log Out when you leave, otherwise someone could still use your account before it times out.

Okay, resurecting this old topic. I would really like if I didn't have to click off "remember me" when logging in at the school computer because for some reason I have to log in twice when I do. It's getting annoying.
