Title: "Remember Me" -- persistent cookie Post by: Paul Petersen on March 12, 2008, 08:54:39 am Jon will make fun of me for using a technical term here, but I think it would be really nice to have a "Remember Me" checkbox on the login that leaves a cookie with no timeout on my browser. I don't really like having to login every time I reopen my browser. The message board already has this feature, but the blog itself does not. Also, I think this might solve the problem of getting "kicked out" of the blog in the middle of post. I think people know what I'm talking about here: you write a nice, detailed post, click "Submit", and you end up on the Blog front page with your post completed nuked.

Paul, I didn't really see any technical terms there, anyways, so can't say anything. When I hear "remember me", I think more of flowers and greeting cards and stuff like that, rather than technical things.

I thought it might incur your wrath. Good point about those who share computers with blogging spouses. I guess they could just uncheck the "remember me" checkbox if it's an issue.

Remember me = relationships, cookie = food, and time out = sports (or young children). Nuthin technical about it. Though I may be gaining understanding into why my wife thinks I have an overly simple thought process... |
