Forgetting my login
Does anyone else's web browser forget that it's supposed to be logged on to this site? My Windows laptop, Mac desktop and Android phone all forget that I am logged on to this site after about a day. Is there a 24h cookie expiration set somewhere?

Not that I know of, though I'm never far from here anyway
Do you use any program that bins cookies? Like CCleaner etc. The one I use I have to set an exception or it deletes the cookie and I have to log in again.

Re: Forgetting my login
I never run any of those programs. I try to be careful where I trawl and stay away from dodgy sites (unlike you lot, it seems).
Besides, this happens across a number of platforms for me, so I cannot blame it on anything specific, except this site as I don't have this issue anywhere else.

Re: Forgetting my login
Steve, cookies are generally harmless. Yes, they can track stuff but they are essentially harmless. They are mandatory for most sites you visit these days... But I take your point. Stuff that's 'left behind' by various sites would usually come in form of an applet, plug in, Flash or whatever other form of programs can execute on your browsers. Also, it depends on what OS you're running...Windows will be affected far more often by malicious code than Linux, OS X or Android.
I do run AdBlock in Chrome, though, so that keeps a lot crap from being shown in the first place.
Back on topic, I think when you click "remember me" here, there's an expiration time set on the cookie...be it 24hours or whatever. But need nick to really look at it. Unless some other admins can look in the admin panel if there's some validity period set for 'remembered sessions'?
