Members Idunno Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 Why is there a little check box on the log in asking that? It's seems unnecessary. Obviously, if I log in I don't want to be kicked off simply because I take a few minutes to post something. But, if I don't check that little box and subsequently take a few minutes to post a thread response I will be instead generously gifted a pop-up window advising me that I am not logged in. How inane is that? Admins, if I make the effort to log in and participate don'tcha' think my intent is to stay until I physically log out or otherwise leave the site? I actually need to check that stupid little box to clue you in about that intent? The log in act itself isn't sincere enough? I realize it's the software but sentient people are supposed to be writing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 I think that is for the next time you come to HC you don't have to log in. That's how it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 The "Remember Me" box instructs your browser to allow vb to set a cookie in your browser with your login information. It eliminates the need for logging in every time you come to the forum. It works... although the cookie evidently expires in about a month and you have to login all over again.

Members Grant Harding Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's a conspiracy. You should post a rant about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted March 28, 2015 Members Share Posted March 28, 2015 Wait, who are you again? Oh, never mind, I know. You're Old What's His Name, that's right. Seriously, I don't use that feature anyway so it doesn't matter to me. FWIW, I used to write programs and you would've been hard pressed to tell they'd been written by anyone sentient.

I realize it's the software but sentient people are supposed to be writing it. I've found that if you use tabs or separate windows, some pages may time out and return the login thing but VB still has may have you logged if you can access the mother page.

Members Idunno Posted March 29, 2015 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 I know what the check box is for and what it sets up regarding the login. The question is rhetorical and points to the check box's redundancy relative to the login action itself. If I log in there should be no need of an additional check box to lock-in that action, nor should I be kicked out after the lapse of a certain period of time. But, some genius figured the check box was needed, adjusted his glasses and dove into writing the code for it. Then he back-tracked and wrote additional strings of code to time-out the login just to qualify writing the string of code for the check box. Then, he went about his business of writing viruses for the highest paying anti-virus companies who employ him to keep their products viably relevant.

Members recordingtrack1 Posted March 29, 2015 Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm not sure I have ever received the "you are logged out" window, but that would certainly be irritating. Whenever I have a long rant that I want to pursue, I open a blank MS Word file and type it up until it meets my expectations. Then I just copy and paste it into the appropriate thread. Works well. I use two video monitors so I can read stuff on one and type stuff on the other. It is a neat set up and my second monitor I picked up at a local flea market for $20 bucks. If ya'll don't use two monitors you should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FretFiend. Posted March 29, 2015 Members Share Posted March 29, 2015 Consider the situation if you log in from a public computer, like at a library or computer lab. I don't think you'd want your login credentials to be stored on said public computer for anyone to see and use. The check box gives you the option of preventing that. (to a limited extent.)
