Extend cookie life | Site suggestions | Discussion forum

I agree. I find it a nuisance too.
However, I would still like to be able to voluntarily log out.

Having a limitation on cookie life could help with security in event of a hack, AND to the administrator, a way to clean up membership on members who have moved on and are not coming back. Would be better to have a time greater than 2 weeks though. A year seems ideal but 30 days could be fine too.

P.S. Is there a policy for account deletion? e.g. for those members who have expired and are never coming back?

Hi all -- thanks for the feedback! I've increased the "remember me" time to 1 year now. There's no policy on deleting old users, although I should probably delete accounts where the user has not posted after something like 30 days.  

Will we still have the ability to sign out during that year?

I would give people more than a month before deleting them. Maybe a year. There are a number of people who post infrequently, but that doesn't mean they aren't paying attention. They may not feel they have anything to add on a regular basis.

I would agree that one year would be more suitable as well for account deletion due to inactivity. Making it the same as 'remember me' seems logical.
