And the hits just keep on a comin ...

Hi all,

I've added what I believe is the ability to have your password saved on your PC so you don't have to enter it all the time when you come to TC ...

Imagine, never lose a post becuase you logged in incorrectly ... getting your private messages notification the second you visit TC ...

I think it needs some testing. Here's how it works:

• For this to work, you must have chosen the "remember my settings for 1 year" option in the "edit preferences" section. If you have to type your user name in (not just password) when you log in, then you'll need to turn this option on.
• To turn "Remember Password" on, you have to log in using the "login" link in the upper-right control area, or just click here
• When entering your password, click thie "remember password on this computer" option, just below the password area.
• For the next 30 days, you will not need to log in. When you visit the site, you'll automatically be logged in.
• To get turn this option, click the logout link. You'll be logged off and the next time you return to TC, you'll need to log in again.
• Currently the login only lasts for 30 days. Should it be more? should it be less?

I have put this together and tested it somewhat, but I'm not sure if it works. Try it out, and report back here in this email your experience (both good and bad). I'm really interested if it doesn't work or freaks out on you.

Mahalo,

Hanford
