remember me for an hour is useless ..   annoying ..   and frustrating..    whats the point?   even after so many comments..  dotnetnuke.com still has the same value..  

how it should work is for a few days..  if you are online in that time period, it gets extended..    that is REMEMBER LOGIN...   or a year.   It says 'remember', not short term memory issues.

Sorry..  it is just frustrating to say Remember Login ..  for it to do nothing.

Brian, I agree with you. Fortunately, it's an easily configured value. Unfortunately, it's one of those things where you have to expend time and effort, and lean on the expertise of our generous colleagues here who know so much more about the inner workings of DNN, to find the "fix." (It's not really a fix, but a tweak, to be fair.)

Borrowing from what John just said, though, I do suppose that the short-duration, out-of-the-box 60-minute value might be so short because it's more secure to have a cookie duration of one hour as opposed to something lengthier. If so, I must have missed that memo. <g>

Anyway, I'm just happy to know about the tweak.
