Brian, I don't know what the dotnetnuke.com cookie duration value is, but it's definitely more than 60 minutes. My cookie was still active after exiting the site yesterday afternoon. The key is to avoid logging out if you want it to remember you.

I've been giving this some thought. The real "problem" is a usability issue. The user is unlikely to know that logging out destroys the cookie. Perhaps selecting the "Logout" link should send the user to a page which has appropriate messaging on the further option to log out while still having the site remember the user, or log out and not be remembered. Maybe this could be configurable by the admin. Just thinking out loud....

Yep. I had the same problem for over 2 years... This helps!

Maybee dnn can make a page with settings on setup/install wizard.

Thanks all.
