look, for people that want to be logged in permanently, they click that option once. For those of use who DON'T we have to click it over and over and over. It will save seconds off our lives. Also, this will help decrease accidentl log ins to wrong accounts.

I threaded this awhile ago, and we talked about making it happen during the next upgrade, whichhappenned, and still this inanity goes on. Thanx all

I don't have accidental logins to different accounts.. why do you have more than one account?

I never said it WOULD happen in the next upgrade.

Based on cookies.. your problem isn't a big issue. And in your own words.. "seconds" will be saved.

Shana, the issue is not me logging into multiple accounts, but other logging into accounts that were automatically remembered.

Look, if you guys can code a different default that is more efficient, why refrain?

efficiency people. Its the only way to evolve into the Zerg

I would disagree. Heres the reasoning: You have to think about the efficiency in terms of its end behavior. As X increases towards infinity, how many times would the yes/no button be pressed? Those 98% would hit the yes button once, so the count would rise to a hig number, but only for a fraction of the INFINITE x axis! The 2% would never have to click. I agree it sounds counter intuitive. But lets assume for now that its 100000 clicks

The current way, you have that 98% never clicking, but 2% clicking an INFINITE number of times! That means you actually have an end behavior of infinity. so You tell me which is more efficient.

Well.. I've considered both arguements. As interesting as this situation is... we'll leave the system as is.

Thanks for your thoughts and your input on the matter.
