Keep login time as forever

[Triggsta]

Could there be an option that you only have to login once and it will keep you logged in forever? Or perhaps a week or something. I get logged out every time I put my computer on standby and it's just a hassle to click the login link and then click the login button. My finger can't handle so much clicking :/

Yeah, i agree

The forum used to have that button, but it like disappeared.

I was wondering the same

That option has been disabled to prevent spam bots!

maby instead of disabling the option keep it in and add a code at the bottom to keep out spam bots, also spam bots seem to get throught 1nce and a while thats what i ve seen

What about putting the option back in, but needing to insert a CAPTCHA in order to make that possible?


And I agree. Spam bots are going to get their way in one way or another. That's why there are lovely administrators with the green, yellow, blue, and orange names that have the power to delete those messages :] and probably the blue and orange have the power of banning those IPs :]

I agree. I find having to click "login" every time I visit is starting to become a hassle. Spam bots are going to be here, and I think that most spam bots actually do their spamming the second they register (I may be wrong). The spam bots are going to get in, most likely due to phpBB (it's famous for that). reCAPTCHA is a really good free CAPTCHA system a lot of people use.

I am usually the early bird and I can honestly say since we have to log in everytime, spam bots have been at a minimum.

Before I use to have to delete and ban the spambots every morning ...


if your passoword is saved all you have to do is type the first letter of your login... arrow down once and hit enter and voila .. you are logged in ...


small price to pay for a spam free forum IMO

Well I honestly can't understand how that is stopping spam-bots by making it so they have to login every time. Because usually, the spam-bot will create the account and then immediately, once validated, will start posting posts. It's not like a recurring thing, and either way it couldn't be considering that they usually get caught like immediately by you guys

once they validate ... they set their profile and mark to keep themselves logged in. To come back and spam another day.
