Login screen now defaults to "keep me logged in".

I log in every time I use MN, mainly to stop my computer savvy kids logging in and finding out my user name.

The login screen now seems to have defaulted to having the "keep me logged in" box permanently checked. Given that anyone who wants to stay permanently logged in will have already checked that box and won't be visiting that page, can it go back to being unchecked iyswim.

Otherwise one day I'll forget to uncheck it, I'll be outed by a curious teenager, and there'll be no more Mardy. Grin

Bump. That makes two of us then. Anyone else?

I noticed that, and considered it just a minor irritation to now have to remember to untick that box every time I log in.

But you've made a good point. Someone could be outed/discovered by much worse than a curious teenager. It would be much better (and in a few cases much safer) if the default was returned to being unchecked.

Just me then?
