>- see footer for list info -< Obviously that would presume he has his own dedicated server and full access to the cfadmin to set the client variable expiry. As you yourself use a shared server, that would be quite an assumption to make. And Also assuming that all hosts us ethe default 90 days, which they probably don't because this decreases overall performance due to the size of the clientstorage database.
I simply asked you to explain how your theory would work, if you don't want to do so then fine, but no need to start getting abusive about it.

Nothing mentioned about a non expiring auto login in original post, just your angle on it (often there is a 90 day limit on those remember me things), and if that was required then clearly client variables would not be the way to go. I even asked whether this was not correct earlier, I'm not making out to know that it is the right thing to do. But it does work and I have used it in exactly the circumstance that the original posted question was referring to. Was a simple suggestion so please chill the **** out.
