Aye, indefinite ones or very long ones probably wouldn't need to be specified. Copying what I said on Bug 60437 over to here (sorry about it winding up over there initially): The expiry time should not be displayed if it's set to indefinite. This may also apply if it's set to a sufficiently long duration (for instance if it expires after 6 months, that may well be plenty that it doesn't really matter anymore), though what the boundary would be, or if this is indeed that case, is more up in the air. It is most important to specify the duration where it is shorter, such as of a week (wikitech), 30 days (wikipedia), etc. There, the logins will be expiring quite frequently, and for the users, quite unexpectedly: if they told it to keep them logged in, it will appear to them that they are being logged out after they specifically told it to not log them out, because that's what it said. > For Facebook, the main cookie expires in one month if it's checked, similar > to our current behavior. Hey, just because Facebook does something, that doesn't mean it's a good idea. I mean, yeah, I doubt it causes them any real problems, but we can still do better. (In reply to comment #47) You're wrong. Stating that things are completely obvious does not make you not wrong. Interestingly, if you revert again, you'll be past three reverts on this bug. You're from Wikipedia, right? They have a rather neat three revert rule... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
