Cookie expiration suggestion

Posted by Jason at June 28. 2007

Can you guys fix the cookies on the site so they never expire or expire every two weeks?


It is a pain in the neck to login everyday I come to the site. Most message boards keep you logged in until you tell it otherwise.


Thanks,


Jason

Jason,


We'll test this out for a bit to see if performance suffers. Each logged in user takes up a little bit of free RAM on the server, but we have a little overhead in that area. If the server runs out of free RAM, then it starts to "thrash," (swapping between RAM and the hard drive) which significantly impacts overall performance.


I've set the server to save your authentication for 7 days, which means you'll only have to re-login once a week. Let's see how this goes for a while...


Marshall
