I noticed that when I shut down my PC and On it another day, I can still post threads in this forum whitout needing to log in again (I didn't log out when I shut down my PC yesterday). I would think if a log-in time of some hours, say 8 hrs, is implemented, it will auto log-out 8hrs after you logged in. It should be useful for absent minded people like me.

Just a thought.

Yeah Sirsteve, thanks for the advice. Does it means when I shutdown my PC, then my status is "Offline"?
