I've noticed that on YaBB 3.0 they decided to go with a 'remember me' checkbox instead of a list of user choices for cookie length.
Personally, I think this is a great idea (the default being unchecked) and should overcome this issue (as kestosippi's members can't be the only ones not logging out on public machines.)
Any thoughts?
Obviously in kestosippi's case, a login default time of 1 hour can be implemented. Thankfully, whatever an admin changes can still be modified by members.
I think the way YaBB designed the login process is perfectly fine, so it really doesn't need to be changed.
If you mean what you wrote, that YaBB 3.0 chose to go with a
"remember me" checkbox
instead of
a list of user choices, i.e., that this checkbox is in lieu of any other choice, that would of course be a terrible idea. It wouldn't even make sense.
But that can't be the case, so I must have read you incorrectly, and shouldn't have taken you so literally. Please clarify. I'm still coming out of a bad case of the flu.
Arrrggggh!So my gut's telling me YaBB 3.0 allows for more than just the
"remember me" option, in which case that would be a good option to include.

Flu induced thoughts ahead;
you've been warned:
Any time that a user has less choice in how they can use their membership, this is a bad thing.
I think too many admins disrespect their members in terms of being dictatorial about what they can or can't do. Obviously, sensible rules should be in place so that members in general can have the freedom to enjoy the place. But beyond that, too many rules is overkill.
Too many times I've seen admins drive away their members, and keep potential members from joining simply because they have obvious control issues. It's one of the reasons that so many forums have relatively few members.
