Re: [issue] Remember/forget forgets but remembers
The patch has one drawback: old-time users of a TxP site will go to add another comment and discover that instead of having an unchecked Forget, as they’re used to, they’ll have a checked Remember. But once they post another comment, it’ll revert back to the unchecked Forget from then on.
This is because the patch decides whether the user has been there before based on just the txp_remember cookie, which hasn’t previously existed.
I could add auto-detection for the other txp cookies, but this just complicates code that is already too complicated, and I figure for the sake of clarity and minizing bugs, users can live with it.

Re: [issue] Remember/forget forgets but remembers
I have recently posted <a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=15458”>this</a> in the featured ideas forum. Basically I believe that the default behaviour of comments should be NOT to remember unless the remember checkbox is checked.
I believe this to be a safer method to non web savvy users who surf the net through public computers.

The proposed check boxes are nice.
