On your login page, you have it defaulting to automatically log you in each visit or something like that. I'm not one to look around for boxes to uncheck when I login, I just login. I think that's bad practice for a security forum. You should have the box to keep you logged in default to not being checked. That's just my opinion. I see a login box I login, I don't fool around unchecking boxes that are hard to spot anyway. That could be bad in a public place. Peace.

true indeed..
but there is a nice Log Out button next to your nickname above.. just use that to log out and you are done..
and anyway I wouldn't recommend you checking out forums and stuff on public places.. I wouldn't anyway
I know what you mean.. but don't think the board should change some stuff cause of people not hitting the log out button when they are done visiting the board..

and the password isn't sent over ssl.
the login is not secure in anyway
the box is hardly NOT visible, and frankly i can't see how you would miss it, being right beside the login name portion of the page.
It even clearly states that it's bad practise for a shared computer, and you speak about it being a security site, i believe that anybdy security conscious would look for something such as this, but thats my general opinion.
I also believe that not everybody on this forum will have such tunnel vision to miss these check boxes. (or possibly such bad eye sight and with that, windows has such great accessibility features such as magnification and i believe it even scrolls across the entire page)
But thats just my opinion.

we can't fall into paranoia : |~~ if you don't like always login uncheck it. i don't think that my or your acc. has a big value (maybe for us only; i dont think it will beacame 'target') and can make any damage, and i'm sure that admins/mods keep their pass. safe

maybe the remember me option should be unchecked at default... That can be done with a little modification on the PHP script, just a matter of the checkbox default value, and same can also be on the small login screen... Such modifications can easily be done by people with average PHP knowledge, or even beginner knowledge.
