prone to thinking they'd been dropped as subscribers.


Jim,

The cookie DOES renew each time you log in. Logging in means entering your account and password. Is there some reason you can't / don't do that?


Oy veh! I need to remember not to say "Log in" and instead say "visit the Gio site." This is the only place I've ever found the definition of log in to be restricted to the manual entry of a password... in my world it also includes admission via a stored cookie. Also in my world I'm not "logged in" unless I'm engaged in an active session with the site. It makes no sense to me to say I'm still "logged in" if I haven't visited the site in a week.

That said... in the spirit of "when in Rome..." let me try again and see if I get a different response... and hope I can get used to this definition for the future...

30 days would be a lot more convenient (and a lot more "normal" vs other sites) if the stored cookie were renewed for 30 days each time I visit the Gio site.
