    Default logging in?

    so how does this logging in thing work. I came here this morning and it says I'm already logged in. How'd it do that? That's cool. I'm kind of any idiot about this stuff but I'm a curious idiot

    Default Not using log out

    If you quit just closing the explorer (Browser) window, you remain logged in as the system does not remove the cookie. Then as soon as you visit back, it find the cookie and welcomes you.

    I have forgotten a lot of times to log out before quitting. The bad thing is that you may fool the guys logged in making them believe you are there when you aren’t. Ilya, am I right.
