I'm new here. Typically I don't log in and out of the Forums I work during the day, I just stay logged in. Is there a way to do that here? If not, no big deal, it's just more convenient for me.
Thanks!

In summary, the "Stay Logged In" feature allows users to remain signed into a website even after closing their browser by storing a unique identifier cookie on their device. It is generally considered secure, but users should keep their devices and browsers up to date and use strong passwords. It can be disabled in the website's account or security settings and should work on most devices, but may have exceptions. The duration of the feature varies depending on the website, but it will usually be disabled after an extended period of inactivity.
