Please bring anonymous browsing back!

PLEASE! Bring it back. It's such a pain when in middle of browsing I get the message to login I'm sure there are other people like me who don't want to login every time...

Yea, I've asked J about this and posted in the bug/suggestion forum - so I agree!

The absolute worst thing to do with a forum is force login, imo - bring it back one time J!

Afraid to have your browser remember your PAL password?

[MJ]

No, and we also have to re-login when viewing a thread at CAL.

Get in the habit of logging in before you start looking around. That's what I do anyway.

[xYassassinYx]

hmmm i never have to log in here...

[nirva]

That's because of a cookie, the "Remember Me" checkbox does it.

Not clicking remember me is essentially pointless, although a lot of people are semi-reluctant to check it often through a misconception of what it actually does. Unless you are in the habit of walking away from your computer in an open office environment mid session without logging off of your vbulletin sites there is no reason not to use it. Remember me only keeps a session log-in active, it doesnt remember your details if/when you log off.

Without remember me being clicked you're in danger of starting something on a vbulletin forum, and then when you come to send it/submit it the session being expired. Which naturally would be annoying.

Moral of Story: Dont fear the little old remember me

Jeremy explained why he did this on the last radio show. Makes sense to me, and shouldn't be an issue. If you don't want people to know you are reading, change it so you are invisible.

As someone that runs a forum I think this is actually a good idea. Why can't you login? If you are worried about security, set your forum password to something you use nowhere else and have your browser remember the details. If you are worried about people seeing you logged in, you can surf anonomously using invisible mode.
