No, i don't login when I just browse around on Amiga.org. But for posting (like now) it's required.

Normally  I do not, unless posting, as I'm too lazy I guess...

I do not care for auto logins or cookies on websites I visit due to security concerns (not sure if my concerns are valid or not, but I recieve a lot of spam these days).

I use Opera, and find it very handy on your site.

Why do you ask? Would you guys prefer we did log in?

I don't know of any security issue with auto-login, not even an issue with IE and autologin, let alone a decent web browser :-)

There is only really a spam issue if your email address shows up on a publicly viewable web page.  Which is why I unticked the 'let other users see my email address' box on AO.  The amount of spam I received afterwards dropped drastically.

No, I was just intrigued by the usual "who's online" statistic being twice as many guests logged on as members.

I only log in when I want to post or reply, just like right now.
Since I have my browsercache an cookie storage set to RAM: I`m loged out with each reset.

I never log out, so a lot of the time I don't need to log in. Although I've been messing with my cookie settings recently so that might change. I always log in straight away anyway cause I hate it when you want reply, then have to login, which takes you to the front page and you have to find the thread again... :-) Also to check for PMs.

I use Mozilla Firebird 0.7. The best browser in the galaxy! :-)

Usually I the only ocassions when I'm not logged-on while here is when I've briefly followed a Story-Link from another site!

When here on purpose I Log-on first, often with a click in the OKAY Box provided by Mozilla 1.0.0 for auto . . . . pity that its slower than just typing my ID straight away!

I'm logged in only when I must write something. Normally when I'm just
surfing I use my IB 1.22 which can't login to A.org anyway...
