- vlad 20y agoTurn on auto-complete in Firefox and Internet Explorer and it's just a matter of clicking Login. PG has said in the past that you are logged out whenever the server is restarted.
- lupin_sansei 20y agoIt's still an extra 2 clicks each morning ;)
- BrandonM 20y agoI'm also logged out anytime I close and reopen my browser.
- reitzensteinm 20y agoVote up if you want to see the Arc source so you (ostensibly) can fix it yourself...
- ecuzzillo 20y agoIt wouldn't save any time to see the Arc source, since it runs on their servers, and PG would have to check any fixes to see if they worked and didn't ruin everything, which would probably take more time than just doing it himself. I'm all in favor of Arc being released, however, even informally and without any promises of updates.
- reitzensteinm 20y agoIt's a joke - I know we couldn't fix it, I just want to see the source. :)
- mojuba 20y agoIsn't it just 30 lines of elegant Lisp code? Write it yourself unless, of course you want the Holy Lispirit come onto you when looking at PG's code :)
- paul 20y agoMy login lasts for weeks. Is this just a matter of session vs stored cookies? If so, it should be easy to write a little bookmarklet which makes your cookie non-session.
- ralph 20y agoGo and find this request on the Feature Requests page and upvote it there. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=363 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=363
- walesmd 20y agoI'm all for seeing a decent login screen as well. It would take - what? - 3 seconds to toss the CSS at the top of that page?
- pg 20y agoOk, I just made cookies expire in the distant future. This new release also has more protection against various kinds of abuse.
- reitzensteinm 20y agoMoral of the story - post a topic instead of using the feature request post? Or would that get annoying too quickly?
- pg 20y agoI wouldn't encourage overusing this technique.
