'Remember Me' Checked by Default in Navbar

Ok, so this is a painfully simple Template Modification, but I'm sure there are plenty of vBulletin users who would love to have the 'Remember Me' box on the navbar login form checked by default, so here it is:

Find the following in your navbar template (Its within the <!-- login form --> section):

<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>

Change it to this:

<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>

You'll be adding the part that's highlighted in green at the end of the 'replacement' code and telling the browser to check that box by default.

Thanks! I was tired of all the issues from people losing their session and always telling them to remember to click that box... I wanted to hack this myself but you saved me the effort... Thanks!

Glad you guys like it. I've never created a product or plugin before, but I'm (very slowly) working on turning this in to a nice simple and small product that would automatically make the template change.

I'm not sure what I thought was correct . Why don't you guys just set cookies time higher, like 99999 instead of modifying the template to force "Remember me" checked ???

Because if they are auto logged in and you use the hack to remove the logout button once you have banned them then they cannot log out

Installed, what a ripper of an idea. On other forums I visit I forget at times and get dropped out now and then.

For those visiting internet cafe's they'd be pretty darn thick to not clear their sessions prior to leaving, liken it to leaving your card in the ATM and walking off!

Thank you for this. I've had problem with this for a while and kinda tired of saying "check the remember me checkbox when logging in". Hopefully, this will solve the problem. Thanks again.
