Cookie expires
It's just a minor problem, but I am a bit annoyed by having to login again each time after I close my browser. I noticed I have three antville-cookies, avPW (expires in a year), avUsr (in a year), and HopSession (which is per session). If I want to stay logged in from this computer, is it enough to modify that cookie, or is there maybe some other way to do this?

are - for security reasons - bound to the ip-address of your computer. so if you have a net-connection where the ip-address is changed frequently (eg. dialup, some adsl-variants) the cookie becomes invalid and therefor you have to login again.

What kind of security reason would that be - someone breaking into my computer and taking my cookings with him? If evil hackers can do that, they can also spoof my ip. That's a bug, not a feature.

Ah, thank you. I can see the problem. Update: Following your link, I saw that there has been a lot of debate on the subject., so let me add, Antville rocks. Thank you.
