| Please add an option to remain logged in. Having a simple "keep me logged in
on this computer" checkbox like most other modern sites would be really nice.

But that would take out the fun of logging in every 5 minutes!

If I am correct 'keeping logged in' was normal before Bricklink got hacked
a few years ago.
After the hack they stopped this feature because it made the site more vulnerable.
I don not know for sure if this is right in what I remembered of it, also not
why this would make BL more vulnerable.

That is pretty much what I remember.
I am not sure it actually made BL more vulnerable, except that whomever hacked
in can stay in for longer (could do more before they had to login again, which
could make a difference depending on exactly how they got in).
I also suspect that upon being initially hacked, that there was a lot of guess
work involved in attempting to make the site more secure.
LOTS of sites do an auto logout, and much of this really irritates me. I have
actually left sites, and taken my business elsewhere, due to this feature.
Really it depends on how fast the site logs me out, and what I am doing on the
site.
