urlgreyhot : $10 to whomever figures out my anonymous user page not found problems.
So it's not just me.
Drupal is a great CMS product, and has a wonderful developer community, but something bothers me. The "remember me" login feature was broken in version 4.3, and now it's been removed from 4.4.
A question on the mailing list got me this answer:
"The reason "remember me" was removed is not because the remembering is broken per se, the problem is that it is not possible to choose the
behaviour anymore due to PHP overriding Drupal's cookie. Whether or not you are remembered depends on the session persistence and lifetime settings in php.ini / htaccess. Check PHP's documentation if you are not getting the behaviour you want."
Developer hogwash! A community CMS should not be released with such a central feature broken.
