Change to 'remember me' in login page
Two days ago, I was on easter holiday spending a few days in the youth hostel on the Dutch island of Texel. It was snowing (yes, indeed, at Easter of all times!) and it's a little island so I bought a 5 euro hour on the Internet to make a new quiz on my site. Oh horror: I could not login. Only when I cleared the 'remember me' box on the login page, I could access the site. That has probably something to do with persistent cookies or other food, but then it hit me: so that is the reason why so many new users on the site don't fill in their profile page or have a 0 score! All people on Internet kiosks in Internet cafes probably have problems logging in. So I changed the behavior: the 'remember me' box is now by default unchecked. It will help everybody to log in. But for people returning to the site, they'll have to provide their userid and password again, except when they check the box.
