I will look at the login stuff tonight. Right now it's only storing the login information on the server for a 3 hour period. I'll add the cookie information that will be stored for a couple weeks at a time. That should take care of that!
Also, the highlight/new functionality is something that i'm planning out and will be added once more soon. I'm deciding how to best store this information for each user right now.
Ok, so the list of needed tweeks is still long, but the login length should now be off of that list. As of now, passwords will be stored 14 days from your last access, so hopefully a lot lss logging in will be required.
