Default Uh can we lengthen the life of the wrox cookie?

OK This is ridiculous and annoying, the login cookie only lasts for a couple of weeks.

Let me tell you a story!

One day, unbeknownst to poster who has just spent twenty minutes formulating a reply to a topic, carefully gathering information and research for the poor sap that can't make heads or tails of their code, the poster clicked "post reply"... The *(!@#$* cookie is expired, your reply has been lost because the @#$%#@%$^ site has not designed a method to retain the value of the @#$%@$% reply field. One would think that "Invalid username or password, Click here to correct" Would transfer all that hard work back to the previous page... making use of a handy thing called hidden fields.

Let's see a feature like "save password" should put that !$#%@#$%^ thing in there for 20 @#$%@$^ years!!!!

I'm sorry I have to rant I've been burned by this several times, because you see since the last time it happened its been several weeks and by the time it happens again I've forgotten all about it again! Please for the love of all things sacred, fix this!

Good Day!
