The easiest fix to this would not be to extend the expiration duration of the cookie, but to reset the cookie's expiration each time it's accessed.

So the cookie lasts three weeks. Each time I log in, that should reset the 3-week countdown timer. That way, frequent posters like us will never have their cookie session expire, regardless of the default cookie duration.

Take care,
