Well, that I've been writing about. Add a variable "rememberme" and a
variable "language" instead of a serialized "cookie". I didn't think about
new columns, that would take away the flexibility.

Thank you, will have a look into that.


On a second thought, I'll better wait on how 1.0 turns out. :-)
