To have the 'Remember Me' checkbox automatically checked for the users of your messageboards, you can change the following code in the files listed below.

(PLEASE NOTE: As with any time you are making changes to files, you should make a back up copy of the affected files before you make any changes)

You will need to change the code in the /includes/common.php and /login.php files as follows:

1.)In the /includes/common.php file, change the line:

$ltemplate->setTemplateVar("REMEMBER_OPTION",$this->createCheckBox("remember_me",1,"",3) . " {$lang_str['R_ME']}");

to:

$ltemplate->setTemplateVar("REMEMBER_OPTION",$this->createCheckBox("remember_me",1,1,3) . " {$lang_str['R_ME']}");

2.)In the /login.php file, change the line

$template->setTemplateVar("REMEMBER_OPTION",$html->createCheckBox("remember_me",1,"",3) . " {$lang_str['R_ME']}");

to

$template->setTemplateVar("REMEMBER_OPTION",$html->createCheckBox("remember_me",1,1,3) . " {$lang_str['R_ME']}");

This will cause the 'Remember Me' checkbox in the users pop-up login to be preselected as well as making the appropriate change in the login.php file behind the scenes.
