Well it will be a year before too long since this started and that kind of response is pathetic.
The "remember me" should set a cookie on the client browser and the server should "ask" for this on each new connect.
The functionality just isn't there with this design.
For instance, how do I ask it to show me only unread posts from threads that I have previously participated in ??
P.S. As for participation with this new software, mine will likely be cut short if I can't find an easy way to do what I want.
The other most common forum software all have a similar functionality; this one is way out in left field.
It is NOT better.
