Wonder Why

Is there any way to offer a way at the Login screen to default to uncheck the "Stay signed in" setting?

For security and privacy purposes, I never stat signed in to any site and when I leave the site, I delete all cookies for it. So, for me, it would be nice to have a setting or option to get that page without the box checked.

Perhaps an option on the URL by adding #NoStay to the end which would automatically uncheck the box?

Thanks, Earl.

Yes, there's a box to check on the logon screen. Just uncheck it if you wish. sinkingfeeling Mar 8 #1

I mentioned the box in my O.P. I just don't want to have to uncheck it every time I login. Lots of sites, Wonder Why Mar 8 #3

particularly those involving finances (banks, etc) default to unchecked.

What I am looking at is a URL option that would uncheck it by default when the page comes up. Something like:
https://democraticunderground.com/?com=login#NoStay
or
https://democraticunderground.com/?com=loginNoStay

This way, I could save that option in my bookmarks to avoid unckecking, particularly when I use my Android tablet and my fat fingering can't hit the box.
