Hi Don,
From what I can see it is working properly. If you log in to the Forum (and click "remember me") and then close your browser without logging off, you'll still be logged in the next time you open a browser and go to the Forum. I just tried this several times and I always stayed logged in until I actually clicked the logoff link.
Only when you logout is the cookie cleared.
If you don't click "remember me" you won't be remembered after you close your browser.
I hope that answers your question.
PS The "Currently Active Users" list does not come from who is logged on. It only lists users who have been active in a certain time frame. I couldn't find the setting right now but I think it's 5 minutes.
