Changes in 4.8 - Auto Login Sessions & Active Logins
Due to changes in the behavior of Auto Logins as well as user sessions when we release Version 4.8 on Wednesday, September 10th all users will be logged out and all auto login sessions will be removed. This means you will have to log back in and/or choose "Keep Me Logged In" again.
If you are using Auto Login, please ensure you know your password. You can change it on your My User Page by clicking the button under the Account Info heading to ensure you know what it is currently.
In addition any active logins will be logged out when Version 4.8 is released.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, but these changes are to add functionality to the login system in Version 4.8 as well as to increase security.

Wow Stephen - what a terrific and proactive notice to send us. As a network administrator, I took one look at that and wished it had occured to me. Thanks for an excellent job of thinking ahead about how this change could affect us (or flood your help desk) and getting us thinking about it.
