Site Update: Stay Logged In
Just a small note to let you know that I have fulfilled a member request to add a “Stay Logged In” checkbox to our members login screen. I find this feature especially useful when clicking on Patreon or Blog links that take you directly to an image in our Archive.
To take advantage of this feature:
1. Enter your username and password at www.thanatos.net/members (new window), check the “Stay Logged In” button, and login.
2. Once logged in, bookmark the main category page: https://thanatos.net/galleries2/categories.php?cat_id=1 (new window).
At this point, accessing The Thanatos Archive by using your main category page bookmark should not require logging in. …. works for me, anyway! Let me know if you have any issues or questions.
