This is something I have been wondering since I joined this community... How does it keep us logged in when we go to the Bugs tab?

    Through the wonder that is sessions.

    How would I go about setting something like that up?

    Uh... I would start with learning how to program in some kind of server-side programming language. Then I would investigate any functions within that language which allow you to interact with the cookies/headers. Then, once you have the PHP session ID from the cookies you can access the relevant file in the PHP session directory. Then you need to either write a method or find an existing one that will unserialize the data in the file. You can go from there... Obviously, the easiest way to do the above would just be to learn how to program in PHP as then the sessions are handled automagically.
