You can't without modifying allot of code on allot of pages.

After studying the tactics of hackers who target Web Wiz Forums a new more secure login system has been introduced for the admin section that auto-login doesn't work on, so the forum admin needs to login into this section.

Without this extra protection hackers have been known to gain access to the admin section and not only delete entire forums, but as manipulate the admin section to allow them to gain access to the server and delete entire sites.

This is not a situation that anyone wants to be in, and as Web Wiz Forums prides itself as being one of the most secure forum system available toady, security is taken very seriously. So these new security measures were deemed as being necessary.
