There are two ways that I know of to stay logged in.

1. Check 'use custom session' and set a long expiration time.

2. Use the autologin hack.

What is the difference? Would it do any harm setting sessions to expire after say one year?

Might depend on your site size. (to be exact the number of users usually online)

Using extended sessions over the autologin will increase server load. Mightn't matter much for low traffic sites (under 100 visits a day, depending on server), but larger sites it could have the potential to bring the server to its knees.

Thanks for that, I will go with the login hack.

I think the login hack should be decommented in the core XOOPS download package, perhaps with a switch and a notice regarding security.

I want to use it so that users can keep their chosen theme alive without having to login and reset it all the time. I succesfully used the xt_temas module however it had side effects which I was unable to resolve. - Basically it broke my address book module.
