No matter that I unchecked the "Valid" checkbox in the World of Minecraft client (2.0.6 and 2.0.7), next time I run it, it's checked again.

Well that's because it is set to be

Well that's because it is set to be checked on loading the client.. If you wish you can decompile the java files and make it unchecked by default, but surely you can just uncheck it every time pretty easily.

What a dumb answer!It's a

That answer doesn't even make sense dude.

It's a HUGE mistake to have it enabled by default, since the only reason that checkbox exists, is because of a problem that minecraft had, which is no longer there.

Of course it should remember my preference. All new servers are missing from the list, when the box is checked.

But it doesnt

The fact is, that it IS enabled by default and that's the way it is. Should it be changed now that the minecraft.net issue has been fixed, yes, but its not.. The reason it was originally enabled by default is so that they wouldnt have to tell people to check it for their server list to work (since it was broken) and I'm surprised that is wasnt changed with the new update, but seriously, is it so hard to uncheck it every time (until it is changed or you go through and fix it yourself)?  I'm honestly surpirsed that you didnt complain that sign in was one word in 2.0.6, its not as if it's a terrible bug (the valid list itself, perhaps another story).

It's checked, and it should

It's checked, and it should not be. Unless someone calls attention to it, it will be checked forever.

Whether you think it's hard or not to uncheck it, is another matter and not relevant.

It has no relevance that it's not a terrible bug. It's a bug and it should be changed in future updates.

The fact that it's now checked by default, means that when people try to
find some specific server, they only see the mc: link, which for most
people will not work. Yes, I've seen plenty of people being unable to connect to someones server, only to find out, they were using the mc: link instead of the http: link, because valid was on.

The question is why you keep answering, when you have absolutely nothing constructive to say.

Sadly Enough

Sadly enough this is very late as I didnt see your last reply until a week after you posted it and didnt want to bump the topic for no reason, but since you bumped it youself, here's something 'constructive' for you. 

You have nothing to offer but complaints and impatience (and I'm not just talking about just this one post), you have every right to offer suggestions for bug fixes; however, there is absolutely no need at all for you to act like the client should be absolutely perfectly fine tuned for your needs (especially immediately as you seem to believe it should be).  IF you paid for the client you'd be entitled to ask for quick bug fixes (even then there would be no need to be so demanding), but the fact is, you, me, and everyone else here are lucky to even be able to use the World of Minecraft client at all, it is completely free, and could be taken away from you at any time.  Triddin and the World of Minecraft team spend and have already spent a great deal of their time to creating the World of Minecraft client and making it better and the fact that you have nothing but complaints is ridiculous.

It's not the suggestions that are the problem, dont get me wrong, but the way that you present them, as if you are entitled to everything you want for free and immediately.  It really makes me wonder why you dont just make your own client at this point, especially considering the two most recent 'bug fixes' you have offered take about 5 seconds to click through yourself without any problems.

It has nothing to do with it

It has nothing to do with it being suited to my needs. The "valid" button being always checked, is just in the way for everybody. Not just me. It serves no purpose anymore, and I've seen plenty of people not able to get on servers, because they didn't realize they were getting a "validated" list.

That it's free is not relevant.

You know nothing about what I contribute, and it has no relevance.

- "especially considering the two most recent 'bug fixes' you have offered
take about 5 seconds to click through yourself without any problems."

What on does this even mean?

Do you mean, because it would only take 5 seconds to fix the bugs, then it should also only take 5 seconds for me to make a new client from scratch? ridiculous nonsense.

Or do you mean, that since it only takes 5 seconds every time I use the client, to bypass these bugs/annoyances, then they shouldn't be fixed?

You are the one, continuously choosing to interrupt topics, without anything constructive to say, but just invalid reasons for why you think the topics are not important.

Look at the top of this topic. I report a bug/annoyance, and you come with almost nonsensical comment, about how I can decompile it. What kind of answer is that? Why not remove all support and bug topics, and just tell people they can just decompile and recompile to their needs?

Okay then

Alright, I'll shall go through your post, just like you went through mine, because you seem to want to continue this.

The fact that the valid button being checked stops some people from being able to log onto servers is relevant, but its not exactly difficult to figure out, the only reason that it should be changed to work like the remember me box is because some people (I guess?) dont realize that the list doesnt work. And I'm not saying it shouldnt be changed, what I'm saying, is that complaining about it because it's mildly inconvenient for you is ridiculous.

That it is free most certainly is relevant, if you paid for the service you would be able to complain about minor problems all you want without anyone bothering you, if you'll look at this topic, people dont seem to be up in arms about your suggestion.

I know exactly what you contribute as I can look through your posts just like you can look through mine and can see a lot of complaints there about either minor problems, or requests about things that are basically just for you, and on MOST of them you get the same amount of support as you are getting on this topic.

The 5 seconds part means that you can click through your fixes in about 5 seconds every time you load the client because you know what has to be done, not that you could create a client in 5 seconds; and to fix these 'bugs' would take considerably more than 5 seconds, and would not in my opinion merit putting out an entire World of Minecraft update for such a small 'fix.'

Perhaps what you consider 'constructive' and what I do, dont quite match up and I cant really help you there, if you cant see what I'm saying now, you never will.
 
There is nothing nonsensical about saying that you can simply uncheck valid every time you load the client about as easily as you can load the client in the first place, but what is nonsensical is calling the fact that you have to do that a bug.  Your second word here 'annoyance' is much more appropriate since that's exactly what the problem is, that clicking that box every time annoys you.

Finally, I have no problem with support/bug fix topics, but acting like something so simple is something that needs to be fixed immediately is ridiculous.  Now, I know it has been a while, but it doesnt seem like your impatience is really getting you anywhere other than into arguments about the merit of your topic with other World of Minecraft members, and not just me, and it's not likely to change in the future.

So, continue to complain, I realize that nothing I can say will stop you, maybe it'll work out for you in the end.

You realize the World of Minecraft Client is

You realize the World of Minecraft Client is free of charge and the Developers of it work on it in there spare time, and have more important things like jobs/families that come first. So you should be more patient and wait for when they can get around to fixing any bugs.
