BTW: I implemented the warning message (”Your last filters are active. Click clear to reset them.”) and it gives a much better feel for what’s going on.

I think the info box is a good solution! I’ll probably do it and see how it feels!

How about a small info box (or even something more elegant, using DHTML) informing the user that “these are the filters you chose last time you were here, 13.9.2005 15:10. If you do not want “state saving” click here to disable it”.

I am not sure either if people will like it. At least I can turn this on or off through a single flag, so I’m prepared to ditch it if it’s ill received.

Interesting. When you get to beta I’ll be curious for you to update us on how that feature was received. I did this with the queues in HelpSpot very early in development, but it just didn’t work. Often because you wouldn’t run a filter for days and when you came back to it the view seemed to be wrong, because it wasn’t in the default order.
