Title should be self-explanatory for you noble admins ^_^


Truth is, That the lenth in minuets that I the user can stay logged into AS WITHOUT ACTIVITY, is.. a tad too short.
For example, a person may be composing a lenth(ish :p) article.. that.. requires a bit of ponderating.. you know.
Or, more importantly, he may have to go take a very vast poo, THEN, finish the article! :lipquiver:
And it gets a bit annoying when you have to keep logging in so -

perhaps thou admins can consider that.
Thanks

Im sure there is something that allows you to "Stay Logged In".

When it asks you to log in again, see if there is a checkbox that you can select to stay logged in... or go to your User CP.

i'm logged in all the time as long as i'm on my personal pc but on work pc i wouldn't want to stay logged in. the session does expire quickly. i've had my session expire while typing a post..
but one option stay logged in and just sign out when done

I think there is a checkbox when you signing in.... and it says "Remember Me".
Check that box.

Its to the top right, just below the banners.

yeh.. its a bad idea to have it that long cause in the event that you forget to sign out on a public pc you could jeapordize your account.. Therefore I think its in our best interest to keep it at the current time length. I'll check and see if iincreasing it by a minute or two will help

If any case... IF you have a really long lengthy post to write... write it in the message box, then copy all of it before trying to save..
That way, if you get kicked out, you still got your message, so you go back to where you were and paste your entire message again and post it.

Yes it seems like a lot of work.. but hey, at least you dont LOSE you entire post. :p
