Automatic logout?

[Fingers]

Before the recent changes, I used to stay logged-in most of the time. Now I get logged out after a few minutes' inactivity.

Is it supposed to work like this? It's very irritating, and I can't find a CP setting to change it.

Nobody know the answer and/or solution?

Am I the only one having this problem, or just the only one bothered about it?

I'm relatively new here but I've noticed it does seem pretty quick to log out. A bit of a pain, I agree.

Hmm, I'm not sure what would be causing that, I've stayed logged in per usual.

Have you recently changed your browser or the security settings on a browser?

I typically get logged out in the middle of an upload. Since it takes an hour or more to put up 5 or 6 20 MB files, I just do them on at a time, takes about 6-7 minutes each, but that way I don't get knocked off causing me to start all over again. Been like that for me since the beginning.

The same has happened to me. But it wasn't always like that. It was about two or three months ago that I started to get logged out. Before that, I would stay logged in for days. If someone has a suggestion how to change that I would appreciate it.

No and no. How could a browser setting do it in any case? It doesn't happen with any other messageboards I use, unless I tell the site to do it (and the FF site doesn't seem to have that option; ProBoard sites do, for example).

I'm pretty sure this started happening when you announced your new server a few weeks ago. It's intensely annoying.

Have to say, this has only happened to me once, when I left some video parts uploading. Took about 20 minutes though I think, and it would have been before the new server was installed.
So I can't really say it's ever been a great inconvenience to me at least.

If it's really bothering you why not ask one of the admins?
They are the guys who will know the answers to this sort of thing.

Try clearing your cookies, the session time out on the server has not changed.

Let me know how you get on, if its still a problem after clearing your cookies I will look further into it
