Is there any way you guys can increase the time allowed for no activity before you have to log in again? I recently took ten minutes or more to compose some [slightly longer] posts, ands when I went to post, the board had kicked me off, causing me to have to log in again. I lost everything I wrote, and was too pizzed off to bother writing it again. It might be possible for people to read without posting, or step away form the computer, or take some time to think before they write [yeah, I know--unusual here]and the extra time would be appreciated.

Adjust time for board activity before re-log in required?

03-01-2009 11:25 AMNot sure how I did it, But my main computer stays logged in all the time (running Firefox).
The laptop requires me to log-in as does my work computer.
Running IE on both of these machines.
I'm thinking you might be able to change the settings on your end."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

03-01-2009 11:51 AMI have heard about this from another member and I asked if he had turned on the remember me section in windows for log in's. He said no and didn't want to do so and still has the problem. I have mine on and have never been booted off and it sometimes stays on all day long.

03-04-2009 12:20 PMYou have to check the "remember me" button...otherwise, of course the PW will expire depending on your local computer browser settings.

03-07-2009 04:51 PMThanks, guys. For privacy reasons, I often click "do not remember my password" in the browser at login...so I thought that was a possible reason, but the idle-time issue sounds more like it. I suppose I spend too much time thinking...not enough drinking. Have to fix that!
PS: Please add the new "deluxe" broccoli to the smilies!
