I can't seem to find if there is a setting on how long you can be logged into the site before it kicks you off. I feel like it's logging me off in 3 minutes. By the time I write a post response and click submit, it tells me I need to login again. Is there a place to change this?

Thanks!

I have been logged on for about 5 years on my home computer, not sure how, but I use chrome as a browser.

Hmm. I use Firefox and don't allow it to save passwords or anything, but I find it strange that after I log in, if I just let the browser sit for a little while, it times me out.

I save the password as its my home computer I don't share with anyone, that may be the difference.

There's alot of forums that will do this, or atleast used to. When you sign in, click "remember me" and you shouldn't have an issue. If you don't want to stay logged in when yopu leave the site, just Log Out before you leave.

I selected the remember me box and so far seems to be ok. I never saw the checkbox before. Must need a stronger prescription on my glasses :D
