Logged out too soon? - Orchid Board

Anisa · #1 12-14-2010, 04:30 PM

Is there a way for the OrchidBoard not to log me out after few min. I would like to stay logged when in AFK but i get logged out after a 10 min or so.
I just got logged out in the middle of writing a message to a forum member and lost everything I wrote.

So I think it is a time to ask for a help on this issue.

Thank you!

I have this same problem from time to time. I contacted the board and was told that the problem was on my end since they hadn't gotten tons of complaints. The only way I can help avoid it is to delete my history and cookies every night and then shut the computer down for the night. Works most of the time, but I still have it happen from time to time.

Hmm.... I usually have couple of different forums simultaneously open at the same time and dont get logged out unless I close the browser window.

I also usually have several different forums open at the same time, and I've never been logged out of any of them.

How about this forum?

I usually have at least two forums up at a time, sometimes more, and this is the only one that logs me out.

Do you guys check the "Remember Me" button right below the password field when you log in? I never get logged out even if I close my browser or turn off my PC unless I specifically click the log out button.

Yes i have but it still logs out

Is this something that is connected with browser cookies? I am not internet some sort of internet specialist but i am sure there is something going on.

Same here, I always check the remember me button and it still does it.

I only get automatically logged off if I don't do anything for 10-15 minutes. Don't know of this is normal either....Just thought I'd share. Thanks!
