Please increase the idle/session timeout

[Pilot Scott]

I routinely have Flitetest forums up and running on another tab or in the background and I mainly use the "New Posts" function. If I am away for more than a few minutes or if I research an answer and in mid answer for more than a few minutes, I have to log back in. One, it kills all of the "new posts", unless something came in between the time I logged in and clicked the link and two, it kills anything I have typed, submitted and then asked to sign on. If you could increase the time that would be awesome.

It's located :Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> Session Timeout

The timer is in seconds.

Thanks, I upped it to 3 hours.

If it needs to be longer, let me know.

@flyingmonkey 3 hours should be plenty... thx for changing that!

@pilot scott funny sidenote, i was just about to complain about the session timeouts this morning, because i use the forums same way you do (new posts is kinda my index page). but then new posts brought up this thread

 

[Pilot Scott]

Perfect. Thanks a million.

Same here, I only use the Today's Posts button, but I never get logged out... I'm using Google Chrome...

I never get/got logged out either. I use google chrome and safari.

I use firefox- never had to log back in but my "New Posts" would get reset periodically at random intervals.
Seems like it all works fine now.

Yeah, mine too. I guess they think you read all of them, or seen all of them--which is usually the case.
