Timeout question--Lissa?

[Junglist]

Hey is there any way to make it so that I don't timeout when I log in? I looked and didn't find one.... it's kind of annoying cause I like to just stay logged in while I do things and then come back and refresh my pages.

I don't think there's a way for this. The best compromise I found is to go to the "Who's online" page while you're away. For some reason, the forum doesn't log you out automatically when you're on the "who's online". Sometimes it does log you out, but that's very rare.

my screen has, just near the login boxes, a little box says "remember me"

And it never logs you out?

Hmmmm...maybe that will solve Jung's problem. I'm not sure I understand what the real issue is to be honest.

I think what Jung is talking about is when you come to the forum and don't refresh your page in 15 minutes, it times out and you're no longer online here at the forum. As far as I know, the only disadvantage is that the forums are all marked as being read whn you finally refresh your page but maybe he's saying that he has to log back in every time? I'm not sure. If that's the case, I bet marking the "Remember me" button will help for sure. Good call!

Jelena has a great idea too. When you go to Who's Online, it automatically refreshes the page every 30 seconds or so. That might help too.

If you click on "Log Out", you'll see the boxes for your screen name and password. Next to it there is a "Remember me" button. That way you don't have to sign back in every time you come to the forum. You're just automatically at your home page. It will still time out if you don't refresh your page after 15 minutes and it will still log you out 15 minutes after you leave. That's the way I understand it anyway.

Actually, it still lets you log in. I may have tested this at work more than once.
