Question to Mods about login timing out

[o.supreme]

Greetings,

I was just curious, when someone ebters their username & password into the forum is there an exact timing out period? I find it to be random as sometimes I am logged in for 30minuets +, and sometimes I can be asked to re-enter my passwrd after entering in a response that takes less than 5 minuets to type. I usually try to be smart about it and write my responses on a word doc first then copy/paste to the forum, but sometimes I'm in a rush and I dont. Needless to say it's frustrating when after typing so much a comment is lost because my login has timed-out. Its not a big deal but I was just curious to know if there was a known cause for this. With some forums I have less trouble, others are even worse. Any response is appreciated. Thank you.

The majority of the time I'm at work and just use IE. I never check the box that says "keep you signed in" for security reasons. Our IT people are supposed to keep track of cookies etc.. I'll check all this stuff at home however. I use Chrome on my laptop.

You have the same problem at home? MSIE is a shit browser.

1. Not so much &
2. Agreed

I wish I could. I work in an office and we can't download anything. Also most of the Big sites (anything with games, videos, social networking etc...) are all blocked. In fact I'd say 50-60% of the pictues people embed in their posts I can't see until I get home.

I use Firefox at home, and if I'm on long enough without activity, I time out. Also, if I close my browser and come back after a short while, I'm logged out again.

The little box to "stay signed in" doesn't work for me.

I havent had to log in since I bought my new laptop.

I checked "keep me signed in" and never had an issue.
