Forum's Auto Log off - Page 2

I'm always logged in too. I've never had any problems with this.

CTRL + SHIFT + T brings back your previous page with all the text you had written in it (at least on Firefox). Although I'm not sure if it will help in this issue.

CTRL+SHIFT+T reopens a closed tab for me

(Tab Mix Plus is awesome!)

Clearing your cookies doesn't solve the problem. Also has nothing to do with firefox.

This is a setting in the PHP configuration file (php.ini) called session.cookie_lifetime and session.gc_maxlifetime. By default, it's set to 20 minutes.

By default, session.cookie_lifetime should be set to 0. This means that your session cookie will expire only when you close your web browser (this doesn't apply if you check "Remember Me" when you login). I confirmed this by looking at my cookie expiry dates.

session.gc_maxlifetime is what's causing the problem here. "gc" stands for garbage collection, and what it's basically doing is deleting all inactive sessions every X amount of seconds. Increasing this number will ensure that the lifetime of a session lasts longer than 20 minutes.

The reason some of you are unaffected by this is you check the "Remember Me" option when you login.

The default is still 24 Min and vBulleting uses cookies only for it's own login handler if im not mistaken.

I'm on FF and I have no problems. Try cleaning your cookies out and starting from scratch

I'm on FF and have been getting logged out ever since I joined the forums, but don't care; if you post something and it logs you out when you click 'post', just login again and continue.
