Forum's Auto Log off

bazza_1964 · 02-15-2010, 07:39 PM

This is getting annoying....

I just spent several MINUTES ( not even 20 ), attempting to post a response in a forum, and thanks to SOME setting here, the forums auto log off tendencies have erased everything I wrote( YOU CANNOT POST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LOGGED IN)'

Am I missing something? Is this a setting I'm supposed to change on my end? Or is it something that just Twitters?

bazza, annoyed.

It happens to me as well

I asked Gaz about it and he didnt set anything up. I figured it was firefox or some addon doing it.

I always copy paste my 'long text' into a word document or note pad document. That way, if it all crashes you dont have to rewrite it.

Yeah, duly noted...I am on Firefox, and I usually do copy and paste long ones, lol. Was just "riffing away" for a few minutes, didn't plan on it becoming an essay. Oh well!

thanks guys,

bazza

yeah, it's irritating.

But it's also quite helpfull

just copy-and-paste, and you'll have good security. besides of which, if you enter your username/password correctly when ask, your message will still get posted

Default PHP session timeout is 24mins, that can come up pretty fast.
vBulletin <3.5 default is 15mins according to wikipedia.

For me its been a recent change.

I was having a problem with firefox logging me out, but i made some changes and now it's fine.

I think I changed my privacy settings by customizing what firefox clears on shutdown. I set it to just clear the cache. I know I changed something else to do with cookies as well, can't remember what though.

Never have any problems... I never have to login to the site

. Perhaps it's the FF session manager keeping things alive, I don't know. Even if I've been away for three weeks, I'm still logged in (I do tick that "remember me" thingy, so maybe that's it...).
