Apart from pissing me/us off?
I'll be in the middle of writing a post, then go get a drink or answer the phone or go to the toilet or go to my garage or google something or go through my pc notes... go to finish my post and then it says I don't have permission to post it and to log in or make an account.
Like really?
I just click the keep me logged in check box on the login in screen.
I can shut my computer off and open the forum and I'm always logged in. Same with posting, I can leave for hours and still make my post later on.
I/we don't have that option when we log in normally at the top/right of the screen. Unless it's "Remember Me?".
Probably comes up after I/we get logged out.. then you can select it. Never noticed it.
I still don't see the point of getting logged out automatically after a period of time. Why would anyone think that's a good idea and bother making it that way?
Yeah, on this one I guess it is called "remember me". On others it sometime worded different.
I believe most of this stuff comes with the layout that is built by VBulletin and that is what this site runs. It possible that a site admin could change that settings if they wished too.
Why oh why would they word it "Remember Me?" instead of "Keep Me The Phuk Logged In Until I Choose To Log Out"?
Anyways, will give it a go and see if it keeps me logged in. Thanks.
I belive You talk about logout after session time has passed. Nothing to do with "Remember Me" feature.
Session time is for security and performance reasons.
All phpbb based boards does that from default. Can be changed by admin thoe.
best regards
Thanks and yes, I'm talking about the logout after session time has passed thing..Quote:

When you say "performance reasons", will my laptop run a bit slower if I stay logged in 24/7 or something?
performance at server side not end-user side, im IT geek and forgot that most of users not
