The automatic Log Off thing this site uses is WAAAAY too short. I cannot tell you how many times I am reading a technical post or a how to on here and when I finally get to the point where I can go to the next page, I'm logged out of everything. This wouldnt be a huge issue except for the fact that once I'm logged out, and I log back in again, I wont be able to see what threads have been updated from my last visit, because it thinks my last visit was only 5 minutes ago.

Can we lengthen the time or something? What's it currently set to?

 

Never had this problem before? Browser/antivirus issue possibly?

 

^^ it might just be the way I browse. I open like 6 threads in 6 different tabs, then read them all...so i have at least 5 mins to be listed as inactive, maybe 10. Most people wont really notice im sure, since most people keep it to one window at once, so that one window is seeing a lot of activity. It's a new thing, and its only on this site, so I think its CSS. CSS didnt used to do it either..

 

Sorry, I don't seem to have that problem and I do the same thing you do. Only it's a couple open threads here, a few on another car forum, some on facebook etc... Actually I don't remember the last time I actually "logged in". It just automatically does that for me.

 

I agree with you, happens to me a lot as well.
