Getting logged out after a certain amount of idle time

Wondering if we can figure out why this is, and fix it.  As long as I have the website open in a tab, I shouldn't get logged out automatically, but it's happened to me twice, even while posting a reply.  I left the tab open while I did something with images, and when I came back and tried to post it, I was thrown into the main forum area and a box that said "you are not allowed to access this area" popped up, and I realized that I had been logged out.

Also, the ability to stay logged in would be good too.  A checkbox under the login section is the norm.  :)

Fixed!

Unable to add "stay logged in" as an option.

Accidentally stumbled onto a nice surprise here...

If you enter your password incorrectly, you are taken to another screen that has a 'remember me' checkbox.  I haven't tested it 100% yet, but initial tests indicate that it keeps the user logged in after closing and re-opening the browser and navigating back to the forum.

Will check again in a few hours to see if I'm still logged in.

Perhaps this option can be found and added onto the homepage?

That's standard weather or not the box is checked since I changed the time limit to unlimited. You can come back to the site a few minutes later and still be logged in.

I'm still logged in Taz.  Before, even with your time limit set to unlimited, I would still have to log back in every time I closed and re-opened the browser.  Now, since I went to that other screen and clicked that checkbox, I'm still logged in a day later.



Edit:  It has now been well over a week since I originally used this tactic to remain logged in, and it is still working just fine.  I'm going to write up a quick tutorial in the forum instructions section for anyone who is interested.
