Forum session login/timeouts

[john_cornicello__retired_]

We've had some changes made for session timeouts. Are people still having to constantly log-in throughout the day? Today I've managed to stay logged in without any forum activity for up to 3 hours or slightly longer. Has it improved for others? The login session should now be about 4 hours. It was supposed to be two hours previously, but for some accounts it might have been shorter.

Look at the number of views on this thread! Must be a very common problem.

Most times I come here and I'm already logged in.  But then, after a few minutes, I'm logged out for no apparent reason.

still logged in from yesterday... hmm... waiting for the ax to fall.

[Guest]

lol! (well, no, not really)...

Well, like I said before: THERE YOU GO...

It's not just us - from the DW forum:

I will say that the waiting times have sucked all the spontaneity of this forum. I always have to log in now and clicking on "new" just to click on a solitary "discussion" link and then to pick out a discussion from a list is extremely annoying... Eye candy over substance...

Things seem to be getting worse. I am now constantly logged out after some 12 hours, much less than the promised 24. And I have the impression that posting a message, even a private one, shortens this time and can even trigger the log out.

Ah, maybe that is it: time is measured by activity, so the more we post, the sooner we are out. Time to lean back, relax, and stay in.
