These forums log me out after like 1 or 2 hours and its annoying because I have it set to remember me, so it should remember more than just my email address and keep me logged in for a longer time

Yes it does, and it sometimes does it in the middle of a post, and if you don't have recovery software (like the Lazarus add-on for Firefox), your post will be lost.

They know it, and they won't fix it!

Someone said in one of the threads I belive if was Jockem, that the combination Adobe's upgrade cycle, and Jive's it will be about 9 months before the next upgrade. The next upgrade might fix this issue, then it might not. The only sure cure is split the login server for the Forums away from the Adobe Store. Nether should be tied to the other what so ever, for any reason.

That very comprehensive reply is no doubt completely accurate but it overlooks one important fact.
These forums are for users – not geeks and nerds!

The geeks and nerds don't care about the problem, they have long solved

the problem by tuning their browser. Users don't care about the problem,

for them the forums are just a tool to get answers and their usage of

the forums does not follow a pattern where this is a problem.

There is a very specific and small group of people who follow a regular

pattern where they use the forum everyday at the same time of the day

who will be hit by the cookie expiring while they are writing a reply. I

think Adobe is paying way too much attention to the noise that is

generated by that group. Adobe should just kill cookies way more

aggressively to enforce its defined login policy and focus on solving

the other problems these forums have.

That's not me. I am just annoyed that at the start of every day I have to log in. OK, it's a couple of clicks, but I resent it because it needn't be necessary. And of course the lumbering sluggish responses don't help either.

You should work for the UK government – they like answers that evade the issue!
