i am always having to log back in

[ALL]

I don't know why but i am always getting logged out about every 10 mins. when i never needed to log in b4 unless i deleted all my cookies.

is the cookie set to a timed relesal? because of the forum upgrade?

PS: yes i did have remember me checked, and i have/had my prefrences set to remember me!

and one more thing: I had to log in twice when i mad this thred!

Did this start with the change to VBulletin 3? As far as I know this is not a new "feature" and so far nobody else has reported the same behaviour. I looked at your account and everything seems OK. Could this be a problem with your server or firewall?

I havent changed any of my settings in a while. yes this did start happening when the forum upgraded.

I am going to try setting my cookie to read-only and see if that workds

PS: I had soem trubble a while back that i couldn't log out these two may be related

[ALL]

ok, setting the cookie to read-only didn't work, it just disgarded the old cookie and made a new one

Have you tried loggin out and log back in? Also this might be a long short but is your computer's time & date set correctly?

[brad jones]

I suggest trying to clear your cookies. I know the forum will indicate you are logged out after a given non-active period; however, if you have "remember me" checked then when you come back or do something, you should automagically be logged back in.

Try clearing the cookie so a new one is created.

Brad!

well, i did a time update, and sofar i havent had to log back in!
so, electroman i guess you were rite.

i must have set my time back trying to save a trial software!

It happens to me now with the new version if I have my anonyminity software up and running. Otherwise its keeping me logged in. I rather dislike turning off my GhostSurf everytime I come to the forum tho.

Is there anyway we can change the non-active period? I asked this question a long time ago and the response i received was that it didn't have anything to do with vbforums.

[gjon]

Whats the timer set at now?

[Dillinger4]

Im not quite sure but in my opinion it's way too short.

[MartinLiss]

Whats the timer set at now?

I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, there isn't one.

[Electroman]

Should be at 15minutes, it was before the upgrade anyway, not too sure yet if its the same but it seems to be around the same area. Its logged me out once so far when I didn't think 15minutes was up so it could be between 10 & 15 minutes with the upgrade.

BTW Marty I don't believe it will be a setting but rather built into the software wheer it sets the cookies. Don't know that for sure there could be an option but I suspect there isn't .


EDIT: Yea its exactly 15minutes, I just saw Electrobob log out eventually after being inactive for 15minutes.
