Why do I get logged off?

[kalojado]

I didn't see a sub forum for site questions, so I thought I could post this here to see if any of you have an answer for me... Is there any way to keep the site from logging you out every so often (and not like days on end, I can be gone for 20 minutes and when I come back I am logged out). I often keep the page open while visiting other sites and when I come back to it, I am logged out. Is there a setting to change this?

I've never logged in in 3 months

I logged in the first time when I registered. Haven't had to do it since. If there is a setting it is already set for me. Sorry I can't help but I love your avatar.

I don't know I've never been asked to login. I could shut off my whole computer and come back to this site and I would still be logged in.

I'm guessing maybe it has to be your computer. Maybe you have some firewall settings or something. I'm not a computer whiz, but check out your computer.

Well, the weird thing is that it happens on both my computer. I have a windows laptop downstairs and a Mac upstairs and it does it on both machine. Wow, I can't believe nobody else has this problem. Been happening since day one for me. Thanks for the quick replies though, hopefully someone knows how to fix it....

I just logged out and it said all cookies cleared. It gave me an option to return to the last page I was veiwing, I clicked it and I was still logged out. I went to the top and typed in my user name and PW then clicked the remember me tab. Question: Did you click the remember me tab?

I've got the same problem, are you using firefox as well?
I've been thinking it might be a browser problem.

When Logging in, check the "remember me" box while doing so and you will not time out and stay logged in.

You know, I think Sun and Hangtime are correct. I don't think I have ever clicked "remember me" but I will try this and let you all know...

BTW, I do use Firefox on my Windows and Opera on my Mac...

 

[stevo_tdo]

I have firefox and I'm always logged it.

 

[Superstargoddess]

I'm using Firefox too and never get logged out. Maybe it's somewhere in your computer or browser security settings?

The system is set to log you off after a certain period of time of inactivity unless you check the "remember me" box when logging in.

clicking that sets a cookie that does the login for you. its not as if you dont get logged out simplely does not ask you for your username and password.
