OT: Anybody else notice forum logins timeout quickly?
How long is the timeout before a member is logged out due to inactivity? I imagine it's been this way for years, but it seems I can't even finish a post before I'm logged out and have to log in again. At least the content of my post is preserved. Is it just me?

I don't think there is any setting in vBulletin which logs out a user after a certain about of time...but I can check. Did you turn on the "Remember me?" when you log in?

I have 'remember me' checked and have to log in almost every time I go away from the page, and it's been that way for a long time. Running Firefox on a Mac OS.

I've had this problem too for years but I don't post much. I don't use the remember me option nor is my browser up to date so maybe that may have something to do with it?

I did a quick search on the Internet, and I found reports of similar problems on other vBulletin forums. There were a number of recommendations to delete all your cookies to resolve this issue. So if you can, give this a try and let me know if this helps or not.

I regularly delete my cookies, cache and history from the terminal (because it creeps me out to see Competitive Cyclist ads coming up on CNN), so I don't think deleting my cookies will affect anything. I never turn on "Remember Me" though, which might just do the trick. I'll try it and report back. |

That said, this feature is fantastic. It has saved me many, many times. |

Can't remember the last time I logged in.

I don't have the "Remember Me" box checked, so get logged out fairly quick. It's about 15 minutes or so. Wish it was longer, but not really a problem.

I tend to never use "remember me"-style buttons because I don't want my browser to be an unfettered gateway to all my accounts. This is a *bike forum*, fer heaven's sake, so it should be fine, and emptying my cache immediately makes the browser forget me anyway. Last edited by dgauthier; 05-27-2017 at 05:45 AM. |

I had no idea what "Remember Me" did before this thread, but it works great. |

I used to know what "Remember Me" did, but I forgot.
