Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh! Timeout

Mods, any chance of extending the life of a login?

Quite often I'm logged out before I've finished typing a message.

And no, it's not because I'm slow

Thanks.

 

i think you should use the "Remember me" button when u are loggin in

 

Ok, perhaps I should try that - thanks.

 

Its 15 minutes by default.

So, you take 15+ minutes to write a message?
Are you writing a post/thread or a story?

 

If that did not fix your problem, then log out completely, manually delete your cookies for here, and try logging back in (remember to click that remember box).

I've noticed that 8 times out of ten log in issues of all kinds are the results of rotten cookies. The other two times are because people forget their passwords, and library computers suck.

 

I've logged in now and ticked the 'remember me' box.

And.... it works.

It was previously logging me out after just a minute or so. (No inworx, I wasn't taking 15 minutes to write a message ;-)

Thanks for tip.

remember also to keep your laptop airtight, or else the air will make the cookies rot.

 

anything to say about PCs?

and PDAs

 

I had the remember me checkbox selected the second time I logged in, which was about 4 months back and I never had to login again. I think I need to logout and login again, what if the cookies got rotten as devin said

 

The cookies are rotten, they arent gonna be fine after 4 months

Bebo has exactly the same feature. It is brilliant when i want to access it quickly to check one minor thing.
