    Hello DP staff.

    I've noticed over the past few days that if I take more than 5 minutes to work on a post/reply, I am always required to log back in when I click submit. This also happens, if I spend that much time on the same page reading.

    Is the timeout really set that short, or is there a setting on my browser I need to tweak?

    I can stay logged in all day with no probs running IE (assuming IE will stay up and running), have trouble with FireFox I am sure there are some setting I should tweak.

    I have logged in to DP only once or twice so far. Since I'm accessing DP from home, I have the remember me feature turned on.

    The timeframe is 15 minutes, not 5 minutes if you choose to not have the forum remember you.
