I keep being logged out of MSE if I stop using it for a couple of minutes. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Thanks.
It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb calories if you take it from another person's plate.

Chocolate is the answer and I don't give a damn what

    When you log in, make sure that you tick the "Keep me logged in" or "Remember me" box before click the "Log in" button, and that should stop it from happening.

    If that doesn't fix it, sounds like you've got a problem with cookies. Either you've disabled them, or the one for MSE is corrupted. Which browser do you use?

    I use either IE7 or Opera.

    As iviv says, if there's a cookie problem, it might be best to clear them all out, then return to MSE and tick the "remember me"/"keep me logged in" box.

    See here for guides on how to delete the cookies.

    Beware that this will delete all your cookies, so you won't automatically sign into other websites straight away, you'll have to login manually first. But then it should go back to normal after that.
