hiya, wonder if anyone can help please 
since upgrading to IE9 when logging in here after a while it keeps logging me out, i've been ticking the 'remember me' box but it still keeps doing it,
i then started logging me in typing user/n etc manually & ticking the 'remember me' but it still keeps logging me out & am having to keep logging back in again every hour or so,
i never had this problem with IE8 so am wondering if anyone knows why or can help please,
TIA x

i'm wondering if there's a time setting somewhere in our user cp's or somewhere, seems strange why it would keep timing us out :undecided
i've checked all settings etc but am still none the wiserplease be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly.0 -
Hi fire**fly,
You will find no "auto logout time" setting in your UserCP. This is a forum-wide setting. As a rule of thumb try to move around the forums, from page to page, at least once every 15 minutes. Or you may be logged out.
There are actually a number of reasons why you might become logged out. In the vast majority of cases it's done as a precautionary measure. It's actually for your protection. These precautions prevent other users stealing your online identity. Unfortunately this means they are necessary and we cannot relax these rules.
I appreciate being logged out can be irritating but I hope than under the circumstances you can accept these precautions as a necessary evil.
Thank you.
