    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.

    :o Oh dear, I really should have left this until after I'd had 2 large cuppas! I read it as I could find a button to adjust log-out time and have just spent ages searching in my CP :eek::rotfl:!

    :T Thanks for replying. Sorry I didn't get back, but went off to bed.

    Appreciate the security issues, but nothing I was doing was different than any other day, i.e. working though pages, opening threads I wanted to enter, then hitting "Back."

    Wonder how it'll be for me today....

    Facebook just did this about ten minutes ago- I was in the middle of reading something too!

    No obvious reason for it either, which is annoying.

    But MSE has stopped doing it-or so it seems *fingers crossed* :)

    Much better for me today, not happened at all. Facebook has done it once, but then I tend to blame my rubbish Broadband for that!
