Automatic logging out of users problem. Explanation?

[Bored_Man]

As I've found out, I'm not the only one with this problem. BP seems to have a tendancy to automatically log me out when only about 5 or minutes have passed without me posting. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does it constantly, it gets to be very annoying.

Is it possible to fix this?

I'm having the same problem. I don't think it's anything that's fixable by us as I'm sure no one has altered it to be that way. I think we may be able to ask SMF for an explanation about the problem though.

All right, thank you.

Here's a tip I found on the help site about a similar issue:

Try checking your settings against these.

Make sure 'Use a persistent connection' is turned  off

Default login cookies length (in minutes) =  60

Enable local storage of cookies(SSI won't work well with this on.) turned off

Use subdomain independent cookies(turn off local cookies first!)   on

Enable compressed output  on

Use database driven sessions  on

Allow browsers to go back to cached pages on

Seconds before an unused session timeout  2880




I'll check to see if these are what we're using, but I think we may need an admin to view them.

Have you guys gone to that "Forum Maintenance" Thing in administrator? there's a "Find and fix errors" button thing...maybe if you use that....

So it's not just me.... I've not been able to post long post because of this.

Well I changed the settings.... only time will tell but I'm going to look into this further....

Same. It's a force of habit now because youtube always used to mess up after I typed up long comments.

I too do this.

Just have a topic where everyone posts when this happens to them while you tweak the site settings.

I actually do this about once a month at least.
Trust me, that's not the issue.

Hmmm. do any of the Admins have a way to contact the SMF Mods?

I think  they have a site, but im not sure.

Dunno if this would be any help, but just putting this out there, as we would be eligible:

...crap...now if I only had posts there, I would feel like I would be able to do that...<_<

[sasori1122]

it would seem I'd be the only one eligible to do it...as it's only for the owner...
