timed out again!

[chojo]

Is there a time limit on inactivity? whenever i stop doing anything on the forum for more than about three minutes i get logged out which is a nuisance if i'm just making coffee!

[dannzeman]

There's a 15 minute timeout setting. I couldn't tell you why it's happening after only 3 minutes.

Is this why I have to login every time I come to the site even though I check the "remember me" box?

[dannzeman]

Yes. I think the remember me box is just for that session.

Strange I ho on and offline over the course of days and never have to log back in.

What's your secret?

I'm using Chrome and have saved the login info so I don't have to remember/type it each time but it's still a PITA.

On another note (aka bitch) when I do login it goes to a vBulletin Message page saying "Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.fpgeeks.com/forum/)".

Happens to me allatime, thought it was my Kindle's fault...

[caribbean_skye]

i occasionally have this issue. These last two weeks ive remained logged in via safari browser on ipad with no issues.

It used to happen to me a lot before but it has been a long time. I don't remember the last time it happened.

I use safari at home and Firefox at work. As to the second problem no clue.

[chojo]

Glad it's not just me then. I use safari most of the time but have tried firefox and have the same problem, Haven't tried chrome yet might give that a whirl.

[reprieve]

Weird. I'm using Safari and I never have to log in (unless I accidentally delete the fpgeeks cookie).

[ladynib302]

Happens to me daily using Safari on an IMAC at least a couple of times each day; just happened today, again, using Firefox on same computer; Seems to also happen when I try to go to this site from a bookmark or out of history. However, part of the time, if I just scroll up to the top of the page away from the message, and click the word "forum", it will take me to the forum page where I then just log-in all over again for convenience in being able to do replies, etc.. Sorry others are having this issue, too; however, at least I now know it's not just me.

[dannzeman]

I've tried and failed to recreate the problem. I'm using Safari and Chrome on my iMac and Macbook Air and as long as I check "Keep me logged in" I don't automatically get logged out. I even tried logging in with a test account that just has normal user status and it still doesn't log me out. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Wile E Coyote]

To make it even more confusing: if I come to the site using fpgeeks.com/forum, my username and password is saved. If I use www.fpgeeks.com/forum, I have to enter my username and password and then I get the error message.

[tandaina]

That's odd. I never have to log in. I checked "remember me" and that should create a cookie that keeps you logged in, past 15 minutes. I haven't had to log in in days.

Yes but you were a software ninja once and you have the touch!

Well i wish you could turn off the time out feature I even have to log back in now when i've replied to a post it seems that i take too long to type my replies lol. I'm at the stage now where unless i really want to post something i don't bother logging in to read posts.

The reason the time out feature can't be turned off is because once someone logged in it would show them as logged in forever, even after they close their browser, unless they sign out.

Are you checking the box to stay logged in when you sign in?

[VertOlive]

It doesn't happen to me on my laptop--I'm using Chrome there.

But the Kindle has me logging in for every post....I think the browser is "Silk".
