Site keeps logging me out
Hey the site keeps logging me out without me clicking the Log Out button for some reason. Is my account restricted or is this just a glitch?

Your account hasn't been changed, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

If you don't click the "keep me signed in" box, the session times out. Happens to me all the time.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I haven't had problems, except when the computer does a Windows update it will sometimes bump me out.
At home with a good book and the cat...

It happens to me all the time. I've more or less learned now to type posts in Word and then paste them in, rather than typing directly on the site (though sometimes I forget and get a painful reminder!).

Actually good point, I went back to check, and I think it's just the "Remember Me" option I'm thinking of. But my browser is set not to delete cookies, so that must be what's keeping me logged in, as opposed to "Remember Me".

I'm not very technologically inclined, but I have a feeling the time you can stay logged in is set from the forum admin side. I post on other sites which tell you how much time you are allowed before you get the boot. Generally it's about 15-30 minutes, though with some sites you can stay logged in forever if you wish!
