Why does the forum log me out?

[NerevarParticipant 8040]

Something that annoys me. I never log out on my own, but each 4-8 hours I get booted on a whim. Really frustrating when you have multiple tabs open, want to reply to something and “uhoh”, I’m suddenly not logged in anymore.

I don’t run any odd programs, my browser is the latest Firefox and my internet connection is stable.

It was some sort of precaution measure on this website, Iv read some time ago. Forgot specifics, forgot if its even correct.

It should be 48 hours. (not 4-8) We have the session length set to 48 hours.
This means a new login should be required once every two days.

To make sure you don’t get arbitrarily logged out… log out… then log back in again.
You SHOULD fine for another 48 hours.

BUT I don’t know for certain if it’s malfunctioning. So I will need to look into it and verify.
This is all I KNOW at the moment.

Im very sorry if it seems you are getting booted. We’re not doing it to you! Promise.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
