This is really more of a bother, but why do you guys insist on logging us out every 10 minutes?

Now of course I don't really mind tabbing "A" <Down arrow> (Enter), but it's quite tedious when you have to do that up to 6 times a day. However, it's not only annoying but also completely random when it's about to happen. Idle? Active? Same ****. Eitherway I wouldn't enforce people to log out after being idle for 10-minutes or even 30! Keep in mind that this is a text-based site, we view guides which could take alot more than 10-minutes if we read through it while trying to think of an insightful comment -> especially on forums!

The main issue is that when we do make a comment and post it, there is a slight chance that I might get logged out. Which means the comment disapears, and never gets posted in the first place! Believe me, after writing a comment with over 300-characters that really pisses me off.

PS: That actually happened while I was attempting to make this thread, Ironically.
PPS: I usually fix the main issue by copying everything I post, however sometimes I forget to do it..

Alahric do you check the "remember me on this computer" box when you log in? We would never set a timeout so low. The session timeout without "remember me" is 60 minutes. With remember me enabled you should never get logged out. Do you have any addons or such that might be blocking cookies? This will break the remember me functionality, and regular sessions also require one cookie. Do you have any settings or addons that try to speed up your browsing by pre-fetching links on the current page? They might be pre-fetching the log out link.

Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head that could cause issues.
