Any way to make it so that if you are online and on the forum it doesn't cut off? I mean, many times I am in the middle of something it throws me off.
Rather than "stay connected for x hours", maybe "stay connected for x minutes after you stop looking" or something.
What do you think?

Just make it connected "forever". Works for me!

Hmmm. Seen server there too busy to let me log on...usually Thurs and Friday afternoons after 5PM Eastern USANIA so about 5-6AM for you. I've always assumed to stock market/bank/corporation traffic on the lines. I log in for 6 hours. don't know if I selected or if always there. Never been thrown out. Could this possibly be a local ISP connection issue?? IT heavies care to weigh in? Nolefan? Others? I like Georges' "forever" suggestion but isn't he "grandfathered" in so he has no worries?  |

seems to me that George is on "forever" anyway...have never actually heard of him working...so he must spend all of his time here.  |

The forever option works well - doesn't throw people off - unless it's your own server problem. Sometimes if there are identity problems - like only letting me into the public areas I have to go in, change it to 6 hours, then enter, and re-set to forever.
Try forever. Sort of prophetic really.

With Firefox, I can be on forever...even when I'm working 6 "tabs" away!

i just choose "stay logged on for one week" and it never fails. That way, I can jog my memory to try and remember the password and even change it once a month.

'Forever' seems to be the magic word. Set your login time to that and no more problems.
All I can offer is an apology...this has been a quirk of the Proboards system as long as we have been in existance. It even survived a major software overhaul by Proboards some time go...

No sweat. I'll try the one week option. I go completely offline more than once a week, and can relog in then. If that don't work, forever it is.

In Firefox I can log in forever and it remembers me three or four weeks later even after I have logged in using IE in between sessions on my own computer.
