I think the more this has gone on, and given time to settle, I feel more like the following clip:

...and so do a lot of other people on the forums!

How sad is it when that lightsaber battle was better than the movies, haha.

Eeeeeeeeeh! Excited now!

Jadzia Dax is accused of a murder committed by her symbiont in another lifetime.

Enjoy!

dunno ive been here all evening (around 6 hours) and still not timed out.

I use Chrome and it always feels like I get logged out very quickly but I'm not confident enough to say that it's too quick.

The newest video
We have come HOME!:evil:

Sounds like a browser issue then. I know firefox is more finicky about cookies so could be that?

Hey Brenden,

Thanks for the great feedback :cheer:

The vortex effect I used is called "Starburst Effect 01"... however, because it's one of the coolest effects available in the Foundry, it is becoming rather over-used. The floating spirit in the middle is just an alien NPC contact, costumed with 'Infected' base complexion and 'Reflective' eyes, and with its idle animation set to 'Levitate'.

I've noticed the same thing when I'm on my MacBook... logged out in less time than it take my screen saver to come on.

But if is load up boot-camp (which I do often since that's where STO is hiding) I rarely get logged out of the site at all. Never understood it.

It happens with me as well. I use Firefox and cleared out my cache recently. :(

Thanks Nicholas, I'll try those things. Though I'm totally with you on the anti-IE sentiments... we're a 100% Firefox family!

The shortest that you should be logged out after is 15 minutes. That's how long it takes for a user session to expire, and that's after 15 minutes of inactivity.

If you're getting logged sooner than that, I'd try clearing your browser cache and making sure you're browser is up to date. Also, if you're using IE, I'd suggest using anything else. Seriously, like a rock would be better at browsing the internet.

When you log in to the site, try saving your account details into your browser and checking 'Remember Me.'

im with Lesley

I leave this page open all day and its never timed out...

Definitely not, Lesley. It's the same on my work machine, and on my partner's machine. So I assume it's to do with the site...

Is it possible it is not a website problem but something to do with your router or browser at home?

I know when ever I have made a post, no matter how long I have never been timed out at all.

This may have been answered before, and apologies if it has.

I'm wondering why the website has such an incredibly short time-out feature? It almost seems as though I'm logged out after something as short as 5 minutes of inactivity.

Often, in the time it takes me to write an email or a response to a forum thread, my log-in has timed out and I can't send the email or post the response without logging back in.

The time-out period really seems to be too short, as I'm often caught out by it.

I've noticed a few posts where people refer to CoH. What does this stand for? I'm not familiar with this acronym.
