Default Signed out after idle for like 5 minutes

if I walk away from my computer for a few minutes, or browse another page and leave a tab open for tech, I am signed out. Is there anyway to leave it so that I am only logged out after I click log out?

I believe the default time out is 15 minutes of inactivity. With the older version we didn't have a default log out for quite awhile.
Most vbulletin boards are like this.

That's very odd... mine never signs out... I left tech up last night for about 2 hours at home and I was still logged in. Strange things

Probably some internet "security" crapware on your computer (Norton, etc.) That's definitely not "normal" behavior. Heck, I stay signed in until I explicitly sign out, even across days of inactivity.

You call it crapware, but it is effective and some people aren't smart enough to surf without it safely.
