    Whats the user timeout?

    Hey Clinton - does it log me out after 1 hour or less? I am finding myself re-logging in every time I come back to EP!

    Any chance this could be a few hours inactivity?

    I go 12-15 hours between visits at times and am not logged out.

    This came up some months ago and I raised it to 7200 seconds (2 hours) but, like tke71709, I find that I can go several hours or a day without being logged off.

    Unfortunately the cookie setting that controls logout also determines the who's online page. Anybody who was active in the last two hours shows up as "currently online". If I raise this cookie to 50,000 or 100,000 it would mess up the who's online stats and show as online even someone who may have signed off several days ago.

    If any vbulletin experts know a way of increasing user timeout settings without messing up the who's online, please tell.

    Apart from the updates a few weeks ago, I've never had to log back in. Good job too because I don't think I remember the password!
