new forum, frequent logouts?

[dlhotka]

Anyone else having issues with the new forums logging you out after only a few hours?

Yes, this is a known issue.

Be careful to check before you write a reply as you might loose the reply on clicking on the post button (this is a test as I am actually not logged in while writing this, so "select all" -> copy -> post)

edit: this time it remembered my text, so it looks like that there is some improvement already.

We set the logout from 30 minutes that was the platform default to max length of 2 hours, we will request a longer time from Khoros.

An optional "remember me" box would make a lot of sense for regular users on their regular devices - even 2 hours isn't going to make much of a difference.

Thankfully my password manager app/plugin will do the lifting for me!

On a call just now Khoros agree to set the time-out to something longer.  They were going to try to go do it right now,  for the moment, I requested 8 hours.  I think that seems like a reasonable time,  they tend to like to log people out in order to keep webserver open sessions to a reasonable number.

I'm curious what other sites do,  I remember in 2006,  I think it was days.  But not sure.

I think there is a remember me box would be also good.  Will look into that.

I can stay "logged in" to most websites for as long as my browser cookie for that site is happy - weeks if not months.

Exactly - they can close the session,  but keep the authentication token.  Thanks for pushing on this - as wila mentioned, it's really annoying that you can start to reply when not logged in, and then lose the text you've written when it prompts you to authenticate.
