I didn't find a thread or post on this, so please pardon any repetition.
The site keeps logging out if I navigate away from the page for more than a few minutes. Why is this? How long is the time-out feature and can I adjust it?

Hope this works. Thanks for the suggestion.

I clicked remember me and each time I come to this site, I am already logged in as a result. It never times out.

I will give this a whirl. I came here wondering why I keep getting logged out. Is it supposed to be some sort of security feature to auto-log users out after 15 mins or whatever the short interval of time is set to? One thing is for sure: it is annoying! I belong to a lot of online communities and this is the only time I can remember encountering this, ummm, well, feature.
And I do not want to gripe too much, but since I am here, what is with only performing one search per minute. Many of my searches, and other people's I would think also prove unfruitful, but then need to wait a minute before trying a different approach to the search? A little user unfriendly to say the least.
cheers,

Have you tried checking "Remember me" while logging in? As long as you're logging in next time using the same browser in the same computer and the browser has cookies enabled (this should be in the browser options/preference- 'enable cookies' or worded similarly) you should not be logged out.Originally Posted by naphelge
As for the search limits, I agree it is a bit tiring at times. It's probably one of the security features. But is there any way to make it more lenient for the active members only, that should keep the buggers out, no? Is this a vbulletin forum? I'm not sure if that can be done in forums?

the search just consumes a lot of server resources. Limiting it limits the load on the server so the forums run faster.
