Logged-in time

One issue with the new forum I find annoying is the short time one can stay logged in. Often, while I'm writing a post, I find myself thrown out by the time I'm done, so I have to save the post, log in, navigate to the forum and thread in question, post again... It wastes time and gets tiresome after a while.

On jolt, we stayed in until explicitly logged out. Is there some way the logged-in time can be increased here? Maybe not to permanent, but at least to a good while.

Weird, i can be logged in for hours-on-end without getting auto logged off.

You indeed don't get thrown out as long as you stay browsing the forum, clicking on other threads once in a while. But if you leave or keep writing a post for more than a couple hours, the result is inevitably having to log in again.

I think the underlying issue is auto-login: on Jolt, your session would eventually expire, but you'd automatically get a new one without needing to re-login, and wouldn't even notice. I haven't set up autologin on this forum yet, so session timeouts require you to bounce back to the main game. I will fix that.

Awesome. I really don't like having to bounce back when the time runs out when I make a long post(When would sometimes have happened on Jolt for me during long periods of inactivity).

ALL HAIL [VIOLET]!!!
