I'm just guessing, but I think this is part of their attempt to have enhanced security. So, any time a poster is inactive for a period of time they have to sign in again. I set my devices to remember the login info for this site, so it's only a couple of clicks and I'm back in... doesn't bother me, but I really do understand the frustration.

yeah, but it is overkill. Let the user decide how long to stay logged in for - from 30 minutes to 24 hours. This is just the boards here. You only need that draconian measure of 30 minutes if we all were sharing a computer, which we aren't.

I stay logged on to so many other sites without being timed out. The Q just needs to up it or offer it as an option like other places do.

This would be the key phrase. And they need to adjust/up what they consider a period of time!

I can stay logged in on my tablet but not my laptop. Go figure.

i would say that this is the major problem i have right now with the new boards, followed by not having an easy convenient way to look at posting history (instead of having to do a bunch of clicking to get there.) other than that, i am getting used to the new boards!

I am NOT loving the changes they made!! For the past two days I've started a new thread under handbags and I still don't see either of them!!!

It really is annoying. I have to keep signing in on both my laptop and my ipad, but I think it's worse on my ipad.

And this not being able to quote on the ipad thing is making me kind of crazy.

I just went out for about an hour, and when I came back I was signed in. I just posted about this. I thought they must have fixed it. Was it just a fluke that I wasn't signed out while I was gone??

Me too! I did a little list of stuff and came back to find myself still signed-in. Maybe my GRRRRRR RANT helped, LOL!
