I know, we've done this before, but *why* do we have a login time out on this site?
Surely its time to lose it?

The one I hate is the crude dumping of a post if the one it's answering has already been replied to, or if your deathless prose and chains of subordinate clauses have taken too long to cobble together. When what might well be three days' work is eliminated instantly by that pink ribbon, I want to garotte someone with it.

I've learned from bitter experience to copy every post before sending it. Then if it decides I need to re-Login-in it's easy just to paste it back into a new reply.

Login Time-out on this website is ok, but I always copy any long paragraphs. When I was taxing the car last week it timed-out three times. Sure I took a couple of a quick calls that caused it to time-out but it also happened when I took too long to lean over to the shelf, take the credit card out of my wallet and key in the numbers.

Eh?

'deathless prose and chains of subordinate clauses'
Aha, so someone reads me after all!

I'm with No FM2R.
This is the only forum in the world (IME) to log me out automatically. And to do it after twenty minutes, it's as secure as my bank. Really, surely the timeout period can be extended. For some reason I have to type the password in each time; Chrome doesn't seem to remember it.

If it's like Firefox, it's not enough just to click on "Remember this password?".
There is a deeper setting somewhere in Tools that has to be checked to enable the password-remembering function.

I visit another motoring forum which only gives you ten minutes.
