Topic: [Implemented] Increase login-timeout period

AFAIK its currently 20 minutes. And I'm guessing this was put in place decades ago to reduce strain on the server. This is no longer a need so can we please increase it to 1-2 hours or something. Its annoying to have to login again all the time.

Re: [Implemented] Increase login-timeout period

the 20 min. is to protect peoples accounts

Re: [Implemented] Increase login-timeout period

I like this idea.  I see no need for it to be 20 mins either.  Will check with Stefan.  It "is" annoying to login each time.

E-mails and other login sites don't have it this short.  Only banks and probably online flight bookings and whatnot.  We don't need that level, imo.

The only thing is, that 'Online' Tag in Fam page, I believe only refreshes on login, so people would have to just be wary of that.  You'd have more people who are online but not shown as 'Online!'.  (Then again, supposedly that shows it for 2hrs...)
