Is there a way to change how long you are logged in for each session? Does the system have a set time limit, whether you are active or not, or does it log you out after X minutes of inactivity?

When you log in, there is a box to click and you won't be logged out. Not good for a public computer, but great for home.

I don't trust that feature even on home computers. Thanks though. Maybe Lex or Greebo knows the answer.

Why?

I can look. Not sure it's customizable in vBulletin.

It would seem to me that if it is a security risk on public computers, it is a security risk on home computers. I don't mind setting a longin length for a set time (60 minutes, whatever); logged in forever is where I draw the line. (*shrugs*)

Why is it a risk on home computers? No one that I don't trust gets in my house - and my computer has a password on it so even if someone got in, they would need to crack the computer password.

I just logged out then back in to find that box to check so that I can stay logged in. Never saw it. Please help - I don't want to keep logging in over and over.

The box says "Remember Me" ... which is commonly used elsewhere on the Internet to mean "automatically fill in my username and password here whenever I land on this page". In vBulletin, however, it means "keep me logged in".

Do you see that box, Teaux?
