I've got a minor nuisance complaint. It is regarding the time out settings for the forum - I find them to be excessively short.
Allow me to be sure that we are clearly communicating. I am speaking of the automatic time-out that the webpages put into action when one is logged in. If the web page scripts detect no actions for a preset time, the scripts log one out.
It must be set to about 5 minutes, or something like. I will log in to answer a forum post, and before I finish writing the answer, I have been logged out by the automatic page time-out. This would just be a nuisance if this were the only consequence - but I have lost a few posts because the web page scripts did not properly save what I had written when I had to log in again!
I can see no reason for the CN Forums to be a high security site - my banks take more time to time me out than the CN Forums do. So I request that the time-out length be reset to something reasonable and more in accord with the usage of the site. I would suggest 20 to 30 minutes.
