Some of you have had the problem when typing out a very long post then you go to submit it and you find that your session has timed out and you lose it all :wacko:
This is because, unless you click on the "remember me" box when you login, your login session automatically expires after 30 minutes if you are seen as inactive (e.g. when typing a long post).
This is a feature of Vbulletin and was designed to ensure that banned members could only stay on the site for 30 minutes maximum (even if they clicked on the remember me box).
We now have another way or removing banned members instantly so I have increased the timeout to 60 minutes so that should be ok for most people writing a long post.
Hope that helps people anyway.
