The session timeout is set to 20 minutes, if you find your users are getting logged out sooner or sessions dropped then you should look into issues with the server you are using.

for classic ASP you can override the IIS setting (more precisely the setting for your website) by adding Session.Timeout = x to a page where x is a value in minutes.
 
choose the number of minutes carefully since all used session variables will be affected and the application will finally consume more memory on the server.

Although true of standard classic ASP applications, Web Wiz Forums uses it's own sessions which are stored at application variable level or in the database (depending on your settings) and are released after 20 minutes of inactivity. If you increase the Session.Timeout it would not affect sessions created by web wiz forums.

You will be able to change this in the next 9.60 release by editing the file functions/functions_session_data.asp and change the following value:-

intSessionTimeout = 20
