Hi there, i have started a very successful forum for pain patients (2000 posts/month). They forget to logout. Is there a logout automatically?

If they don't check the auto login feature when logging into the forum they will automactically be logged out when they shut their browser or 20 minutes after they leave your site, whichever comes sooner.

Thanks a lot. I could not find that information anywhere in help or in manuals. Seems adequate, it least for my patients.

If the auto login feature is checked then a cookie will be stored on the users machine auto logging them into the forum when they return on that computer.

If the user logs in on another computer in the meantime, they will have to re-logg back in when returning on the original machine.

The auto-login seems to be "forgetting" me daily. Ideas?

If you are using IE then try cleaning out your cookie cach and Internet files.

Logging in with different machines will mean that when change between machines you will need to log back in. This has been added from version 7.8+ for extra security.
