Yup, now I'm staying logged in so it seems "someone" has fixed the problem but hasn't said anything about it to me or posted anything here about it - must have a "Gremlin" or some such on this forum - seems a silly way to run a site forum!

seems that you could absorb the help the forum has offered and accept that your knowledge needs upgrading, rather than blame the wrong entity.
do a little troubleshooting. If only you are having the difficulty, then the direction to look for a fix is much easier.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
and it's occurring too quickly for your liking.....................
If I don't engage in any activity while here at LH, the program will "log me out" automatically too (and relatively quickly compared to some other sites)
It is a privacy/session/setting/function on your machine, NOT the fault of anything here at the site (your software is subject to "updates" anytime you are "on-line" so that is one reason things don't always stay the way you are accustomed to, or like/want them to be) It is the reason that some operating behaviors change on you, even when you didn't "do" anything..............welcome to the world that is Microsoft
No one short of a clairvoyant is going to be able to give you a SPECIFIC answer, and fix, for your question/concerns/bitch because no one knows all of the particulars regarding your operating system, the browser you are using and how you have that configured, so there is no need to be a smart ass about it when someone tries to help you with an answer you either don't want to hear and or don't understand
I am a computer dumb ass myself, but I know enough to know that what I am telling you is accurate information
Works the same way things do on my Schwab account page(s) or my Kaiser medical on-line pages/account, but in those instances the log out is initiated on their end for obvious reasons, the material accessible when logged in to either of those accounts can be very sensitive
It's to help preserve your privacy, in case you "left the oven on" so to speak; in other words, if you were viewing or engaged in an activity you wished to remain secure or private and were called away, that, or using a multiple user machine
The behavior is normal and probably the result of some default setting of your operating system......................I deal with it by simply re-typing my user name and password
But yes, LH is a little "quick on the draw" when compared to some other sites which behave the same way (for example, Kaiser won't log me out for at least 20 minutes), *LH is bit quicker to do so
I have never pursued changing things (settings), I don't even use the "remember me" option as I don't like getting into that habit as this machine is shared as I just mentioned
I don't really see what the rub is and if it's that big a deal (to simply re-enter your log in info), go into your settings and make the necessary adjustments
You computer doesn't know whether you are viewing your stock portfolio, your private medical records or porn, so in your best interest, the operating system (depending on your settings and the site in question) "signs/logs you out" after a certain amount of time has passed with no activity (you doing something) in order to protect your privacy, unless YOU tell it to do otherwise
If you do not know how to check/do this yourself, you are going to have to find someone there with you and in person (a very kind and patient person, willing to endure your abuse), to help you cure what's bugging you. You do not appear to have the temperament to allow folks on-line to try and help you by walking you through it.
Every suggestion, about anything, sent your way only elicits and argument, insults or an excuse out of you: that is why I am not volunteering for the job
Good luck
*Case in point, I was logged out while typing this post
Now you have the link to vBulletin's forum. They have the right knowledge to give you any more than educated guesswork.
Back to your problem. Here's my 2 cents worth of guessing:
1) Somewhere in your audioheritage.org profile there might be a configuration that logs you out, which I haven't found. Maybe the vBulletin forum can help you there.
2) The issue resides on your computer. Which is your table/responsibility entirely. Windows is a very flexible platform. Each user can configure and/or install lots of software that modify the behaviour.
Since this works satisfactory for most users, there is little reason to believe it is an issue with our vBulletin installation and / or server.
I believe you need local hands-on help.
Good luck.

Except I haven't changed any setting(s) on my computer and the problem seemed to go away by itself so that's why I suspected something was done on your (the forum) end.
But as long as the problem doesn't reappear I won't worry about it. Guess I now will see what happens today.
It's back again!!!! Seems every time I turn around I have to log back in!!!
40+ years of sacrifice...and for what???
