Ben,

The cookie timout limit is set to 10000 seconds. This means that if you don't actually click the logout link, it will look like you are still logged in for about two and a half hours after your last activity on the board.

Because the "remember me" checkbox is selected automatically when you log in using the forum home page, this makes it so that the next time you come to the forum you should automatically be logged in again unless you have actually clicked on the Log Out link. That's what happens to me anyway.

The only way to be fully logged out is to actually click on the Log Out link. You should not show up as online if you have logged out like this.

You can always get an idea of someones recent activity here on the forum by going to their profile page and looking at the time of their last activity.

Anyway, if anyone thinks that the cookie timeout limit is too long, just let me know and I'll change it so that it's shorter.

Hope that helps to clear things up.

Clancy
