Why is the login timeout so short?

AI Thread Summary

The short login timeout is causing frustration for users who lose their posts when the session expires. To prevent this, users can select the "Remember Me" option to stay logged in longer. However, caution is advised when using public terminals, as this setting can pose security risks. Logging out after use is recommended to protect personal information. Adjusting the timeout duration is not an option currently available.

Well anyone? I was trying to post a reply and the thing timed out and I lost my post, extremely frustrating, is there a way to change the time out and keep me logged in?

Simply tick the "Remember Me" box. Remember to log out if you using a public terminal, since your login won't timeout.

Thread 'SPOILERs and "My News Feed"'

I just noticed that in my "Your news feed" under "What's New", SPOILER tags are ignored in both my own and other people's posts. This seems... inexpedient? (Couldn't find a sure translation of "uhensigtsmæssigt" so I went with "inexpedient". Hope the meaning gets through.) ---------------------------------------------
