Since when has it been necessary to login just to lurk? I noticed it this weekend. I usually go to the "view today's active threads" and now I have to login first to get there.

Is this the new policy to keep the trolls off the board? Or did I mess something up with my profile some how?

Also, how do you get to stay logged in longer? If I walk away from the computer and come back 15 minutes later, I have to login again.

Oh all the extra key strokes to login are wasting my precious time.:D

Dunno what is wrong on your end-

i log in and as long as i dont shut off my computer or defrag it, im still ok to come back and post.

new computer?

Nope. Same computer I've had for years.

Inactivity has always canceled my login. But now I have to login just to lurk. Never had to do that before. I used to only have to login to post.
 
The only time I have to log in is if I've deleted cookies. Have you changed your security settings? Make sure the date on your computer is correct, if it is off it can affect cookies.
 
Well I haven't knowingly changed any settings on my home computer. But I'm typing this reply from my work computer (don't tell the boss) and I was forced to login on this machine too just to lurk. Therefore, I'd think it has something to do with my account?????
 
We have made a few changes that will affect lurkers only. These changes were made as a security measure and to protect bandwidth for the members only. A full explaination will be forth coming. As far as auto log off, that is not to do with anything on the server's end. I would check your settings to see if something changed there. Thanks for the feedback.
