Is there NO way to increase the time until the site automatically logs the user out due to inactivity.
I hate that every time I write a big post taking me 20 minutes or so to write (IF even that), that I am unable to post because I'm logged out.
Now that alone wouldn't bother me, just sign in and continue. HOWEVER whenever I log back in, my post completely gets swallowed and I get the message that I must type 10 or more character. What the hell my post was MORE than 100 characters, potentially 1000 (maybe), why would logging back in not register the post that I just had so when I logged back in, it would my post my comment.
I'm tired of backing up the pages to my post after logging in, or logging in another tab to avoid the issues that automatically logging out occurs.
I'm not saying its a bad feature, I'm just thinking that its probably set to the lowest possible duration before logging out. 30 minutes to 40 minutes would probably be preferred.
If it is not possible or was decided against increasing it for various reasons, I'll move on and accept it. Just find it incredibly annoying. Especially since outside of always being logged in (which I won't activate for obvious security reasons) that the user themselves don't have the personal option of increasing their own time. Or if it was possible, I have yet to find it in the options.
But again I'll understand if not possible, and will move on.
