Why am I logged out after a certain period of time, and have to log back in?  This is after checking the stay logged in box?  It seems to be something like 30, 45, or 60 days.

I believe the cookie they store on your computer that keep you logged in can have a expiration day. I would assume its something the web site programmer sets. I know I have ran into this. I find if my computer at home I have to relog in, when I go to work I have to relog in the same day. I really don’t know the reason why they would need a expire date.

I think that if I am logged in on one device and then log in on another device the other device generally gets logged off. Also if I go to another site while writing a post I sometimes lose the unfinished post. I suspect they’re security or housekeeping measures and goodness knows we need those!

There is a security setting that auto logs you out after I believe 30-days, even if you have the “stay logged” in option selected.  Even I have to log back in after the clock expires.
