Sorry for the frustration! BTDT
The system timeout is 30 minutes of INACTIVITY - as long as you do something within 30 minutes you're still logged in as far as the system is concerned.
However, depending on your security settings, your computer may not allow cookies that long, or at all - in which case you will not stay logged in. Note that the only way any website knows who you are is via cookies, so they must be allowed to use any forum software.
The solution is fortunately simple - just tick the "Remember Me" box when you log in. And then if on a shared computer, remember to LOG OUT when done or the next person to go to the site will still be logged in!
Finally if you have just created the ultimate book-length post - always select it all and copy it to the clipboard before submitting!  DAMHIK
