Being logged out.
I've looked for an answer but couldn't find one.
I'm logged in but if I go away for a while, say ten minutes or so, I have to log in again. I could not find anything telling me how to stay logged in.
Any ideas?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

1) You use the Log Out link
2) Your browser is set to delete cookies when it's closed
3) You clear your browser's cookies within the browser
4) You have a 3rd party software that deletes cookies and other "temp" files
5) You don't have a corrupt cookie
Sounds like number 5 is your issue. You will need to delete all your CorvetteForum cookies within the browser and revisit and log back in. If you don't clear out all CorvetteForum cookies, then the issue will continue until something, eventually, causes the cookie to get deleted and you get a new one. There is no setting in your account or on our side that results in this issue nor can it be fixed on this side. It requires you clear your browser's cookies and start over. The issue is not specific to CorvetteForum as nearly every website uses atleast one or more cookies per site and one can become "corrupt" and only impact the site it was used for. Today it might be CorvetteForum and tomorrow it might be your other favorite website.

If this is a problem, the only possible suggestion is to convert your account to a normal username/password. Of course then you can't use the Google authentication.

If you're using the Google authentication login then that is session-based and expires every 30 minutes of inactivity and will require logging back in. This is the way the Google authentication system works.
