Storytime with Amaury - 5/19/2012

I was 1 minute away from being timed out at 3:45 PM PDT because I got busy with something and hadn't done anything since 3:30 PM PDT, but I happened to look at the clock, and it was 3:44 PM PDT, so I went to KHV and clicked What's New? and thought to myself that it was a close one.

In other words, I haven't timed out once today since coming online around 9:00 AM PDT. Am I awesome? :3

 

Far from it. You have some work to do before you can be acknowledged as awesome.

 

I keep my profile always on so I don't time out. It also keeps me from timing out when I do the arcade

 

Well, if you're not active for a while (e.g., don't do anything on the forum for a while), you time out. For here, the session timeout is set to 15 minutes, the vBulletin default.

 

yes, you're cool .

 

apparently not, because since I clicked the box that says "Remember me" I stay logged in, even if I'm not active for 30 minutes. Seriously, I can keep a tab of KHV up for a whole day and do nothing on here, come back at the end of the day, and it wouldn't time out. That's what that box is for...well, sorta

 

You still go offline after 15 minutes of inactivity, though. All "Remember Me?" does is save a cookie somewhere, so, if you're, say, gone for 30 minutes and come back, you won't have to log in again.

Trust me on this, I'm an expert. :smile:

 

oh whatever, I'm going at face value for this, so I'm just going to pretend that I stay logged in
