Forums won't store login
IgD:
I've accessed the lazarus.freepascal.org forums from several different systems. I'm experiencing the same problem on all of them. Even if I check the save login info box, I have to re-login frequently. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have the forums setup to save your session for I think 6 hrs. After that it destroys your sessions and requires that you login again. I have it set this way to give a more accurate representation of the currect user activity.

Ah, are you sure activity is measured by how many people are logged in? Can you measure it by the number of HTTP requests in the last 5 minutes or so?
Can people by logged in and at the same time offline? If they haven't done any HTTP requests for the last five minutes, you can mark them 'offline'.
Just some suggestions from a know-nothing-about-web-forum-administering ;-)

No. PNphpBB2 is, as the name implies tied direclty into PostNuke which is what is used to run this site. While the tie in lets you login into just PostNuke to activate you phpBB2 account they both still maintain separate statistics. If you look at the Who's Online at the left this indiates the number of people who have accessed the site within the last 6 hours. It maintains your session for that length of time. This is session information that it stores in the PostNuke database to identify you communications.

Yes you can be offline from the internet and still logged into the Lazarus site for up to 6 hours. After that time it removes your session from the database.
A while back it was set to just a few minutes before it timed out but a longer time was requested. I moved it to 24 hrs but the Who's online data was really out of proportion. I moved it back to around 6 hrs.

If I choose login at the top of the forums page, I get a login page with a checkbox which says: "log me on automaticly each visit". What is the purpose of this checkbox, if you get logged off automaticly after six hours of inactivity. Generally, I do sleep more than six hous a night and I am automaticly NOT logged on each visit in the morning.
