The past few days has seen me having to log in every 24 hours or so, rather being able to just go straight in without signing in again. It appears that the session cookie time limit has been changed (maybe from the admin panel?) from non-expiring to 24 hours.

Is it possible to return the session time limit for logged on users back to what it was previously?

Not a huge issue, but still annoying...

As I've come to look on here for the last time today I have also had to login, only other time I've had to do that is when the site has been reloaded.

For some reason the site does that. I can go for weeks with out having to log back in then I will have to log on twice in a day. Dont ask me why, I have no idea but as far as I know, no one has changed anything in the last few days (or weeks)

I seem to have to log in every time I visit.

1st world problem I know but a bit annoying. Never used to be the case.

What platform, and when you log in is there a box to tick that says "remember me"?
The older I get, the slower I was.

Hey Mat,

what does ticking the "Remember Me" box do !

Does it just remember my detail for the next time I visit the page, or
Does it leave me permanently logged in ?
Just wait for me at the next corner !!!!

No, you are not permanently logged on. It just tells the browser you are using to remember your details so you dont have to log on manually.
