cite (from manual):

"Depending on forums setup, user login can expire in different time. Usually it expires within 1-2 hours, but administator can also make more longer expire"...

How to do it? People wants from me to change it.

Thx for help!

Edit $cookie_expires setting.

Thx :)

once i log into the board, how long does the person stay logged in for?

This setting is defined in $cookie_expires option. $cookie_renew options sets amount of the time, after which $cookie_expires will be enlarged automatically, if user is on forums near the expiring time.

i dont understand why i keep getting signed out so quick on my forum..

what time settings should I use so that users are not signed out for a month..

my current settings are:

$cookie_expires=2592000;
$cookie_renew=1800;
$cookielang_exp=2592000;

2592000 = 1 month.

Be sure to set unique $cookiename also.

$cookielang_exp is an old setting and doesn't mean anything, in general.
