I find, that when I look at a thread, then press reply, it says I'm already logged out. I guess this is because I have steam. Anyways can you allow us to stay online longer on the forums?

I think it's actually a safety measure, auto kicks you so if you forget to close your account, then the other people that may use your computer cant impersonate you.

Frudious, how long do you

Frudious, how long do you stay logged into the forums? I mean, I log in with Steam and I typically stay logged in for around 24 hours if I don't manually log out.

It would be nice to have an option to remain logged in. Yes, it works as a safety precaution to those that use shared computers, but I'm sure users can make a solid decision for themselves (perhaps having the option to remain logged in unchecked by default).

If I stay idle for more then

If I stay idle for more then 30 seconds I get logged off. It counts me as idle even if I'm ready a thread or typing in a post.

@Frudious:

Do you have like...

Anti-virus software that automatically deletes cookies? Or your browser switched to not accept cookies?

Only thing I could think of.

I've been recently having

I've been recently having problems with staying logged into the forums. It seems to have cleared up now, but it was a downright pain back then. I don't believe it's steam related. I can't even fathom what it could be because it occured on two of my PCs and the one I use now just fixed itself up.
