Even with the remember me, you should not time out in 5 minutes, that's can't be the cause.
Have you changed something with your browser settings?
Have you installed any new softare that might "clean" cookies or other things?
What browser / version / OS are you using?

I use Windows XP and I have cookies enabled for this site. If I don't do anything on here for 5 minutes or so, when I come back, I have to re-login. It's no big deal, just a minor inconvenience.

Well, Rememebr me will fix it, but thats a cheat.
Normally your cookie should last (generally 20 minutes) or more depending on the server and how long the cookies are set to expire.
The other object is browser sessions, meaning as long as your browser is open, the cookie should be fine.
Thats why I am led to believe there is something else interfereing on your system.

Lots of insight from you guys about this glitch. Need to experiment. Sounds like a good time to fire up. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I think it might have to do with the "Live" add-on to the vB software...actually Eric may have mentioned this before...let me look around.

It does not mention which page. I would recommend emailing Eric.
