The last couple of days, since I installed a Tag module, it seems that a few minutes of inactivity I get logged out of Galllery 3. It is a PIA because I am going from program to program and everytime I leave G# for a few minutes I have to log back in.

Anyone know what causes this?

Thanks

you could increase the admin_area_timeout time from the default 5400
Settings -> Advanced.

I doubled the number and still logs me out. Never noticed it doing before but guess it must have. What a pain. Really like what I am accomplishing in...works perfect for me...so it certainly out weighs the pain! Hopefully someone will come up with better control over that.

This is now starting to get on my nerves. Is there any way to disable the password all together. This is not right!

Thanks

Must be your setup.
Don't know why.

Hi
I am very new here.
I have just created a new site. I changed to theme Grey Dragon, all was fine before.

Using XP and IE8 it logs me out after a change of screen.

It is OK with Chrome and XP.
It is OK on Windows 7 Starter with IE.
It is OK with other themes.

Seems to be XP and IE8 which is the problem, tried on two computers, is this any clue.

Very good! Thanks! That was exactly it. I was using Safari. I downloaded Chrome and I've been logged on from 2.5 hours. Not sure about FF but I bet that times out two as I have been using that intermittently. If it didn't time out I would notice.

You have been great time saver! Thank you!

I am quite amazed that others have not posted about this. Maybe there is other factors but I would have thought that XP with IE is not rare!

Yeah unfortunately IE versions usually always needs special treatment when it comes to html (and javascript) stuff, it's probably flipping out at some code only it doesn't like. Have you tried using IE9? They apparently ironed out some problems with that version... IE10 is just around the corner ;)

IE8 is ancient. Google and many others are dropping support for IE8 and below.
Many sites offer the Google Chrome Frame plugin for IE < 9 which adds the chrome rendering engine to the aging browser - it really is quite amazing.
Add this to page.html.php just inside the <body>:

    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1/CFInstall.min.js"></script>
        <style>
            .chromeFrameInstallDefaultStyle {
                width: 800px;
                height: 800px;
                border: 1px solid #ccc;
                z-index: 10;
            }
        </style>
        <div id="prompt"></div>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.attachEvent("onload", function() {
                CFInstall.check({
                    mode: "inline", // the default
                    node: "prompt"
                });
            });
        </script>
    <![endif]-->

This will present the chrome frame option to IE8 and below.

Try it yourself.

I have also had problems relating to time-out. I have changed the default settings, but this has made no difference. Could it be something specific with my host? Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.

I found it was Safari and it seemed that after I reset it, the timing worked as expected. But did not have problem with Chrome or FF.
