When people spend more than 30 min. writting a post, and they click submit, first they get a message saying that the post was already submitted, and if they try to go back and submit again, they have to log in again, and write the post again.
It seems that they are being logged off after only 30 mins. of "innactivity".

I turned on custom sessions, and set it to 150, but they still get logged out after only 30.

I have PHP v 4.3.9

What could be wrong?

PS: I don't want to auto-login, just more than just 30 mins. People in my forums write long posts, so this is happening quite often.

it happened to me on this site last night too!.

i always tend to write long posts in text files and copy paste then to the forums! but then XOOPS is the only forum i have seen with a time limit!, just that once i was writing directly to the forum!.. kinda annoying because i lost my post and took me too long to write first time to be bothered doing it all again.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

No one?
