With the upgrade to 2.0.9, I also abandoned my PhpBB forum and started using NewBB which is completely integrated. (I'm looking forward to the final of NewBB2)

One thing my users are complaining about is that they have to log in over and over again. They want to stay logged in and are getting a bit annoyed over this change.

So, I installed a hack called 'auto-login' which gives the option to keep a cookie for a year. But this doesn't work. Also, it makes no difference what number I enter in 'duration of session/session time' in the admin configuration; all user are logged out after 30 to 40 minutes of inactivity.

Is there any way to handle this? Should I undo the hack of can I edit the cookie time somewhere manually?

Thanks for any help!

Never mind. I found the solution here.

Hi Yero. You state you found the solution in the thread you refer to. Did you install the hack that is described in that thread and did that do the trick? Or did you do something else?
Thanks!

I am committed to maintain the hack for both Latest Stable and Latest Beta/RC release. I am using CVS to maintain this hack and you can count on me on providing quality hack.

Suggestions and bug-reports are always welcome.

Cheers,
