Why does this site throw me out after about 5 minutes?

It's annoying having to keep logging in.. is there any way I can change this? I know I don't contribute much as it is..

Try checking the "Remember Me" box next to the login -- see if that helps..

that should fix it. Happens to me sometimes when I log in from a public computer.

Thanks, just didn't want to do that on work's computer.. not that I think anyone else is likely to log into a science forum from my PC...

What's up with this? You just joined, give it time.

 

In case you were wondering, posts in General Discussion (where all your posts are so far) don't show up in your post count. Post in the sciencey sub-forums if you want that post count to rise above zero.

 

Everyone here has a POV that is important. Including you. Sorry the technology has been annoying.

I might be security settings/software on your computer killing the cookie after some time, possibly.
