Session Time Limit ???

I noticed that when I go away from the computer for a length of time, I'm logged out automatically.

Can you tell me the "TIME" limit BEFORE I'm logged out ?

Not a big deal, just unusual for a forum.

The session timeout is 3600 seconds, or 1 hour.  That is pretty common and the default for forums running the same software we run.

Following article describes the convenience vs security trade-offs in a commercial environment. Our application does not involve sensitive data, so our timeout period is much longer.
