New Posts time

[Zifnab]

Is there any chance the time of inactivty before new posts are reset could be increased? It's been a problem of mine (and so probably other people) for some time, where I'm reading a long thread and sometimes doing other tasks, and once I exit out of the thread and go to search new posts I find I've been idle too long.

I'ts currently 15 minutes. Do that many people think/want it to be longer?

[Yamaneko]

I've had this problem too. Thirty minutes would be good, I think.

EDIT: And no, I won't waste an extra tab by keeping the Who's Online list open.

Why not tick that box that says keep me logged in?

[Flying Mullet]

Because it has nothing to do with being logged in. When we bring up EoFF for the first time all of the theads with new posts are marked with a red folder. What Jenova·Rebirth is talking about is that if they pull up a thread, perhaps read half of it, then go make a sandwich for lunch and finish up reading the thread, if it takes longer than 15 minutes when tehy go back to the forum index all of those threads that were marked with new content now show that there is not any new content as 15 minutes has passed.

And I agree that bumping it up to 30 minutes couldn't hurt, unless keeping that data longer chews up some system resources of the site that we aren't aware of.

Sounds like a decent request, actually. *goes to fix*

EDIT: It's now set to 30 minutes. Or, to be specific, 1800 seconds. Hooray.

Yay BoB you saved my day

[crono_logical]

Nice to see it also inflating the number of users currently online

[Loony BoB]

Hehe, yeah, I noticed that. Now we actually have a remote chance of possibly defeating that 212 that was brought about by the server move somehow.

[Dr Unne]

I think there was probably good reason not to have it set for so long. 30 minutes seems like too long to me.

[Flying Mullet]

Unless there was a good reason I would think that being able to see new posts for more than a few minutes far out-weighs showing that more people were online in the last half-hour.
